"Valley Inn review Relatively quiet stay the occasional train made quite a racket. The bathroom was clean, but the shower curtain was not long enough to keep water in the shower and the floor got soaked. There’s no bathmat. I had to use an extra towel which I had to request from housekeeping. There is an ashtray in the room. Not sure why if it’s a non-smoking room. There is no trashcan in the bathroom only one by the door. The air-conditioning and heat was adequate. The bed is a little lumpy and...

Rodeway Inn Near University-Gateway to Yosemite

8/10 Good

"The stay overall was good. AC worked great so I was extremely happy about that. It's obviously an older hotel so it needs some upgrades but overall it was bad at all especially for the price. The only thing was that I didn't like that the housekeeper came knocking at my door twice within 10 minutes. Check out was at 11, I was out the door at 11:20, like chill out."
