Sycamore Inn Chico

I tend to only write a review when I have a bad experience but I'm now planning to change that. The one night I spent (Sunday Jan.4-5) at the Sycamore Inn was so poor, I now truly appreciate the other motels around Chico. Anyway, I checked in late in the evening. It was a cold 50° and heavy rain. The host was friendly and gave me room 125. It was midnight before I returned to my room with food. Within minutes I noticed there was no heat in my room.

This pair of frugal, minimalist old hippies from coastal N CA boondocks tend to seek out non-corporate "Patel motels". Low price, scrupulous cleanliness, functioning fridge/freezer, firm mattress, walkable surroundings, & relative quiet are our priorities when we venture to Chico for Tesla service. Our recent overnight at Rodeway Inn was our 3rd; all boxes checked, with bonus blazing fall colors & a natural food coop https://www.chiconaturalfoods.coop/ in the neighborhood. Our previous sojourn was marred by loud latenight TV on the other side of the thin wall.

Positive: The manger was very friendly and helpful. My room was cleaned every day and it was like being welcomed home when I returned each afternoon. The location is nicely landscaped, like being in a Florida old time motel. I truly loved staying here. Negative: I have nothing at all bad to say about this motel.

Great rooms and location. Quite and well maintained property with clean rooms and friendly service.

Positive: Clean, not expensive, cable, microwave, coffee pot, refer and plenty of room.....not your 5 star but decent Negative: ""
