“Disgusting, seriously...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My aunt was having people over at her place in San Clemente so my boyfriend and I wanted to stay at a hotel near by. My aunt looked up this place and since she recommended it, I assumed she thought it was good. So WRONG... We arrived and the lobby was a tiny room with a random cheap wood desk. We looked at each other because we were not keen on staying. Either way, we arrived late so we just decided to try it out. It was $100 per night and it was not even worth $10 per night! The room was filthy that when I spilled water on the floor, the white towel turn grey. The room was just BAD all around. We got there to sleep and didn't want to sleep on the bed so we lied a blanket that I brought from home to sleep on top. I was freezing all night since we had nothing to cover ourselves with and we got woken up at 5:00 am by the trains! Biggest mistake ever to stay there. Go down the street to the double tree inn, do not waste a dime here.

My visit was in 2009, but I can't imagine it has gotten any better.

“So Bad we canceled”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

This Inn needs so much help and work we didn't even stay. It doesn't deserve the second star it has.

“You better like highway noise!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

The front door of my room was 30 feet from the four lane, which is right beside the railroad. The dirty and bent Venetian blinds didn't keep out the light, and the terrible insulation didn't keep out the noise; you'll swear your bed is on the sidewalk (which might be a better experience than the tired, dirty room). I tried to turn on the air conditioner to drown out some of the noise...but it was broken. A one-speed ceiling fan was the only ventilation. Don't plan on sleeping. Wait! There's more: There was no iron in the room. I asked for one at the front desk. The clerk/owner brought out one that looked like it was used to iron bubble gum. When I mentioned its condition, in very poor English he said something like, "Don't turn up too hot and maybe okay." This is a place you'll want to avoid.

“Nasty/Old/& Bedbugs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

This place is a dump. Cant lie the outside is so cute,inside is very dirty doors barley shut, bathrooms are just old, couldn’t turn TV on of how old and noisy it was. We complained about the room, the fake red head old man wouldn’t cancel our order of $145.00 per night so we had no other choice but to stay, I would have rather slept in my car. If you reserve from Expedia.com think twice, they don’t allow cancelations unless owner/Manager from the Hotel approves. I was itching all night and all next day.
