People great facilities terrible.
Pros:

The staff was amazing.

Cons:

TV was so old, it couldn't stream anything. The wi-fi didn't allow you to go the web, so I had to use my personal hotspot for all things internet (including the youtube we had to run from my laptop to the TV). NOT GOOD.

Everyone was great! I would stay again and recommend this hotel.
Pros:

I love it looks like apartments and well kept on the outside.

Cons:

Overall my stay was great. I didn’t like that I was unable to connect my Xbox to the WiFi but my hotspot came in clutch. Other than that once renovated they will be amazing.

Very disappointing customer service and misleading presentation of the property online.
Pros:

The location was convenient after a long drive.

Cons:

The customer service was extremely disappointing. I arrived around 11:00 PM with children after a long road trip and presented my official temporary DMV driver license because my physical ID had been stolen. Despite this being an official DMV-issued document, the front desk refused to accept it and initially refused to check us in.
Instead of trying to help or offering any reasonable solution, they insisted that I contact Booking and completely change the reservation into another guest’s name because that person had a physical ID. We spent nearly an hour at midnight dealing with this stressful situation while exhausted from the road. The staff repeatedly blamed “manager policy” and showed no empathy or willingness to assist.
Additionally, the property itself did not match the photos shown online. The pictures on Booking appear outdated and make the hotel look much newer and better maintained than it actually is. The room cleanliness was also below expectations.

This was a really great place for an overnight rest and shower after 3 days of camping.
Pros:

The breakfast was great and so was the location - right off the freeway and on the way home from Sequoia. Loved that there were two bedrooms and two full bathrooms which was perfect for our group of four women

Cons:

We were looking forward to playing pickleball on the court but the net was unfortunately missing/broken. It would have been great if the pool also had a hot tub.
