"The staff was absolutely kind and accommodating, even making sure we had an easy time getting to our room with our baby. The breakfast was ready to go right on time and kept warm and stocked! It was certainly the nicest option in Turlock and if we visit again, we’ll certainly book the Springhill Marriott again!"

8/10 Good
"Check in was easy as well as parking. The room was a little stuffy when we walked in and it took a little bit to get rid of the lingering odor after we turned the AC on. The bathroom was a different story. It reeked of mold. I opened the window for a little while to make it a little more bearable. The outside of the shower definitely had visible signs of mold, and the floors were not cleaned properly. I noticed quite a few strands of long black curly hair throughout the bathroom floor and in the shower (I have straight red hair). The shower itself also felt very flimsy. The floor kept making a weird popping noise when it was stepped on. The bed was also not that comfortable but overall, we had a bed to sleep in and a place to shower however, don't think I'll be staying here again."
