Scott R, Lemoore, CA

Overall, a good place to stay the night if it's a stop on a road trip, but you're not really close to anything of walking distance. Check-in was flawless and the complimentary breakfast was a continental breakfast as advertised. Bagels, fresh fruit, cereal and waffles. It works for me.

Liked: Close to boat ramp on Sacramento River.
Disliked: No room to park truck with boat trailer. Lack of restaurants within walking distance.

Awful disgusting, dirty, and rude...

Liked: This place is disgusting. The room was dirty. There’s no cups no coffee maker no ice they’re cheap and the room had stains all over the walls. Then they did not return my deposit and stated that I had a make up stain on the pillow and charged me $50 for it. I will never stay here again and I’m filing a report against them. This place is trash, absolute trash.
Disliked: I didn’t like anything about the property. It’s dirty. It’s not maintained. They aren’t very customer service friendly. They don’t even have basic necessities..

Satisfactory Stay Definitely Needs Tons...

Liked: I like how clean the room was. Soaking in the bathtub was the highlight of my stay. The bed was comfortable and inviting.
Disliked: I didn't like the breakfast it was like eating at a homeless shelter. You must bring back the waffles. The remote in the room needed immediate replacement among other broken appliances. The management must do a better job making sure everything works before charging such a high deposit. Too many homeless and drug addicts walking the property didn't feel safe. Management needs to be replaced with people that actually want to work there and satisfy their clients,not just to receive a paycheck.
