I've stayed here several times over the past couple of years whenever I've had to break up the drive between LA and the SF Bay area, but after this last trip I'll bite the bullet and pay more for the Best Western that's nearby. The clerk who checked me in was fine -- friendly and efficient, but I was a bit concerned when she asked me if I wanted to check out the room first since they've been getting complaints about the air conditioning not working. July in the central valley is NOT when you want to lose your A/C! She also said their wireless internet performance has been getting sketchy, too. That she had to make apologies for 2 things before I even checked in, things that had never been an issue in my previous stays, definitely was cause for concern.
The good news is that the A/C in the room worked fine, as did the internet access. The bad news, though, is that I woke up in the morning to find that I couldn't get any hot water from the shower, and worse, that I'd been munched on by bed bugs during the night!
