Pros:

first impression. the desk as I checked in. the manger on duty told me after we just checked in. informed me the elevator was broken. both of them. I asked what was the problem. he said they needed buttons. I asked him when will they be fixed. he said he had no idea. because they are special. BS. but I gave it benefit of doubt. then I asked for 1st floor room because if my knee injury. he told me they where given them to fire fighter. and that makes no sense. I was a fire fighter!! he never offered to assist us with luggage to are room. so I went up to are room. the room was very clean. absolutely. so at night time came we. called front desk for extra pillows. he said. come and get them he said he the only person at the desk. so I went down. stairs he left the pillows at desk. but he was no where to be found. strike #2 so ok. morning came i went down stairs to breakfast. there was they younger kinda girl looked like she just jumped out of bed 745am. in her pajamas make food for guest. them I went to get orange juice. it has flies around the juice. I noticed flys around old bannas. them to top it off . a cocroach on the wall. strike #3 i meet the house keeping crew. the supervisor is on top of it . and to boot someone left some clothes in hallway and its been there for past 3 hours. I saw your manager walking around looking like hes busy. what joke. we checked out with in the hour. and I waited to see if the desk manager would ask how my stay was .!! I discussed my concerns. he never once apologized or even showed any sense of responsibility .strike # 4
I travel quite often. I would rather sleep in my car. .

Cons:

the rooms where clean.

Pros:

Check in/Check out was quick and easy. They had my name backwards (first and last) but we figured it out.

Cons:

The fridge kicked on every 10 to 15 minutes which made for a semi restless night.

Hotel economico di livello economico
Pros:

L'hotel è su uno stradone, ma ha il vantaggio di essere molto vicino ad un centro commerciale con prezzi molto bassi (però al mattino i negozi aprono dopo le 10.00). Personale cortese ma di modi un po' bruschi. Struttura abbastanza moderna ma non lussuosa

Cons:

Piscina inagibile: un pozza verdastra dove anche i ragazzi si sono rifiutati di fare il bagno (e ne avevano una gran voglia, visto il caldo!)

Cons:

Hanno fatto il doppio pagamento e dopo tanti messaggi alla struttura non ho ricevuto nessuna risposta. Grazie a Booking che hanno pensato loro per il rimborso. Fino ora nessuna risposta della struttura.

Pros:

Struttura di passaggio a un’ora e mezza dal Sequoia national park.

Cons:

Camera pulita ma con un odore sgradevole (un leggero odore di candeggina). Colazione decisamente da migliorare
