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..

Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very shady people sitting out front all day, probably a welfare deal for the hotel. The desk clerk in the morning is ok but the evening guy, Mo is terrible and will do nothing to help you. Same potato chips on floor of elevator for 3 days. Toilets clog. “Breakfast” is bad coffee and off brand pre packaged garbage muffins. That is it. This was the least expensive hotel in the area and I feel like I overpaid. They do not answer the phone ever. I even went to the lobby and called the hotel and Mo did not move. They shut off the ringer. Dingy room and I am pretty sure they did not change the sheets from the last guest. They looked slept on. They clearly refused to put a dime into the place and that is how they treat their customers.. avoid this dumpster fire at all costs.

This is the absolute grossest place I’ve ever stayed! I had to ask for another room and it was just as bad. Dirty toilet. Trash and hair on floor! No cups and very little toilet paper. Drapes was falling off wall, men and women on front walk to lobby drinking and smoking! I deserve a refund and I’m calling the health department.

Not great.

Room had no toilet paper, no privacy signage for the door and nothing in the kitchen. When I went to ask for toilet paper I was handed a roll and told there was no privacy signage and I shouldn’t worry because housekeeping wouldn’t come by. I then went down and asked for an ice bucket and the location of the ice machine. They said there was no ice machine. I asked for ice cube trays. They said they didn’t have any. I asked if I could get a coffee maker or if they had coffee in the morning. They said they made coffee each day which was available from 6-9. There was only coffee one day between 6 and 6:15 when I left for work each day. Soi had to buy coffee and ice each day for work. Every day there was piles of sheets, bags of garbage and stacks of dirty plates in the hall to add to the ambiance. I also noticed the shower had a crack in the floor which appeared to be draining water (presumably into the ceiling or wall below me). I informed the front desk there was a hole in the shower and asked if they wanted to switch me to another room since I could see water seeping out. They said they made a note of it and maintenance would look after I left. The sheets were also super scratchy and blankets extremely thin. On the positive side, the room was clean but lacked the expected basics which they were always out of. So not a very pleasant stay overall.
