didn't bother with breakfast because Fox news was on, which seemed hostile, esp in CA No place to separate recyclables in the room. I would never stay at this place again. I want to check in with a real person who knows the property and the area, not someone on a screen who doesn't know anything about the property and is miles an miles, perhaps a continent away. There's a point when a business tries to squeeze so much out of you while getting rid of so many people (like a present human being desk clerk), that you just have to say no. I've already told people not to stay here. The Fox news said it all.

My first experience with kiosk check in. Very odd in that there was someone at the desk not helping anyone. when almost done that person did check in another guest ??? I'm sure my opinion isn't going to change anything but to have to use a kiosk at a hotel ( the HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY) just seems odd and very impersonal.

This was less expensive than other hotels in the area. There were several construction areas for EV charging. There was a strong smell of either steer manure in the planters or sewer construction (presumably temporary). When leaving, the door had to be closed about 4 times to confirm it locked (it pushed open otherwise). The TV was readily fixed. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The shower worked well. The waffles were the best. Overall a good stay!
