Free parking! Free WiFi! Clean Rooms! Conveniently located to highway 92 off ramp West to Connect to 101! Blackout shades, many popular cable channels on TV I didn’t see MTV or TLC or Lifetime but there were many others suitable or just connect your mobile device (android) so me it’s a Samsung TV with mirroring it. Breakfast buffet $25.00per person was a bit high but it was a Sunday so not sure if it’s their regular price but it wasn’t that bad and mimosas for $16 per person. There is a pool on lower level and a small gym on the 4th floor with many ellipticals machines. The few things I wasn’t too fond of was the squeaky King Sized bed which squeaked every move I made esp when I first sat down. The toilet made a loud Sound every 15-20 mins not sure what that was about. And being across from The ice machine although the 4th floor showed as a quiet zone, I can hear the sounds of water Being poured out from the ice machine very now and then. Other than that I don’t really have any complaints but the squeaky bed. It wasn’t enough of an issue to contact the front desk about, overall I did enjoy my stay.
