Tule Elk Preserve

did not eat in the hotel

Stayed 5 days with my wife. This hotel was fantastic. Great location near the fishermen’s wharf and walking distance to tons of great sights. The bed was comfortable room was clean. The hotel lobby was lively in the evening with a bar that seemed busy every day and lots of seating outside with fire tables to gather at. Breakfast was awesome, tons of selection but can be very busy depending on the time you showed up (earlier is better if you don’t want to wait), The fitness gym was very well equipped if you enjoy a workout. There is a Trader Joes and 7/11 very close for any supplies you need. If there was any issue I had it would be my room was on the ground floor, road noise and people in the street talking was a thing. As well if you like a cool room like us the air conditioning was loud. We tried to run the fan to drown out the noise but it only ran when it cooled so you would have to listen to it kick on and off many times in the night. Minor but was noticeable. I would recommend anyone stay when visiting.

The hotel location was premium and the amenities outside were cool. The hotel advertised they had a cafe and coffee shop but they do not. Also the resort fee is an extra cost with in my opinion no benefit, it is not a resort and paying that much to get free marshmallows packs for smores is extreme. There is no pool or resort amenities to warrant the cost addition. Our room was ok but it needs some serious maintenance, the shower handle completely fell off. Our first impression was a cranky, not friendly front desk staff and left a bad taste from the start. The water fill stations were a nice touch but not mentioned at all by the front desk. The gym is in poor maintenance- the mat rack almost fell on my head as it wasn’t properly fastened to the wall. For two days we dealt with weed smells so bad in our room it was like we were the ones smoking it, I mentioned it to the front desk and they could have cared less. For the cost of the hotel would look at other options if we go back.
