The hotel was lovely. Staff were amazing. Super clean, great shower, nice outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, it shares a parking lot with a very busy In-n-Out drive through. I love In-n-Out, but the line was blocking all of the handicapped parking spaces for the hotel, which I needed, and people in line were...well, donkeys, for sake of censorship.
