This was our 1st time at this property based on other guest reviews so we decided to give BW a chance. There is a parking chaege but felt that it was secured and there are ample stalls available. There is street parking, but park at your own risk. Check-in was very fast and efficient. Upon entering the room, strong smell of bleach/chlorine greeted us at the door each time we came in. Im not sure if that's good or bad. Room was spacious with 2 queens & sofabed. Queen beds were comfy Pillows could be a little more fluffy, we got 4 flat pillows on each bed. Sofabed mattress was very uncomfortable, springs poking out and only 1 flat sheet. Microwave was not clean, leftover food still caked on the rotating dish. Didnt want to complain since we didnt really use it but did end up washing it ourselves bc it was gross. Laundry machines are new and was very convenient to have at the end of our stay. Breakfast buffet was a hit or miss. Arrive early to get the waffles,& eggs or end up getting whatever is left. We slept in on most of our days but its nice knowing this hotel offers complimentary breakfast. Location is next to the freeway and close by to shops & restaurants. Overall, stay was pleasant and would consider staying again.

Stinky and loud
The room was a little smelly and it was right next to the freeway which made it noisy. The breakfast was subpar. They were constantly out of food. Also, when we put our towels on the rack so they would not be taken and washed and the maid took them anyway. I think they could do better with being more green efficient.

Stayed on the 4th floor right next to the dining hall which was very loud and disrupted our sleep every morning. Other than that, the stay was good, front desk personnel were all very pleasant. We will book with your hotel again, but will not stay on the same room.

Staff were excellent. Hotel is right by the freeway but if you’re facing away from it, rooms are quiet enough. Breakfast was complimentary but the dining room is small so recommend come early if you want a table and you’re family or group is large. Some of the basic items were never stocked (toast, bagels etc). And there was fruit on one of the mornings. Also the wifi was slow and terrible. We were in a room far from the main elevator so maybe that was the reason. But it was almost unusable.
