Maybe the most uncomfortable pillows I’ve ever used. My entire group felt the same. The hot tub was also…lukewarm. Not hot.

I'll never stay here again!!
I tried to get an early check-in but the staff was rude and said through there Ring doorbell that just come back at 3pm. There was hardly any cars there and the hotel looked empty. They could have accommodated and I was willing to pay an extra fee for early check-in. My wife has Parkinson's disease and also had a stroke a few years ago and just wanted to take a nap. I will never stay there again!!

Our stay was quiet and restful, and parking was easy. Only drawbacks were that cleaning staff left dirty sheets outside our room overnight. Also building is old, our room had an odor from the pipes.

Couldn't find help
Stay was fine. I was very bothered that I was called about 7pm of check in day and told I had to arrive by 11. Also tried to call office and the room phone was dead. Used my cell and no one picked up. I called 8 times over an hour span before anyone answered.

Room was good and overall everything went well , my complaint is more about the front desk who asked for paperwork regarding my service animal and in the state of california this is actually illegal to do so the ada act protects people with disabilities from this , i have my pet cards but before the trip i called and they assured me i would not need my id card so i went without it however upon arrival they were insisted on it , so they left me with the option of paying for my pet . Under the ADA, hotels can't require documentation for service dogs.
