"Room was very clean and spacious"

Hotel Piccadilly

8/10 Good

"The room was large, clean, and well-furnished, check in and out was convenient, and the breakfast was very good. It was hard to find a good alternate place to eat nearby."

Hourglass Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful with making the check in very easy . Room was clean and well organized."

AutoCamp Sequoia

8/10 Good

"The Airstream was clean and nicely decorated. It had all that you needed for a comfy stay. Few small issues… a few of the window screens were torn which made it difficult to leave windows open at night. Two of them were fine and we kept them open, but one of the two window would not latch to stay open and would collapse at times. The curtains above our bed were torn which is tasteless for the price charged. Lastly, there was a gap as you closed the door that made you think insects would crawl in. FYI, I did not see any in our room. But overall, I loved the concept. Staff were friendly and helpful and service and food was great."
