Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Was waiting in the lobby about 20 mins and there was two people that were there before me and they said they had already been waiting for about 25 mins so that was 45 mins they were waiting! Nobody was at the front desk this whole time. No bell no phone. Lots of other people came after me probably about 4 different parties trying to check in. So everyone was in the small lobby waiting to be helped. People were calling the hotel trying to get someone to come help and no answer at all. Finally a worker passes through and he says he will call someone to come help and few mins after he says the man is coming down now and mind you it is already about 3:10pm and check in is at 3pm. The man finally came down pulling a cleaning cart showing us this place must be really understaffed or the cleaners are not doing their job in time. The man was really nice and calmly helped get everyone checked in. But really having all of us waiting here with no answers or knowing when anyone would be at the front desk is bad service. There is alot of unusual people staying here... im from out of town and i thought it would be a decent place ro stay with my family with small children but i get feeling of a run down vegas strip hotel here. I think next time i will pay a bit more to stay someplace down the road where i will feel more comfortable with my kids. Does seem like everyone stays in their rooms no loud noises going on. the people i seen in the lobby when coming or going make me feel unsafe.

Never again

Needs an upgrade. The beds were so squeaky when you moved at night it would wake you up. The “kitchen” was not equipped with any cooking appliances. I had to go to the front desk to ask for a pan. The stove in the room only the small burner worked. One night I cooked chicken for over 2 hours and it still wasn’t done.. price was the only thing good but with all the issues it was still too much.

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.
