"We drive from halfway up BC Canada down to San Diego and back up again. We stayed at some 4 star hotels and other Fairfields. This was the best all around hotel for comfort, service, cleanliness, convenient location, ease of finding it, free parking, free breakfast selection and taste. There's 24hr guest laundry access (my only complaint is that they need to have the washing machine serviced to clean it as it has a musty smell). The beds were incredibly comfortable. It's within walking distance...

"We arrived the day the area experienced a tornado. There was no power at the property when we arrived so there was no way to reach the property to get any sort of status update. We ended up going to another hotel for the night. We were able to check in the following day. Overall, the property was clean, room was large, and parking was free. My only gripe was that no refund for the first night was even offered or suggested until I asked for it even though I mentioned I had to get another hotel...

"This place is absolutely amazing. Cabin 9 has a GIANT redwood right on its porch facing the river behind the property. On the second day I went down the stairs in the back where a large section is dry riverbed along the running water. I brought one of lightweight sitting chairs with me, planted it in the rocks, and built a footrest out of some of the larger ones. I proceeded to stare at clouds through the tops of giant trees for three hours before I knew it. That night we picked up a cord of...
