I asked to be located away from freeway noise and was put so close I could see traffic on I5 from my window. Room smelled so moldy from a water leak that penetrated carpet. I called front desk to request a anti mold agent and they did respond quickly with a maintenance person and a can of Lysol. Room smelled to bad and caused breathing problems so I stayed out by pool most of evening. Requested another room but they couldn't accommodate.

I like the room we had. It was simple, comfortable, had a microwave, coffee maker, fridge. The hot water took a while though. The breakfast was decent. Didn’t care too much for the oatmeal. But it was a nice place overall.
