Not such a good stay

Surprised how cute it was on the outside but the inside rooms were less than be desired. Felt rundown and old. I was concerned about little critters so we slept with the lights on. The toilet didn’t flush properly so by morning it was plugged up. My morning shower was cold water. The man at the front desk was kind. If you need ice you better bring it yourself because ice there is limited. I would not stay there again

Cigarette Smell=Unhabitable

Billed as non-smoking, the room reaked of cigarette smoke. The staff tried to accommodate--no other room was available so handed me a bottle of Febreeze and said they would contact housekeeper. Said they would change room on second night. No amount of refund available or offered. Linens smelled clean but the smoke smell permeated the room. Had to find different accomodations. Gave stars because of the staff's efforts, otherwise this is 0-1 star place. I just needed a clean place to sleep since I was attending a workshop all day but the smell negated all the effort of cleanliness for the rest of the room and bathroom.

Late night check-in

I had a late check-in time and the Signal Hill Motel accommodated my need. The room was clean and easily accessed. I will use this establishment the next time I am at this location.

DO NOT STAY

absolutely horrific. walls paper thin I heard the next door rooms conversations, stunk like cigarettes, the floor was so dirty it stained the soles of my shoes. the bathroom shower curtain was a moldy brown fabric curtain, not plastic, so when it got wet in the shower it smelled horrific. the tv didn’t work and the wifi was a joke. the area is sketchy at best I was constantly stressed about my car being broken into. the only upside is the office worker was kind and helpful, but unfortunately the facility is disgusting.

Do Not Stay: Not Habitable: Not Comfortable

I had to cut my stay short and leave the next day due to the condition of the room. 1st, there was a terrible odor that made it impossible to breathe. It was toxic and caused me to get a bad cough by the next day. The room was cold and there was no blanket. The heater could not be used because it was full of dust and blew dust everywhere when turned on. Additionally, there were incense sticks stuck in the heating element. Beside the lack of a blanket, there was no bath towels, no working electric sockets in the bathroom, and no light bulbs in the bedside lights. The brown hand towels smelled, and the duvet cover was ripped and stained. The floor was sticky to boot. The toilet was filthy and had brown stains all over it. There were no hangers on the closet dowel which was also partially broken. The mirror had aluminum foil partially covering it as it was broken and not replaced. The room was not habitable at all. However, the man who checked me in was nice and friendly. Sadly, the hotel room is not habitable.

Our room was dirty, dirty pillow cases, shower, had someone’s dirty pants hanging on the shower rod, the sink and mirror were dirty. The guy who checked us in was helpful and refunded $20 gave new pillow cases and towels, said housekeeping would come in an hour to clean but nobody came. I worked as a housekeeper before so I know the standards of what it should look like and this was by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed. Smelled like cigarettes in the middle of the night very very strongly. I would have probably went somewhere else if it wasn’t so late and I wasn’t traveling all day with a child.

The lady in front desk gave us a room that was already occupied. I was shocked when i opened the door and there were occupants things all over. Lucky that they were not inside the time i opened the room. So disappointing that this place is just small and they do not know the check in and out of people.
