    Days . It should Be free.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Convenient location right off the freeway. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Wish there were a few more breakfast options for Eggs, bacon/sausages, pancakes/waffles. Also offer whole milk too, not just 2%. Didn't get a voucher to visit Benihana's next door. The room curtains were confusing at first because they wouldn't close until I found the black outs. Needs bigger fridge that is more stable with a bigger icebox.

    Basic room but showing its age. Great for families going to Legoland.

    Clean good breakfast Noisy neighbors above us

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Pictures on line looked better than the property actually was. It is in need of maintenance. There was a smell and dampness to our room that was very unpleasant. The staff was pleasant and helpful and moved us, but the second room wasn’t much better. The complimentary breakfast was just okay.

    Daily parking fee in lot shared with Benihana.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    That it was right across from Benihana The fact that whoever was staying above us had no consideration! They made so much noise walking hard stomping flipping all night and woke up to it again. We called the front desk and complained no change so we checked out early and that was our first and probably last time coming there! Sad we came to enjoy Memorial Day weekend and we left disappointed

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Breakfast room was packed. Meal choices are decent. Meal quality is not very good. Fridge in the room made lot of noise. Floor insulation is very bad, we heard every little step from the people on the floor above. They tried to charge $13 for parking per night (it says on the booking website "private parking", but nothing about "you have to pay for parking".
