"We had a very comfortable weekend stay. Great location! The room was very clean and we slept well on the comfortable beds. The area was surprisingly quiet considering it’s located on a main road. But that made it easy to get gas and meals. One morning we took a pleasant walk two blocks to Whole Foods and enjoyed our breakfast there. The location is right off of the freeway. I would definitely stay there again."
