我們自駕,從SF到death valley,中間在這裏入住。路上會路過很長一段養牛的區域,味道比較大,我們還擔心酒店是不是也會有牛屎味,很慶幸到了以後沒有。酒店環境比想象中好,很乾凈,甚至比幾千元住的deanth valley inn的床舒服,也很安靜。我們抵達時候已經是半夜,有一個服務人員一直在等我們checkin,很nice。包早餐,但是我們沒吃,選擇去了附近的Costco買熱狗,順便加油買麪包牛奶,畢竟進入death valley就沒有什麼吃的了。很推薦作為中途停靠點入住。
訪訪客Location, cleanliness & facility good/clean. Property description (at the time we booked in April 2025 for July 2025 stay) ”valley view.” No valley view that we could see from our room or anywhere on the property. There is no front desk or live check-in, you have to know to check a chalkboard on the side of what looks like the office. Communication w/the property is to be by text only. We reserved a cabin with 1 queen / 2 twin beds, what we got was 1 queen & a sofa bed (horrible sleep as expected which is why we wanted the two twins). We questioned the reservation (via text) and were told we got what was reserved. After sending a screenshot of our reservation the reply text was ”you can stop by the office if you want”). As we got out of the car the daughter was heard saying ”WELL, I guess we have to DEAL WITH THIS now.” It went downhill from there. We were told it was Trip.com fault (it was not, we confirmed w/Trip.com). Then the manager wanted to argue about why we wouldn't want to sleep on a sofa bed (does it matter? it's not what we reserved) and called one guest ”Hon” repeatedly / condescendingly until asked not to - the daughter jumped in at that point with an escalated attitude. The Manager insisted it was trip.com fault and then said ”we don't even offer twin beds.” So, room was misrepresented to begin with. UNFORTUNATELY, and they knew it, ALL rooms in the area were sold out & we were there for a scheduled event, we had no choice but to stay. AGAIN THIS IS NOT TRIP.COM FAULT, this is the property fault. BE AWARE that all the restaurants have posted hours on their website but may no be accurate, plan to check the location early as they post handwritten signs indicating the current day hours. On a weekend they were closed up before 5pm (some at 3pm), had to travel several towns over to eat. Good idea to bring dinner type food with you just in case. BASSETT'S a good place to eat, cafe w/good food/good prices, small store & gas pump. Dos Hermanos in Sierraville also good. Both several miles away from Yuba River Inn but worth the drive.
