    Room was dirty sheets were dirty, microwave nasty, 50 deposit not listed on website. Stayed 3 nights and room rate went from 63 to 110 . Price was to high for quality of room. No bugs at least but still nasty.

    . 63 bucks was nice then I saw why and then after paying deposit couldn't afford a different hotel while waiting on deposit to be refunded so had to stay. This is not a like. Its more bitching about how dirty it was and how lazy the front desk people are. One guy at night was good. The rest suck.

    There is no breakfast - I guess they do not serve any since Covid! You cannot even enter the lobby room - there is a glass window with a cutout through which you communicate to the receptionist. Also a leftover from Covid times. My "renovated" room did not have a night stand bed light, only very bright overhead lamps built into the ceiling. Very uncomfortable. I did not dare to switch on the air conditioning/heater because it looked broken, see photo. Also, there were zero coat hangers available on the rack. Staying there feels unsafe. Noisy guests at night. A man was using the hotel parking lot as a repair shop for his motorcycle. An old lady stood in front of my room door and was smoking marihuana when I arrived. When I arrived on another day, a police car was in the hotel parking lot and officers were escorting a blonde woman from 2nd floor to their car.

    The hotel and its location used to be ok, years ago, when it was still a Days Inn, and I visited it whenever I was in Orange County. I actually liked it, because it is close to downtown.

    I didn’t like this place at all. Nothing was like the pictures. The pool picture should be switched to a more recent one. Pool was dirty with green patches. Didn’t feel safe to swim. The room had lots of recently fixed patches but not even finished. Furniture looked old and dirty. Very weird smell. Rooms are supposed to be no smoking and they smelled like cigarette. Very bad experience. I was running from the heat and the pool picture in their website made me choose this place but not worth it at all. The place is by the freeway and lots of noise. So pricey too.

    I only like the staff

    I was assigned a smoking room and the smell was horrible, staff then offered me a different room which was better but the smell in my nose didn’t go away, very uncomfortable because I’m allergic to smoke

    Transportation has to be by private car or taxi, poor public transport connections. Pool was underwhelming compared to the pictures. Area felt unsafe, so we opted to not sleep there, was met with no sympathy and a hefty cancellation fee.

    We arrived prior to check in time, a nice employee let us keep our bags at the reception area while we got a bite to eat
