Our room smells like pee and we didn’t know where it was coming from than my husband had turned off the AC but we got hot so he turned it back and and the whole room smelled like pee, we believe someone pee in the AC unit and that’s why it smells so badly, the breakfast was excellent exactly for a hotel, the inside was very nice and clean overall a nice hotel oh and our girls went swimming which was nice to do the pool was a good size, we got to our room and the blow dryer didn’t work so we had to air dry our hair, no one was at the front desk we called a few times to complain about the blow dryer not working, and to tell them our room smelled like pee no one picked so we had to sleep in a smelling peeing room.

This property is about 35 minutes from Pinnacles National Park, our main reason for staying here. The hotel looks newly renovated and the room is clean, with a comfortable bed. We found a few dining options right in downtown Hollister; we really enjoyed Cosmos Bar and Grill! Also appreciate the free breakfast buffet at the hotel and the complimentary 24 hour coffee:tea station.

Disappointing Stay with Poor Service

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had in a long time, and I would never stay here again. We were in town for a wedding and requested to check in just one hour early, as the ceremony started at 4 p.m. and we wouldn’t return until after midnight. Despite explaining the situation, the front desk told us they couldn’t accommodate the early check-in. My husband and I ended up changing in the public restroom. To make matters worse, I sat in the lobby and watched several other guests check in early and be given rooms, which was incredibly frustrating. When we finally checked in after midnight, no one explained how the “eco-friendly” lights and TV worked. We thought they were broken and gave up trying to figure it out. We went straight to sleep and checked out first thing in the morning. Overall, the lack of communication, inconsistency in service, and poor guest experience made this a regrettable stay.

Someone sat outside my room and smoked cigarettes not a pleasant experience. I was a single female and did not want to be on the bottom floor, but evidently sold out.
