I've been staying at this property for many years. The latest remodeling and other property improvements have made this a much more pleasant place. The rooms are comfortable, and the on-site restaurant provides a very good breakfast option. The staff is always friendly and most are bilingual.

The hotel is nice, and the room was nice, but has drawbacks. The hotel does not have an elevator and there is no bellman to assist if you are booked on the second floor. The hotel is rectangular, so it you get a room around 230 ish you are on the opposite side of the hotel (longer walk). The ice machine only works on the second floor. All the rooms with two beds are only double sized, good enough for only one person. Towels, if you book here, ask ahead of time for them to have enough towels in the room. This hotel is not close to anything, you will need transportation if you are going somewhere. The maintenance personnel said for the AC do not put the temp higher than 68 F or the room will start to smell.

This hotel, previously Howard Johnson, Had some updates in the rooms (they changed the windows type and add a small fridge) beds are comfortable clean room, only available rooms with double beds, which I don’t care, everything else remains the same, it is a basic hotel. The staff is friendly, the pool is quite spacious, enough to spend a night or two without having the bustle of the hotel in the downtown. Parking is free and with security. Breakfast is varied I think they should corroborate or improve the booking system and notify customers in detail about the prices and what it includes. For example, I made a reservation through the phone in which clearly included me breakfast. When we arrive the breakfast room, the employee tells us that it was not included in our room price and that we had to pay. She went for a few minutes to the front desk just for turn back and said “its ok” I stayed in this hotel a few weeks before, and I requested the price for a late check out, which it will cost 55 dollars. Now I asked again, and they wanted to charge me 75 !!!!???? for 4 more hours for just using the pool? Too expensive for what we get .…
