Everything was superb. The staff was superb. Especially Mata. The best Continental breakfast I've had so far. The only downfall so far is that we checked out an hour and a half ago. And the deposit hasn't been put back on my card yet.

Great little extras
Loved the fact that you could her fresh ground and brewed coffee at all hours, the breakfast was good, service was wonderful, elevators were very fast (and smooth) and you could check out a white noise machine, which we loved.

Can you ignore noise level?
When A Hotel offers free ear plugs in every room you should pay attention.
Located next to a busy freeway and a highway intersection a good nights rest can only be achieved if you can ignore the noise level provided by honking cars , revving motorcycle engines and the occasional train horns in the distance. Better windows and a more solid wall construction could help here.
Employees were nice and rooms were clean - no complaints there.
Would not recommend because of the noise issues especially considering the room price.
