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.

I would definitely stay here...

Liked: The staff was really nice! I couldn’t get the ac to go off on the panel. I didn’t know there was a control on the wall for the A/ C or Heat. The staff came right away to our room to show me! There is usually a panel over the Ac and heater controls that was missing. They said they will put one on there!
Disliked: Nothing it was great besides the ac controller panel being missing to tell us to use the control on the wall. I was wondering why there were so many feral cats around at night? I forgot to ask the front desk? I would have fed them if I knew they were there! We came for the Astro and A’s game! At Sutter Health Park. My friend gave me free tickets! Bring your own snacks in your pocket! A Minute Maid icee was 9.00. Churros 8.00, Parking 52.00. We had a great time!
