This is the big hotel for Modesto, next to the convention center and adjacent to the nice downtown…read morearea. Parking is across the street in a municipal structure. You save $1 by having it as part of your hotel stay. There's a sky bridge on the 3rd floor which helps you avoid the street, which is quite busy during daylight and without any cars at night. I've stayed here twice. The rooms are comfortable and the furniture is in good condition. There's lots of water pressure and the bathrooms are clean. Unfortunately, I had problems with my room's AC on both stays. The first time I was on the hot side of the building and thought it might have been that but it did not get better once the sun went down. Maintenance came, checked the temp and acknowledged the warmth, said they could not do anything and left. On my second stay, the guy thought it might be the curtains blocking the airflow so he moved them and left. It never cooled down. I called downstairs, they brought me a key to another room, and I packed up and moved myself to another room. The next room was definitely an improvement but still not as cool as I like. A bit of a hassle but luckily I wasn't in a rush. Kudos to the front desk for accommodating me in such a drama free way. The warm cookies and free water for those with status already in the room helped. Lol

I arrived really tired from a long drive around 4am Saturday morning. She was very sweet and accommodating, and quickly set me up with a nice room. A quick note, I just wish the cleaning crew were not so loud in the hallway, I could've slept longer. Overall it was great, thank you, my bf and I will be back.

Finally someone came to the door, barely cracked it open and abruptly asked if I had an appt. I said no I didn't realize it was by appt only. So okay that's fine. She was not friendly at all and took my info down and asked me every detail of what I needed. Plus my personal info then tells me someone will call Me to set up an appt. (Not sure why she couldn't make me an appt as she had no client at her desk.) Made me feel as if I was a bother and that she was doing me a favor by talking to me. I left her with all my info over a week ago and no one ever contacted me. Which is fine because i booked with a Conpany that made me feel comfortable and were appreciative of my business. As a business owner myself it just shows how important it is to treat clients with respect and not acting like you are annoyed that they want to do business with you.

I had requested a single room after my friend backed out, but when we arrived at the hotel in Rome, we were told we were booked together! Kristi never told me that my male friend and I would be rooming together.

Both Kristi and Candy were of no help and I would never recommend them!

One event that reaches out to so many people and benefits those in need is the Amgen Tour of…read moreCalifornia. This event is best viewed in person and one stop is in the town of Modesto. Having ridden road bikes for many years I really appreciate seeing road races. Whether you are a rider and you know what it's like to take lead or to draft only inches from the rider in front of you. You know the excitement of bike race, gamble with the imminent danger that one day you will be piled together with other riders in a collision and realize the fact that this collision will absolutely happen several times in your life; sometimes several times in a race. Or perhaps just watch the race and see the immense mass of riders riding just a couple of inches between each other. You can actually feel the wind kick up as the riders go by you. These riders endure intense downpours, 100 plus degree weather, average speeds from 25 to 33mph and maximum speeds at times over 50 mph. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vZbUUzEj1YHjJ1F9bNzYVQ?select=HlYp8-pgySIOwsu92TZn2w

I've rented from Avis multiple times a year so when the front desk person was pushy about me getting insurance even though I told them that I have to decline their cdw because of my credit card (they provide me with primary coverage), she wouldn't take that answer. I provided my card's policy and my personal insurance as proof that I will be covered liability-wise but she was at the point of not allowing me to rent the vehicle. So weird. And she never gave me a rental agreement copy. But dropping off was great. The shuttle drivers expecting tips or they give you attitude is a bit weird.

The staff member told me that if I returned the car to a different location, it would cost $50. Due to the family emergency, I needed to change my return date and return it to the Modesto office. I went on Saturday to change the return date. IIn the parking lot, I was juggling a sleeping baby in a car seat and another child. A staff member came out of the office and offered to help me. After I explained my problem, the staff member entered my information on the computer, the return change fee was $500. She told me to talk to the owner Fernando when I returned the car the next week. Fernando was amazing. He was friendly and courteous. He waived the $500 change fee (which was more than the total rental amount) and found some other discounts so that my final total was less than the original amount when I rented the car. I will definitely use the Modesto Avis location again!
