Horrible stay this is a motel that was advertised as a decent lodge with 9.2 rating and great pictures but the reality was brutal when we arrived late night at 2am and had not choice but to stay in super outdated motel with a broken AC unit.Super surprising because the Ayres hotel owns the property

The room wasn't what I ordered, a king, as well as the sink was full of what I think was dried vomit. Drove back up front to ask for the another room with a king and they didn't have the room. Had to fill out more paperwork and drive back around building while my wife waiting in pain in the car, sick. Only good thing was we got to the new room and it was a king and clean, thank God.

Pets allowed for additional $65 per stay and limited to small pet relief grass patch next to smoking area in front parking lot. There is a grass park next door with signs saying no dogs. Bed was firm and comfortable. A/C and TV worked well. Microwave, fridge, and coffee maker in room. Toilet and shower in small bathroom. Can hear neighbors in adjoining rooms. Complimentary breakfast in morning and cookies in evening.

This hotel is a hidden gem in East County. Check in was seamless, our room was clean, beds comfortable, and even though it's close to the freeway, there was minimal noise. The breakfast was ample and was not disgusting like a lot of places, and there were many different selections. (For those with allergies or dietary restrictions, shame on you for "expecting" a place with a basic breakfast to cater to you and giving less stars.) Our kids went in the pool, which was nice and clean, and then later in the evening we sat around the fire pit and my husband grilled steak on the community grill. We ate at one of the picnic tables outside. All were clean and in good condition. This hotel is in the back of a shopping center, which has several delicious dining options, as well as other places right up the street. (I HIGHLY recommend Panda Machi which is right in front of the lodge.) We used to live right by here but never had reason to stay in the lodge. This will be our new go-to place to stay when we visit, for sure.
