California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good
"Table in room was wobbly (had to be careful not to spill my drink on myself when at the table), phone in room was not working (in case I needed to reach out to office personnel), remote to A/C unit did not work (mo battery cover..tape used to hold batteries in place), no microwave or coffee maker in room, no complimentary toiletries provided (only 2 sm bottles of shampoo…no conditioner or body wash), Images on website are misleading…did not feel safe at this establishment."
