My favorite was the bed- so comfortable! The next was the friendliness of the staff. The complimentary breakfast was extensive and delicious. My only negative was the freeway noise. I would stay there again.

Great place to stay while visiting our son close by. Lots of food options within walking distance. Free breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had! Delicious! Staff was very kind and helpful. Room was clean and well stocked. Only complaint would be we tried to use the hot tub 3 different days but it was cold on each occasion so we could not.

The receptionist (Mark) was terrific when we checked in yesterday. For some reason our key card didn’t work. Mark asked if he could give it a try (3rd floor at the end of the long hallway) but the key didn’t work for him either. So he solved the problem right away by moving us to a different room immediately (because we were very tired after a long day at Safari Park). Thanks again Mark!

Handicapped Access Nightmare (Extra Cost)

Our stay was very disappointing because we paid extra for a handicapped suite and it was not well-equipped for someone in a motorized wheelchair with little mobility. The toilet was too close to shower/cabinet that it was impossible to get scooter close enough to the toilet to transition over. This meant needing extra assitance. Plus the bed was so high that I could not get into it from wheelchair and had to sleep on the sofa. Horrible experience overall and paid extra for a handicapped room. You should consider evaluating your rooms for mobility AND should not charge more for services that are not up to standards.
