Had a one night stay here on my way to Yosemite. Overall I was pretty happy, as an ambassador staying here, post COVID as I felt it was a full service hotel, in a "random" location that was pretty cheap for a night's stay:
  • Upgraded to a reasonable size suite pre-arrival, which had a dining table, microwave and separate living room, right next to the concierge floor
  • Bathroom had a tub
  • Concierge lounge is open 7 days a week, and whilst it appears fairly brand standard - every day (listed on a board near the door) there is a variety of different "specials" for both breakfast and dinner
  • Free parking right next to the hotel - also seemed to be a free airport shuttle that I didn't need
Two notes:
1. The hotel area is nice during the day (has an improved river bank within one mile), but there were a few homeless people around later in the day. We ate nearby at a cinema complex that had a few good restaurants and was a 2 minute drive / 10 minute walk away
2. The full hotel dining room breakfast (I was travelling with others who ate here) wasn't a buffet, perhaps they do this only when busy for a conference, so was al-la-carte only
