“2nd time and very different.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 2, 2012

i been to this hotel a few time when it was Rodeway Inn...and it wasnt bad at all...price was good,rooms clean,comfortable and cozy.I was here again under new management and new name.When i first checked it out online( TripAdvisor),i was wondering why the management kept sending apology emails after some reviews...but since i been here before,i didn't pay it no mind.When i went to check in,the lady was very kind and pleasant and got my room quickly. Now i have stayed at this chain before in different cities.These rooms don't look nothing like the ones that i expected...i knew the size of the room would be much smaller than the ones that you typically find in this chain...no problem.the look of it lost the comfortable and cozy appeal that you or i got when it was the Rodeway Inn...now having hard wood floors and doesn't have the warmth that you would typically feel....which was a shock.the price was higher than i expected also from a little over 50 USD to now a little over 70 USD....

Overall i think the rooms should have stayed the same and the price isn't bad but i personally don't feel it is worth the amount that this hotel NOW charges. So now my review sadly enough has dropped and i think that i will be looking for other hotels to stay,when i am in Visalia.

“not liked”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2012

Good location, in the centre of a small city named Visalia. Good if you want to go to visit Sequoia National Park by car ( about 45 minutes ). Not expensive, so I'm not disapointed about the price , I just want to prevent another travellers

Lies: Please, don't say that "Continental Breakfast is included " !!! They don't have a place for guest to have breakfast, the only thing they have it's on the same reception, a disgusting coffe and some pastries ( if you're lucky and they are not already finished, like it happened to me ). And also I booked the room because it was annonced as a "smoking room", but when we arrived there, it was not possible , because she said ( the young girl at the front desk ) that: we only have a few rooms for smoking people and I've already gave them to other people who has arrived sooner". We arrived at 5pm, it was not so late, but anyway, then reservation it serves at what ??? And she was not very helpful, I asked how to go to the centre, and she only asked "we are at the centre" ( ok, I know, but I have to go right or left for restaurants, for example? I don't know the city !!! )

“Frustrating”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 3, 2012

Front desk staff seemed nice enough when checking in. Once in the room (1 of only 2 on the ground floor) there was a strange smell, somewhere between cleaning products and dirty nappy(diaper)? The place seemed clean enough & the shower was one of the better I have had. The WiFi was rubbish, it kept dropping out every 3-7 min, which was so frustrating.
The person behind the desk at night was rude when I asked for a face washer ( there was only one in the room & three towels) Breakfast was a bit of a joke, coffee and a choice of three different packaged pastries, ooh and some O.J.
The place seemed to be run down and not really taken care of, doesn't seem American owned.
I would drive for another hour before I stayed here again.

“recent stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2012

I made a point of taking a "virtual tour" of this motel before I made our reservations. The virtual tour is very deceptive. Expecting a modern and clean motel we were very disappointed when we arrived to find it somewhat run down, rooms totally unlike the virtual tour, shabby and without amenities expected. One of the double beds was precariously perched on a single bed boxspring. There was a constant sewer odor emanating from the bathtub drain. We purposely booked this motel because it advertised a continental breakfast - what a joke - coffee & packaged pastries!!! We ended up having to go out for breakfast which cost us over $50.00/day for 5 of us. I was very embarassed as I had booked my sister and brother-in-law from Canada a room as well. It should be against the law for motels to show a virtual tour of a decent motel and when guests arrive find totally unacceptable accomodations. The Visalia Chamber of Commerce should be ashamed to list this motel in their publication. The only acceptable thing about this whole stay was the friendly and helpful daytime employee.

Room Tip: do not rely on their Virtual Tour
