Will not stay again

Air did not work was told over and over and over they were fixing. Went whole weekend in a stuffy hot room. Didn't offer to move rooms no one ever came to our room to check it. Upon check out they world not print me a new receipt with new total to show me discount. Which I need to get discount since I booked through 3rd party. Unwilling to help. My family and I will not stay here again.

Joan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The trip overall was okay but the hotel had roaches it had a shower faucet that just didn’t turn off so in the morning the whole floor was wet. There was people yelling in the rooms, like if they were doing surgery or something in there
Brian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Chill spot for a nights stay, in-n-out is close by and a few grocery options. Is it the nicest place I’ve ever stayed? No.. but it’s chilll for a quick Layover or needed stay. I’d pop in again, room was clean. No complaints.
Christopher, 1-night trip

Costa Mesa

I had a decent stay and the location is great. This is a good low budget hotel and has a lot of good things, pool, jacuzzi, and the rooms have mini fridge and microwaves. I had to switch rooms upon my check in because the sink did not drain at all from a clog, the new room was better but it had a toilet that didn't flush very well.
Chris, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really like this place is really relaxing after a really busy day at work. Nothing to dislike me.

1 Star — Unacceptable Conditions

⭐️ 1 Star — Unacceptable Conditions I would not recommend staying here. The room was in poor condition upon arrival. There was visible mold on the air vent, dirty baseboards, and what appeared to be a used towel left hanging in the shower from a previous guest. The bathtub was grimy with debris, and the door had stains and marks all over it. This level of cleanliness is unacceptable and honestly concerning for health reasons. I expected a basic, clean stay, but this felt neglected and unsanitary. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses these issues for future guests.
Breanne, 2-night trip
