Good location but rooms need remodeling

Parking is off site and have to pay $22 aday to park. Bathroom is out dated and toilet difficult to flush. Breakfast was good. Location was convenient.
Herb, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location

The hotel’s breakfast was average. The gym barely had any equipment , but the pool was alright and the beds were good. I was able to rest even though the windows/hotel are right next to a highway; you can hear the noise. The hotel offers ear plugs if you need them though. The overnight parking fee was pretty expensive too.
Luis, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Simple overnight stay

It was an okay stay for our family overnight. Not anything too fancy or poor quality. The kids enjoyed the pool and the breakfast.

James, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay away from this property

The room was gross. Cockroaches in the bathroom, stained carpets, clogged sink, gross mattresses, area around the hotel is not safe, charges 20 or 25 (cant remember the exact amount) for parking per day, horrible breakfast and heavy pot use at the property making it smell bad.
Robert, 4-night trip

Olivia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was nice. We got to enjoy the view of the freeway. Only thing our room was across the trash bins and were woken up by the garbage truck. Over good experience!
Esmeralda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Book else where

Lobby is nice that’s about it. I booked one room and got another, could not switch rooms as they were sold out. Very dirty room, stained floors, roach bait in the bathroom, white stains on night stand, and not clean bedding had popcorn in the sheets. Hotels.com customer service was awful. Last time booking on here!
Richard, 1-night trip

Hotel was clean; offered a great breakfast. Parking was manageable - I didn’t have a problem getting a spot. Checking in and out was fast and easy.

Corin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here 4 nights on our Sea World/Legoland/Beach trip. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast had so many great options. My kids looked forward to the pancakes and waffles every morning of our stay. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub as well. Such a great stay! We will 100% be back!!

Hidden Gem

Great value! Good breakfast offered. Paid parking. Clean. Fluffy towels. Blackout curtains. In-room coffee/tea. Fromt desk did not offer early check-in, which would have been greatly appreciated due to a long drive and no sleep from working the night before. Quick drive to the trolley station. Will definitely return. Thank you!
