We came from another state for a short trip to Yosemite National Park. Since our flight to SFO arrived late, we called the hotel on the day of check-in to inform them that we would arrive late. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, the staff continued to be kind and accommodating. The hotel, including the guest room, was very clean. Although our stay was short, it was very comfortable. Thank you!

Room seemed fine at first glance but carpet outside bathroom was soaking wet so had to change rooms. In new room, smoke detector wasn’t actually on, no light and hanging from the wall. Lights flickered on like an old laundromat. Heat wouldn’t turn off at temp set, had to manually get up through the night to turn it on and off. Room phone didn’t work at all. No USB charging ports.

This is a fantastic hotel. We stayed here twice in a month. The team at the front desk are outstanding. Extremely friendly, helpful, very personable. Remembered our names every time we came and went. The hotel is very clean, especially our rooms. I have high cleaning standards and they exceeded my expectations. The breakfast is nothing fancy, but many choices. And all good. My only caution is the hotel is in a triangle of busy freeway, and streets. If you are a light sleeper, I would bring ear plugs. For us normal sleepers, it didn’t keep us up. The rooms are sound proofed and did a great job of blocking out as much noise as possible.

I was awakened on 2 mornings at 4am by a chirping fire alarm in my room. They promised to discount my stay but didn’t. I ask mgr to call me—he didn’t. I emailed general mgr—no response. They are willing to accept poor reviews rather than provide good customer service or keep their word.

Hello My flight was delayed 12 hours. Called ahead to notify I would not need the room and if I could be refunded. Plenty of time to re-sell the room. Three days later Holiday Inn notified me I would not get a refund of my money. $200. I was even willing to take a credit for my next stay. Why do companies steal from people. Disappointed.

A decent hotel, a little bit expensive (more than $200) considering its conditions. It’s a old hotel, but clean, all staff are nice, continental breakfast with scrambled egg and turkey bacon. Quiet, if the guest on upper floor doesn’t walk around all the time…Overall is good for a short stay.
