Fun dinosaur theme, good hot breakfast with many options, large pool and jacuzzi, plenty of parking, close to convenience stores, restaurants and freeways.
One of the only issues I had with this property is it says it has a heated swimming pool and hot tub that is open all year around and that is one reason I used to stay here in the past, but when I stayed there this time, the pool in the hot tub were completely empty and not in use. However, everything else was good. Room was clean. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good content with my overall stay.

The staff was great. Took care any issues that came up. Hotel is under new management and compared to my previous stay this visit felt less than anticipated. Work needs to be done to bring this hotel up to acceptable standards. Don’t cut corners.
We booked a last minute reservation. Not normally somewhere we would stay. Plesently surprised considering the price. Very clean , quiet and staff was very nice
Quiet hotel, room was nice, really good breakfast. Friendly staff. Had trouble with the TV remote working and the front desk person came right up and fixed it. Nice and clean room.
The room was very nice. Ground floor so it was easy with my things and my huge dog. Walking around the property was peaceful and educational. I really liked the dinosaur theme. Relatively close distance to other things. Worth every penny!
