Room was HUGE -- really a suite -- and warm. Included fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. Plenty of outlets & lighting. Free unsecured wireless. Many inexpensive dining options nearby. Free newspapers. Fitness room small but clean, with four machines and cable tv, and open 24/7. Very close to the freeway. Free parking.

Key stopped working twice. Heard sounds of a fight at 3 am (not the hotel's fault - just know that the walls aren't entirely soundproof). Problem with the bill upon checkout in spite of prior e-mail discussion to resolve pre-stay charge on my credit card; according to the GM, the credit card company is at fault for reporting an authorization as an actual charge, and he eventually took the charge off the invoice, but that and the unreliable keys are the two main reasons I cannot unreservedly recommend this location; if you don't mind the potential for that kind of hassle, it really is a terrific deal. (I had read reviews by other travelers that had warned about invoicing issues, so I'd made sure I'd packed my printouts and cc statement.)
