Fiesta Inn Resort

This hotel uses some fluorescent lights, but also has incandescent lights.

The hotel recycles aluminum, paper, newspaper, magazines and phone books. The hotel encourages employees to carpool and to be involved with the county's trip-reduction program.

The hotel has a green procurement program, ensuring that much of what they buy is recycled or recyclable.

This hotel is designed with the guestroom wings circling the pool and courtyard. The concept allows for a sense of community and closeness. Trees and palms in the courtyard are wrapped with strings of white lights which come on at dusk.

Wastebaskets are lined with plastic bags, which are uneccesary because they are durable and could be wiped or washed out when dirty.

The shower curtains are beautiful print fabric, but lined with a heavy plastic. The air quality would be improved with fabric liners.

Though the window opens, the hotel is on a busy street so at times during the day the traffic noise is intense. The individual climate control unit has a very noisy blower, and the fan was necesarry for us during our April stay.

In the process of changing sheets that had been requested to not be changed, a child's stuffed animal was scooped up with the sheets, never to be seen again.

The glasses and mugs in the rooms weren't changed between guests, only wiped out and replaced. This is a trend we see with hotels that's really disgusting and unsanitary.

Wireless internet is available throughout the hotel, with several access points spread around so all the rooms and the pool area had high speed internet. The connection was pretty good, most of the time. Nice feature for traveling business people; we loved conducting business outside.

Loved the sounds of the birds, both in our room and in the courtyard.
