Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Mixed impressions: several guests reported clean rooms, but multiple serious cleanliness complaints (urine on toilet, mildew/footlike odors, pet food under AC, dirt under bed, lingering smells) lower this category.
Service
8.6
Generally strong: staff repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming and accommodating (helpful suggestions, quick check-in/out). Isolated report of a rude front-desk agent noted.
Location
8.7
Consistently praised for proximity to Sequoia and Kings Canyon parks and convenient downtown suggestions; overall a major positive.
Room Quality
8
Mixed: many guests found rooms comfortable and beds soft, but others reported tiny or dated rooms, dark bathrooms, slippery bathtubs and occasional odors — overall slightly above average.
Amenities
8.1
Breakfast and lobby treats are positives (waffles, cookies), but amenities have issues: small/understaffed breakfast area, noisy indoor pool, and an unexpected paid parking option.
Value for Money
8.3
Often seen as good value for a road-trip stop (positive mentions of price/quality), though undisclosed parking fees and some dated/dirty rooms reduce perceived value for some guests.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast usually well-liked (variety, tasty items, complimentary), with occasional criticisms about limited space, minimal staffing and early end time.
Overall Experience
8.1
Overall a recommendable choice for travelers heading to the parks: strong location and service and generally satisfactory breakfasts, tempered by inconsistent cleanliness and some dated rooms.

Convenient for Sequoia, but below Marriott standards
Pros:

We stayed here for two nights while visiting Sequoia National Park. The location was relatively convenient for the park, which was a definite plus. However, the overall quality was only average. The air-conditioning units were large and quite noisy, which made the rooms less comfortable. We did not use the pool, so I cannot comment on it. Overall, I expected a higher standard from a Marriott property.

Pros:

Közel az autópályához - könnyű megközelítés, ám mégis csendes. Kedves recepcióscsapat, korrekt reggeliválaszték. Az ingyen kávé/tea mellé az uborkás víz tetszett.

Cons:

A klímaegység itt is mint a legtöbb amerikai hotelben hangos és nem hagyható bekapcsolva éjszakára ha nagy meleg van.

Bonne étape
Pros:

Super accueil
Petit déjeuner très bon
Frigo dans la chambre et machine à glaçons dans le couloir
Piscine et spa bien agréables après les visites

Cons:

Surprenant à l’arrivée, une chambre pour 5 adultes qui ne convenait que pour 4. Nous avons dû payer une chambre supplémentaire !
Est-ce une erreur de booking ou de l’hôtel faifield inn ?
À suivre

Pros:

Echt heel vriendelijk personeel! Ook een fijne locatie om naar Sequoia te gaan. Ruime kamers, lekker bed, goed ontbijt.

Cons:

Het ontbijt zelf was lekker, maar wel een erg kleine ruimte. Er was voor sommige mensen geen plek om te zitten. Ook kan je de buren best goed horen, als hun de tv aanhadden kon je het zelf ook horen.
