Holland Inn and Suites
It was okay, but it had a stale kind of smell. But overall, not bad for the price

Sentral Gaslamp Quarter
The location was great, and the room size was great. Has a kitchen and a full-size refrigerator. Does not have a pool, maybe a problem in the summer.

The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert
Beautiful property, very clean. Food at the restaurants were great. Large property which was very spread out. For my older mom, we figured out we could call have get a golf cart pick up to the main pool and restaurants. This wasn’t communicated at check in but we asked.

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco
Friendly staff. We stayed on the 2nd floor and heard our 3rd floor neighbors. We woke up one morning and the echoes of their footsteps upstairs sounded like they were physically inside our room. Filtered water stations are super convenient!
