Why Comfort Suites In Bakersfield is a Great Choice When Traveling

Comfy & Quiet Comfort Suites Bakersfield

Dear Polite Travelers,

We needed a hotel stay near highways 58 and 99 in California. Luckily, we found Comfort Suites in that exact spot for a good rate. Since it’s so near a major junction, it was surprisingly quiet and very comfortable.

Basic in appearance, this hotel offers quite a bit for the money. For one, the rooms are large and well-equipped with the typical microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. But more importantly, it was spacious, clean...and quiet.

The hotel itself was adequate with a pool, hot tub, outdoor seating area, breakfast room, and fitness center. The lobby was small but, again, adequate. The real star here was the breakfast. For one, it’s the only place I’ve visited that provided gloves for our protection while using the buffet serving utensils. Although, most did not use them or wear masks in the breakfast room. Grrr... At least we did.

Breakfast was typical with potatoes, sausage, and eggs, but especially yummy due to the full-size yogurt and better than average pastry choices.

Will We Return?

Oh yeah! That’s if we are on the road south, which just maybe later this year. If all goes well, we just may make another visit to Palm Springs in early winter. Can’t wait to share it with you, my fellow polite traveler.

Pluses & Minuses of The Hyatt House Vacaville

Beautiful But Needs Adjustments to its Accessible Rooms My Dear Polite Travelers I recently read about a new Hyatt House and since I needed a short brain-tidy-vaca near my home base in Davis, CA, I ventured twenty miles west to the sprawling city of Vacaville, the shopping mecca of our general area. The Lobby/Bar/Restaurant Walking into the lobby, I noted calming tones, striking art, décor, and welcoming faces. The registration staff was delightful and efficient. The attractive bar and eating area are tastefully decorated and have ample seating areas. In fact, the entire area was so lovely that I brought many of those decorating ideas home with me. The restaurant’s menu was limited and similar to what is typically found at bars: hamburgers, pizzas… etc. I ordered a hamburger which was delivered overcooked. Grr… Accessible Room 133 First off, this is a gorgeous room filled with outstanding artwork. It includes a kitchenette, small ...

Arizona: The Grand Canyon

Four Hours Visiting The Grand Canyon Updated 4/2021 I have an idea why the Grand Canyon is called “Grand”. I theorize it’s because “Awesome Canyon” sounds more like stoner talk. Joking aside, it is quite awesome and grand. Recently, I was lucky enough to have a few hours to gaze wide-eyed at our big hole in the ground. Since we (hubby & I) had only four precious hours, please follow along with what I found most important to see. Note : Follow CDC and all park guidelines when visiting. Wear a mask and social distance. First Stop The first place to stop for those with limited time would be the visitor’s center. Don’t worry about missing it. There are plenty of signs pointing the way. There, we found information offering park rangers, giant exhibits (displaying the entire canyon, trip planners, canyon-related history, and science), and a movie theater...

I expected more from the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country Hotel

My Dear Polite Travelers, Our first stay in a Hyatt was less than stellar. In fact, it’s more of a mixed bag of frustration and comfort. The hotel was beautiful, don’t get me wrong. It was just … incomplete. Really? Room #281 is considered accessible ? We booked an accessible room due to my hubby’s back issue—a typical old-person problem. Typically, an accessible room would naturally have a shower with ease of entry. In room #281? Nope. Getting into a tub requires some dexterity that a mobility-challenged person may not have. This is a major problem that should be addressed. I hope Hyatt is listening. Other than that oversight, there were no towel bars in the bathroom — strange. Plus, it would have been logical if there was at least one hook for clothing/robe in the bathroom as well. And, speaking of robes, robes are an accessory in these rooms. There were none. In fact, I had to call down f...
