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.

pas conforme à la présentation qui en est faite sur booking
Pros:

Rien de spécial

Cons:

. Petit déjeuner sans bagels sans œuf sans fromage et juste des pommes entières et quelques mandarines sans saveur.au lieu des fruits annoncés sur le site donc sans l’essentiel d’un petit déjeuner habituel américain.
. Mal isolé des bruits extérieurs
. Aménagement étrange de la chambre dont la vasque de salle de bain se trouve à côté du lit.
Booking devait prévenir ses clients de ces défauts dont j’ai vu d’autres personnes se plaindre, afin réserver ce type d’hôtel en toutes connaissances de cause. J’ai transmis des photos jointes à ma réclamation. Pas de réponse de booking pour l’instant à ma demande d’indemnisation.

Overall a comfortable stay in a quiet neighborhood.
Pros:

The receptionist was super nice! Breakfast was basic. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The one thing I didn’t like but couldn’t be helped was that my room was next to the elevator and it was quiet compared to the kids running in their rooms upstairs.
