Wish i stayed anywhere else.

My experience with this hotel was poor at best, the room was dirty as my pictures show, the bath spicket was filthy, the fridge was rusty, the stove was worse, at the head of the bed you could see an electrical plug with no cover and something half plugged in it was touching the bed as my pics show, could have caused a fire. There was a small blood stain on the white sheet. The room had a smell (stale) om in my 60s and have been in alot of hotels in my life this was the worst room i ever booked. Im very disappointed. Please review the pictures.

Never again

Needs an upgrade. The beds were so squeaky when you moved at night it would wake you up. The “kitchen” was not equipped with any cooking appliances. I had to go to the front desk to ask for a pan. The stove in the room only the small burner worked. One night I cooked chicken for over 2 hours and it still wasn’t done.. price was the only thing good but with all the issues it was still too much.

Poor excuse for a hotel.

Grab and go consisted of coffee/hot water. Packaged store bought muffins. One day there was no coffee or muffins. The bed felt like sleeping on a brick pavement. There was no maid service. Had to ask for clean towels everyday. The room was filthy too. The place is in needed repairs throughout the facility. I will not recommend or ever stay there again

The property was very run down and filthy. Looks nothing like the photos. Garbage bags outside people’s rooms. Floors were filthy and the TV would not work. Bad smells everywhere to be honest it was very uncomfortable and we checked out the very next morning Would have checked out immediately but was told by front desk that nobody would be there to refund me until the next morning so we bit the bullet and stayed one night. Never ever again. Crazy thing is that the hotels location in Foothill Ranch is very safe and nice area so was very surprised at the conditions etc

I arrived with my family at 12:30 and they denied our booking. Me and my family had to sleep in the car. It was an awful experience. Would not recommend this hotel. Also, the cleanliness was non existent and there was an awful odor when you first walk in the building.

Disgusting

bathroom light did not work, the bathroom sink would not drain,there was no signal for the TV. The Internet was slow and I could not send any messages or emails. The leather chair was cracked. The lamp shade needs replaced , worst of all is there was who knows what splashed on the headboard. The air conditioner needs fixed as it made horrible noises and kept me up all night. tried to call the front desk around 7 AM and no answer no coffee in the rooms and then no coffee available at 7:30. The window screen is torn, the toilet seat is not tight and moves. Back-and-forthvery worst hotel stay I have ever had in the 50 years of my travels. Amazing that anyone would pay over $160 for a night stay..
