Service

Generally positive: staff frequently described as friendly and helpful and accommodating (e.g., first-floor rooms for accessibility). A few reports of a rude check-in host and needing to request basic items at the desk.
Location

Strong: repeatedly praised for proximity to restaurants, fairgrounds, highway (395) and local shops; very convenient for visitors, though parking can be tight and there is no dedicated dog area/grass.
Room Quality

Mixed-to-poor: some recently upgraded rooms and wood floors praised, but common issues include tired rooms, detached/peeling floors, slow-draining tubs, thin bedding/pillows and older TVs.

Pros:

It was central to what we wanted to do. Walked to breakfast at Jack’s and went to Scatt’s Bakery. Also to Mammoth.

Pros:

El alojamiento es correcto por el precio que se paga

Cons:

La sorpresa fue que, al querer ducharnos, no había agua caliente. Al hacer el check-in, en ningún momento se nos informó de esta situación. Después de un largo viaje por carretera, tener que ducharnos con agua fría no fue precisamente la mejor experiencia.

Non bene
Pros:

Posizione

Cons:

Pulizia, struttura tenuta male e camere comunicanti con la stanza accanto divisa da una porta (si sentiva letteralmente tutto quello che facevano i vicini e non abbiamo chiuso occhio)
Capelli e peli in terra, nella doccia e nel lavandino (ovviamente non nostri)
