This hotel is very conveniently located in the lodging and retail center of Tulare, just off the 99 freeway at the Prosperity Avenue exit. It is almost surrounded by other lodging establishments (and a quiet office complex), so you may wonder, how do they stand out among multiple adjacent competitors? One winning feature is a unique facility layout, set up as a two-story "line" perpendicular to the freeway and frontage road, so most guests experience a reduced level of traffic noise. This linear footprint also allows for a generously-sized parking lot, which is especially popular with trucks, RV's, and vehicles towing trailers. The layout also shelters the pool area behind the hotel, away from the street and parking lot. The rooms are exceptionally well-designed and decorated, with quality furniture, pleasant decor style, and plenty of room to spread out. My senior citizen parents stayed in a nearby Accessible room, which had a roll-in shower and plenty of other assistive features for limited-mobility guests. The overall facility is kept in great condition, and has clean and well-maintained shared guest amenities. The free breakfast is served in a centrally-located dining area, rather than near the the front desk, which is located at the front end of the facility. There were plenty of staff members available during normal business hours to assist guests and keep the place clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
