Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple guests reported cigarette smells, rooms that smelled 'old', roaches in the shower, dirty mattresses/linens, and lack of regular housekeeping—clear negative cleanliness issues.
Service
9.4
Staff were frequently described as accommodating and 'nice' by several guests; one report of a cashier asking for cash without a receipt and slow maintenance responses lowers confidence but overall guest-facing staff were generally helpful.
Location
10
Consistently praised as close to attractions (e.g., Knott's Berry Farm), convenient to destinations, and near many food options—location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
3.8
Many reports of rundown rooms: broken bed leg, worn/unclean mattresses, stained/holed linens, broken bathroom door, TV not working, and showerhead spraying—room condition is poor.
Amenities
8.8
Some useful amenities noted (parking included, easy access to ice), but several failures reported (noisy AC, non-working TV, wonky elevator, no on-site security, problematic showerhead). Mixed but several functional amenities present.
Value for Money
9.6
Affordability cited explicitly and several guests noted the price was appropriate for what they paid (parking included), so perceived value is high despite condition issues.
Food and Beverage
8
Guests largely ate off-site; one noted no hotel breakfast but many praised nearby food spots—hotel F&B offerings are minimal but local dining options are strong.
Overall Experience
4.5
Overall impressions skew negative: multiple guests said they would not return, described the hotel as 'worst' or unsafe, and cited cleanliness and safety concerns—overall experience is below average.

Awful. Spend the extra money to stay somewhere nicer like a Motel 6.
Pros:

The ONLY good thing about this disgusting place was how spacious the rooms were.

Cons:

Holy cow, where do I begin? Nothing worked, and the few things that DID work were in such poor disrepair that it felt unsanitary to use them. The sheets had a rotten/expired detergent smell to them that we tried to correct with Febreeze to no avail.
