Pros:

The room was clean and the extra blanket and pillows were waiting for me. Usually it is always forgotten. I will definitely go again.

Cons:

My husband said the breakfast needed more hot protein options. He needed bacon 😁 also It was inconvenient that once you left to get in the pool/spa you had to walk around to the main entrance to get back in the hotel

Schöner Aufenthalt
Pros:

Wir waren zu viert als Familie eine Nacht in salinas als Zwischenstopp. Das Hotel war sehr ruhig obwohl es an dem Highway liegt, hat sogar eine kleinen Pool. Das Zimmer war groß und sehr sauber. Frühstück war für amerikanische Verhältnisse in ganz in Ordnung. Können wir nur weiterempfehlen!

Convient pour une courte étape
Pros:

Un hotel un peu défraîchi quoique bien entretenu (les chambres sont très propres). Le personnel est professionnel mais le sens de l’accueil n’est pas très développé (difficile d’obtenir une réponse à un bonjour).

Cons:

L’hotel mériterait une rénovation. Il est situé au bord de l’autoroute et la zone n’est pas très agréable. Le petit déjeuner est plutôt basique mais l’essentiel y est. Mais le point le plus agaçant est le fait que la salle de peut déjeuner soit toute petite par rapport à la capacité de l’hôtel. Les clients doivent faire la queue pour déjeuner dans les sofa de l’accueil avec les enfants… ce n’est pas acceptable.
