Funzionale
Pros:

La posizione per visitare il sequoia e la colazione inclusa

Cons:

Eravamo in 5 ma c’erano due letti matrimoniali. Per noi non è stato un problema viaggiando con due bimbi di 8 e 9 anni che hanno dormito nel lettone con me. Per 5 adulti avrebbe potuto essere un problema

Ci aspettavano di meglio
Pros:

Personale gentile e disponibile.
Camera comoda

Cons:

L'hotel era un po' vecchio. La moquette nel corridoio e nell'ascensore era davvero sporchissima.
La colazione non male ma poca scelta.
In più alla reception hanno fatto confusione con gli addebiti sulla carta di credito quindi abbiamo dovuto ricontattarli (hanno comunque risposto velocemente)
Per il prezzo pagato ci aspettavano qualcosa di meglio

La chambre n’était pas au niveau, heureusement que nous y avons dormi qu’une nuit
Cons:

La climatisation faisait énormément de bruit anormal nous avons dû l’éteindre pour dormir, nous avons eu très chaud. Le matelas avait des bosses et des creux , réellement très inconfortable.
Nous étions 4 mais nous n’avions que 3 serviettes.
Pas même un verre en plastique ou carton dans la chambre pour pouvoir prendre un médicament ou se brosser les dents.
J’ai signalé tout cela le matin à la réception, on ne m’a même pas proposé un geste commercial.

Si poteva fare
Cons:

Al nostro arrivo nella camera c’era un forte odore di fumo. Vista l’ora tarda ed il dover stare solo una notte, non abbiamo detto nulla. Consigliamo sicuramente maggior attenzione.
