Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff and this property are excellent in all categories.the only criticism I do need to offer is the cleaning technique used in the “accessible” room I used. The bathtub looked dirty, I reached in to remove something I saw in it and my hand came out with an “oily” substance on the fingers. When getting into the tub I felt the same oiliness on the feet. It was on the handles also making it difficult to get out of the tub. I put a hand cloth on the rod to prevent slipping. It was a very dangerous situation with the tub, I strongly suggest correcting it before there’s an accident. Thank you!

The bed and couch needs work, noisy road

Bed was so hard, pillows were stiff, sheets felt like sand paper. Room lighting feels like you’re in a mole hole, and if you’re trying to apply makeup, good luck. Towels are stuff and scratchy. Sink was clogging even to wash your hands. Sofa was not good for sitting and watching a program. So uncomfortable. Windows are not sound proof enough and had to listen to street traffic and loud motors during the evening to morning. If you plan to come, bring your own pillow and bedding. They do have a cute courtyard area and a nice breakfast. But don’t think this will be a comfortable stay.

Perfect Stay!!

Our place to stay when visiting my brother. It’s perfect. I left some personal items behind and Maria at the front desk was so helpful. She took my name and number in case those items are turned in. Everybody is so nice at Ayer’s Mission Viejo. Love it.
