It’s friendly

Nothing in specific

My first priority was safety. First time in 50 yrs I traveled alone. I was very nervous as an older female traveler. Downtown does not have a good reputation. It's an old military compound that was converted into a huge hotel. Many military folks are there. My daughter had gone w a clogging convention & she loved it. So did I. The rooms were older, but beautifully designed. Nice presentation of the bed & towels. Good bedside lighting. Plug-ins for your electronics (but not high speed). Two wastebaskets, great desk. I slept like a baby. Also tons of parking & an "Officers Club Restaurant" that served scrambled eggs, sausage, make your own waffles, toast, cereal, great coffee & juices. Outdoor & indoor seating. Lovely. I will only stay there from now on.

Some of the paint is wearing in the bathroom. But it was clean & shower great.

The historic location & the ghosts. The rooms are clean. Nice landscaping and some shade. The area is quiet, traffic is far enough away you don't hear it. Ample parking but you'll want to drive to breakfast.

The breakfast offerings were limited Wed. and meh but was good last Tuesday. Pool is cold and not clean, the hot tub doesn't work. The coffee pot wouldn't shut off and I had to unplug it. Having to use a card key to get in the building when carrying a bunch of stuff and only having seconds before the door closes is annoying.

Was there for a volleyball tourney at Cal Sports Expo at McClellan. Facility was nearby and relatively clean, though a bit run down.

We were supposed to have 2 queen beds but they were full sizes. Not cool. Also, the jacuzzi was out of order and the pool towels were more like rags. We were originally a family of 4 when I booked (hence the need for 2 queens, which is more expensive) but there were only towels for 2 people. Breakfast was convenient but the offerings felt like prepackaged foods that were just heated up. Eggs were gross. No bacon. There were sausage patties but those are too processed.
