"The hotel is conveniently located with easy freeway access and numerous dining options. It is an older hotel and was at one time part of the Drury family (a small chain of mid-grade business focused hotels). While the room fixtures and furnishings seem to be left over from the Drury days, it is clean and well maintained. Best of all the breakfast was surprisingly pleasant and the price was well below hotels of similar quality."
