홀리데이 인 익스프레스 매키노 시티

I booked this hotel because it was one of the only ones in the area not owned by the scary family. It was also pet-friendly and reasonably priced. I checked out photos and reviews beforehand and knew what to expect. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The check-in process was smooth, and though there was a slight problem with one of their systems, they resolved it swiftly. My room was much more spacious than I anticipated. It was a pet-friendly room, so I'm guessing that's why. I was literally able to play fetch with my 20-pound dog in the room, which was great! The room was also very clean. There wasn't any dirt or grime in the bathroom or other places one might expect. The beds were comfortable, and the arrangement of the furniture was neat and smart. I ate in the hotel lobby for breakfast during both mornings of our stay and was satisfied with the offerings. The pancake machine was my favorite! I'd never seen anything like it. Perhaps it was because my expectations for a hotel continental breakfast are generally low, but the pancakes were light, buttery and really tasty! Now, the only piece of crit I have to share is that the walls are unbelievably thin. I could hear everything, from one neighbor's coughing fit which seemed to last an unusually long time to conversations between people in other rooms to footsteps that sounded like avalanches. My pup gets startled easily by sounds, so this proved to be a bit of a challenge, but everything was okay in the end. Oh, I also appreciated the hotel's distance from the ferry. It was about a twenty-minute walk from our door to the ferry, so there was no need to park in any of the paid lots. Overall, the hotel is a great, comfortable budget option, and I would recommend it.
