Nice location where you can walk around the lake in the morning. Shower was nice; plenty of water coming softly. Nice variety of breakfast items. Freshly brewed coffee although you have to wait a few minutes😄

This hotel exceeded our expectations! The swimming pools and hot tub were a highlight, complemented by the attentive and friendly staff who made sure we always had clean towels. Beyond the amenities, we really enjoyed the social aspect, making new friends during our stay. The breakfast spread was impressive, offering something for everyone. A special shout-out to the front desk team for their outstanding service – they were so welcoming and handled all our requests with ease. We would definitely stay here again Thank you so much for your great hospitality

It was very convenient due to the location of everything around us. Maybe if there was some type of weather stripping around the door to keep the sound out, but you can hear everything outside the door. That was the only problem. Everything else was Great

Love the breakfast it’s always good. My room wasn’t neat. A negative was at 2 o’clock in the morning on Saturday night. There was blaring hip-hop music coming from the parking lot and it was so loud. It woke me up.
View from the fourth floor, they were racing remote control boats on the lake. Pretty cool to watch.

Sub par Hotel

Location to the tourist attractions was good. I knew something was up when I was getting into the room. A big spill of something right at the front door. Ok when I walked into the room there was an odor, then I figured it out that the room ac/fan was not on. Went to the bathroom and the shower floor was disgusting. I even took a picture of it. I kept hearing a sound, it was the toilet running and refilling all night. Good thing we have lots of water in California. The toilet seat was broken and needs to be replaced. The beautiful mirror above the sink was blocking access to the electrical outlet. While not the hotel fault, workers staying at the hotel were noisy at 5:30 am. Will I use Holiday Express again, NO!!!!! I still have travels upcoming so if you’re reading this, this was my experience.

The room was very small for almost $400. Homeless people all around the parking lot made us very nervous to park our vehicle.
