| - This is a mixed review and i had thoughts either way that would change the rating between a 1 and a 4, so I decided to break it down as follows.
1. First impressions. 4 stars. This location is right off the freeway, has plenty of parking and is located in an area with several restaurants and is also nearby the race track nothing overly fancy, but just fine business people.
2.Check in and greeting 4 stars. My company pre paid for 3 of us and everything was in order and we didnt have any problems.
- Odd moment 1 star. The person at the front desk was nice checking 3 of us in to 3 different rooms, but after i unloaded my luggage from my car and heading back to park, she said something along the lines of " make sure your coworker brings the trolly back" . uh what ? one of my guys used he luggage cart to bring things to his room.. and if he doesnt return it the 30 feet to the lobby.. this is my problem? . eh whatever. . but there is a bonus of fresh, slightly burned cookies between 5 an 6.
3. Getting settled in. 2 stars The room was large, 2 queen beds, with a kitchenette, fridge, microwave, cookware etc. with a view of the pool.. Cool! .. well.. found dust covering the top of the fridge, dust on the microwave, and a hair in the tub.. kinda gross, but otherwise looked clean.. I also opened the freezer to grab the ice bucket and found a partially used cocktail.. possibly from the maid or the previous visitor see pics.
4. sleep, chill time, etc. 3 stars the beds were comfy and the sheets looked clean, the noise level was average, nothing amazing, nothing bad. just about right..
Odd grosser note Negative 4 stars .. at some point i knocked my glasses off the night stand and they fell behind, so i moved the nightstand and found a pile of dust bunnies, a collection of pens, a bottle cap, and an empty bag of beef jerky.. wtf, gross. this must be on the once a year schedule to be cleaned. .. i left the items as found, less my glasses.. see pic.
5. The breakfast... after day 5. 1.5 stars . kill me. its the exact same thing over, and over and over. and no coffee 4 out of 5 times. I informed the lady running the breakfast bar that the coffee and she looked up and said " coffeeeee" ?? and walked away... weird.. i assume she was making more coffee? i'll never know. The fried eggs with black pepper were so so the first day and i grew to loathe these things day after day... the round sausage patties were so so as well.. . i had some regret after day 1, but i was able to work through the discomfort to try again the next day. The toaster seems to have 2 settings .."carbonized black" and "raw" .. i couldnt' seem to cook a bagel right to save my life. The fruit was gross, the oranges were small, bruised and a day from rot, I did see some canned fruit salad, but i didnt want to chance it. There was oatmeal available, but eh.. not feeling it, I think the only safe bet was cereal and boxed milk or yogurt. .. Please for the love of god change the menu every other day or something. .. I did muster the courage to try the waffle maker with the pre poured batter .. it was ok. The lady running the breakfast seemed like she was trying, but not doin so hot.
