Lovely hotel with flowers all around. A small parking but did not have any issues with finding a spot. The airport is near and you will hear the airplanes in the morning and night. The staff was nice.

The property location met our needs for the weekend of our stay. The pool area was clean and perfect temperature. Although this is an older property, it was well kept up, clean and safe, and it met all of our needs. The grounds was full of blooming hydrangeas and was a beautiful site to see.

This is an old building that has been updated and nicely. While the amenities were comfy and this hotel is located in prime area, it is also near gentleman's club which caught me off guard.

Convenience of location to restaurants and racetrack. Indoor pool. But, they no longer have a complementary breakfast. Our room was on the second storey and there is no elevator. No bedmaking, just new towels and coffee each day.

The price was right! In the middle of all attractions and or events. Very very clean! Airport is nearby but has some hours thru the night they don’t fly out . I wish they had a spa. The pool is heated but wish it was a little warmer but very clean ! So I’m going back next week to get away from Central Valley heat! Reception was very friendly !

The place was clean, located near the freeway and places to eat and minutes away from points of interest. They have a covered pool area. My only complaints are that our room wasn’t ready when we arrived and the internet was down/slow. Check in was at 3 pm but the room was still getting cleaned when we arrived at almost 4 pm. Tried to get another room that was already cleaned but since the internet was down, they couldn’t really do anything about it. To be fair, they had some people working on getting the internet problem fixed.
