Small cramped double queen room was actually a double full. The bathroom had little to no counter space. No sound blocking and next to a freeway means loud traffic at night.

It was a run down hotel no different than a motel 6. They just have a nice pool.

Liked the restaurant, Postcards. The air con was working well! The fridge was working great! Didn't like the paid parking when the gates were open all the time. The laundry room was messy and trash was all over the floor. Smelled bad too.
