The stay was ok other than not having the two rooms that I booked due to the adjoin room not being cleaned so four of us had to stay in one room since BW was booked solid. 1 - Bed 1- Couch (fold out bed) springy

-Location: Corner of HWY99 & E Yosemite Ave/Rte 120. This provides prompt access to/from major routes.

One drawback is that it is located on an avenue separated by a median which requires no left hand turn entry/exit. One is required to pass to the next intersection and perform a legal U-turn, which is allowed.

Gas stations, fast food, restaurants, and shopping are all nearby, accessible by foot or car.

-Arrival: There is one driveway in/out of the property, which can be accessed from E Yosemite Avenue. It is located immediately after the yellow fire hydrant.

There is very minimal guest parking near the front office, but alternatively, there's ample employee only parking right by the entry.

-Check in: Staff was polite, however, stopped the check in process when an employee came to the desk and interrupted, requesting their paycheck.

Instead of finishing with the customer, staff took care of staff, even when there was a problem finding the paycheck, causing further delays.

-Parking: this is a courtyard style square building with parking surrounding it, yet it is limited in some areas around the building. If you're towing or driving something big, there's not a good deal of space for you to navigate if you need to get around. There were several times I could hear someone's backup alert beeping repeatedly on and off whilst they tried to pull forward and back, forward and back, trying to get around the lot.

-Elevator: To my knowledge, there is one single elevator car to handle three floors of rooms for guests, maid staff, and maintenance.

-Maid service: I did not take advantage of this service. The room, however, appeared clean upon arrival.

-Security: Although there are some locked (keycard) exterior entrances which I noticed on one corner of the building, I failed to see why since there are open air breezeways with access from the parking lot and the majority of rooms seem to have exterior, unsecured entrances.

In addition, I spotted secured entrances left propped ajar several times during my stay with no one in sight. This seemed to defeat the purpose.

Parking lot is unsecured.

-Noise: Due to the exterior entrances and breezeways, the noise from vehicles simply driving and revving, as well as the nearby railway (which runs day and night), the sounds bounce off the structure interior and exterior and reverberate day and night.

There is also a large adjacent lot in which eighteen wheel trucks park out overnight and leave their engines running whilst the drivers sleep. I could hear their engines idling while wearing earplugs and having the A/C in my room running which tells me the construction quality of the hotel is extremely poor.

-The Room: I booked a suite with a king bed, sofa bed, easy chair, computer desk and chair, coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. All were clean and the furniture was comfortable. The room was of good size. I was in room 336 and reserved for five nights.

There was a sizable gap underneath the room entry door.

One bar of soap was provided for the room which one must pass back and forth between shower and sink, as needed.

No shampoo or conditioner was provided, but there was body lotion and two packets of alcohol free moisturizing makeup remover wipes. Not really sure what to do with that information. Maybe they're really concerned about dry skin? Lol.

The toilet ran intermittently.

The sleeping area and living area were separated by a vertical half wall.

There were two televisions, one in the bed area, another in the living area. This was nice since some hotels skimp on this and one cannot view the single television from either the sleeping area or living area. Not an issue here.

-Pet Policy: Pets were allowed here. And barking could be heard.

-Pool: It was open during the time booked. Other guests appeared to enjoy it greatly. My teen nephew visited me and went down to the pool briefly and had no complaints.

-Free Breakfast: I did not take advantage of the free breakfast. Frankly, I have no idea where I would have gone for that. During check in, one walks into a small lobby with a few chairs and is blocked from going any further by the front desk. So that's just basically a check-in room, if you will. There's no access to the rest of the hotel from there.

The gentleman behind the counter didn't mention the free breakfast which was advertised on the website (Orbitz) as well as the hotel website.

The only map I was shown of the facility was whipped out briefly to identify for me my current location, the elevator, and my room destination.

So, the breakfast location would've been guesswork. Maybe there's banana trees on the property.

-Cost: I was billed $141.59/avg per night via Orbitz. It wasn't worth it for me primarily based on the extreme noise of this location which equals lack of a restful stay.
