Clean room, on-site parking right on the main strip. Room smelled of a very strong flower cleaner. Personal it was overwhelming and I had to keep a window open. The staff was polite.

Room was great. The manager Nick is fabulous, very informative about the area and things to do especially at Arcadia. The hotel was in a perfect place. Food was great at the restaurants near by. Can walk to them with great selections especially cause i have a gluten allergy . Overall a great place to stay.
