Booked the room ($81) a week and a half prior to stay. Chose the pay at hotel option. And received confirmation text and emails. When I got to the hotel, after showing my ID, gave my phone number, and showed the confirmation text and emails, was told there was no reservation under my information. I couldn’t get into Travelocity as both the phone signal and WiFi are horrible at the hotel, and as I just Ubered there for an event for work and had bags boxes and equipment with me, I couldn’t drag it all around while looking for another hotel …was forced to take a walk in rate of $140. I was told as there was no record of my reservation I would not be charged a no show fee on my reservation. I was given room 304 all 3 beds had mismatched pillows and numerous burn holes in the bedspread, a picture was missing leaving a board with exposed nails, the fan in the connected bedroom was barely attached to the ceiling with wood screws , the smoke detector was missing having been ripped out of the base, the light fixture in the bathroom was rusted and covered in spiderwebs and dead bugs, and to e shower head was covered in calcium deposits. In the morning after checking out and already at work setting up our event I got notification that I was charged a no show fee. So after working all day at the event I had to give up my ride home to head back to the hotel to fix the charges. I was told by the front desk worker (same as check in and checkout) that Travelocity charged me no

I have stayed in this hotel 3-4 times already because is walking distance to Knotts Berry Farm the family room has 3 beds so it accommodates my family of 6. The price is very reasonable, the only thing is that on each stay we have problems with the tv, it won’t turn on or the remote controls won’t work, other than that everything is good just for the purpose to get there relax and sleep.

First I like to complaint the front dest name Cal. He is extremely rude & jerk. The room so dirty & smell pees. They charged $5 per day for service we only use their service one time. They should reimburse us the rest. Please contact the manager to report the front dest agent Cal and send him to customer service class. So he’ll be how to greet customers with pleasure.

The room that was provided had a gaping margin around the front entrance. There was no privacy. . . And, I was walking around naked. I was eventually warned by the next door neighbor. I asked to speak to the manager and was told he was nowhere on the premises. The bathroom had a sensor fixture that went on every thirty minutes with noise and light. The curtains were not retractable and were not at all hanging in many places on the curtain rod. It was a disaster!

Property requires a $100 deposit in cash which was not highlighted when I paid through Expedia found it in the small print after the fact. The hotel receptionist was really nice parking was easy and the facility looked nice and clean on the outside but when we entered our room we found roaches and the room look like it was back in the '80s the two chairs that were there we're torn and stunk so I went back and requested can we be placed in another room which he did with no problem the room had no roaches but chairs were torn and the top of the toilet seat had a bunch of cigarette Burns.
