Didn’t like the shower, they should fix the handle of the shower. It’s hard to turn and couldn’t control hot and cold water.

Free parking! Free WiFi! Clean Rooms! Conveniently located to highway 92 off ramp West to Connect to 101! Blackout shades, many popular cable channels on TV I didn’t see MTV or TLC or Lifetime but there were many others suitable or just connect your mobile device (android) so me it’s a Samsung TV with mirroring it. Breakfast buffet $25.00per person was a bit high but it was a Sunday so not sure if it’s their regular price but it wasn’t that bad and mimosas for $16 per person. There is a pool on lower level and a small gym on the 4th floor with many ellipticals machines. The few things I wasn’t too fond of was the squeaky King Sized bed which squeaked every move I made esp when I first sat down. The toilet made a loud Sound every 15-20 mins not sure what that was about. And being across from The ice machine although the 4th floor showed as a quiet zone, I can hear the sounds of water Being poured out from the ice machine very now and then. Other than that I don’t really have any complaints but the squeaky bed. It wasn’t enough of an issue to contact the front desk about, overall I did enjoy my stay.
