Loud surroundings. Pet Friendly but…
We opted for the pet friendly room since we had our dog with us. The room we chose didn’t have a price difference from the non-pet rooms until we checked in. The fee was $25 and the attendant said the fee is waived if you book directly through them. My wife asked why wasn’t the price reflected on the website when we chose the room type but she didn’t respond. During the night, we thought our ground floor room window was open because we could hear regular conversations so clearly! You can also hear the upstairs walk around, drop things etc. Then around 2am, my wife and I woke up to loud thumping that may have been a washing machine or other activity from upstairs, along with loud music from somewhere else. We arrived from 14hours on the road & were too tired/car-lagged to call the front desk. You can hear the noise from the freeway but that didn’t bother us. The AC unit is governed to not go below 63 or 65 (can’t recall). There’s no option on unit to keep the fan running so we could drown out all the noise. If they fixed all the noise issues the stay would’ve been more pleasant but we’re not staying there again. Luckily we booked a better hotel for almost the same price for the rest of our stay.

The property exceeded my expectations. The property boasts a retro vibe. I love the style of the hotel. The room was so spacious and had a unique style. It’s a hidden gem. It’s in a quiet area. I love how the hotel was restored. It’s perfect!!
