For me, its all about the guest room, and this hotel hits the nail on the head. Clean, quiet, adequately modern, and comfortable bed. Location is right next to convention center and a very short walk to downtown, with lots of quaint restraunts. My wife and I stayed for three days while visiting family and we couldn't be happier with our stay. We've stayed at most of the other chain hotels in Visalia, and this property ranks at the top. Only suggestions: 1) breakfast buffet was free with my Marriott Gold status, but it is nothing special. It would be over-priced at $16 per person for the usual scrambbled eggs, bacon, cereal, and fruit. 2) No electric vehicle charging station. 3) the "premium" wifi was very slow and seemed bogged down. One more plus: Staff at front desk and restaurant were very friendly.
