I chose the Ayres Hotel Redlands because our family needed to stay in the foothills overnight before picking our son up from a mountain camp. I decided on Ayres because, as of this writing, it was ranked 1 of 9 Redlands properties and the price was right.
The 80% I liked:
* option to extend (for $40) checkout until 4 pm
* clean property with friendly staff
* comfortable room with nice TV
The 20% I didn't:
* no custom-made omelettes on weekends. This was a real bummer because I thought the rest of the food was very disappointing, esp given the build-up the other reviews gave it. In my case, the eggs were burnt, the sausage was flaccid (bacon would have been a much better option) and the muffins were tasteless. Coffee was watered down, no cream or whole milk available.
* we paid for our 4 pm extension up front, but our keys were invalidated at 12 pm. This creates a problem when you're standing at your hotel room door, cold and wet, with two six-year-olds in swimsuits and towels! Turns out the front desk staff didn't key our card correctly. When you're paying $40 for the privilege, I say make sure you key it right!
I should say that after driving through Redlands, this was definitely the most attractive property we saw. Just go in with 2-star expectations and you'll find them exceeded.
