He estado en hoteles de la misma cadena y nunca me había ido tan mal. Empecemos por lo bueno, una buena ubicación a dos horas de Yosemite, con gasolinera y algunos lugares cercanos para comer, el desayuno que sirven es bastante abundante y variado por lo que acá no hay problema todo bien. Ahora los puntos que definitivamente deben mejorar, las instalaciones en general bastantes sucias, las paredes manchadas, los cuartos con señales de desgaste donde se nota que no se han preocupado por mantener el hotel, las camas si eran cómodas, pero el cuarto tenía ruidos por todos lados, encender el aire acondicionado era tener un ruido espantoso en el cuarto y con el calor de julio tuvimos que decidir entre dormir con ruido o dormir con calor, optamos por dormir con calor ya que el ruido del aire acondicionado era aterrador, el refrigerador también hacía demasiado ruido por lo que tuvimos que desconectarlo para evitar, ir al baño y encender la luz ni que decir ya que el extractor de olores hacia un ruido horrible (normalmente en otros hoteles siempre hay dos interruptores, uno para la luz y otro para el extractor) pero acá si hacía mucho ruido, al caminar por el cuarto se sentían como agujeros en el piso que se cubrían con la alfombra, la TV estaba como asegurado con un tubo y al pasar frente a la TV sonaba feo y vibraba. El cuarto tenía un olor a humedad y los dos días que estuvimos nos apareció chinches del campo (insecto inofensivo para el humano, no es la chinche tradicional).

The Motel and Room from Hell!

We were placed in an accessible room that had not been prepared for us. This room should never have been occupied, the carpet in the room was soaking wet from runoff from the shower. There was no phone, chair, coffee maker, or clock. How folks would contact anyone if we had a problem was unknown. As I usually do, I placed my worn underware on the floor by where cloths are hung, they were soaking wet the next morning. There were no clathes hangers for handing trousers, only clip hangers, and if one used these for trousers, the trousers would have been wet. No effort was made on our behalf, although, we were offered a change of rooms but by then we were unpacked and only staying one more night. We reported the problems but except for being allowed to take the desk chair from the lobby, which I had to lift over the bed to get it to the desk, no change. This room should never be rented until the entire bathrooom and shower is fixed so the water from the shower doesn't flow onto the carpet in the room.

In Ridgecrest, there was easy access to the room. In Artesia, access to the room wasn’t easy, and the breakfast was lousy - complete with frozen waffles and sloppy, soupy oatmeal. In Merced, the door lock on the room was broken. Front desk staff had to accompany each time my wife returned to the room in order to unlock it with a master key.
