Needs some TLC
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/15/05
I travel every week week for my job, so I know hotels very well. I've stayed at the Oxford Suites in Chico, CA, which I liked very much, so I booked a room for my family and I while we were traveling last week. Let's just stay, we won't be back. The hotel staff seemed nice enough, and generally the hotel was decent, and the included buffet breakfast was nice, however, there was an awful smell in the hallway corridors on more than one floor. It smelled like the carpet had suffered water damage, and a lot of it. We couldn't wait to make it to our room since the odor was so strong. The room was okay, but in desperate need of an update. If ownership puts some money into this property, gives it new carpet (and pad) throughout the hotel, and a fresh splash of paint, we'd consider going back, but the way it stands right now, that will be our only stay.
