My husband works for an airline and Our son is attending school at Riverside City College.
We were attending one of his games ( which we often do ) so hotel stays has to be fairly budgeted. We usually stay at the Comfort inn but there were no vacancy... Looked up Hotwire and got the Econo Lodge on Magnolia.
We checked in between 10:30 and 10:45 pm 09/23/2011.
The room had a mirror above the bed and another huge one on the wall across the the bed.. REALLY!!
The room was clean for the standards of not having a hotel room. No pens I had to go get one from front desk, You pay 25 cents for Ice and the Ice bucket they provide isnt big enough for the Ice that dispenses out since you have to pay for the damn thing... Room smelled a bit.
My son was laying across the bed by the head board and my husband laying across by the foot side of the bed watching TV. My son put his legs on the bed longside and said that the bed is wet, they both immediately jumped off and my husband pulled the sheets off and we discovered that the middle of the bed was wet and the sheets were placed on there WETbut before the fitted sheet were placed the wool like sheet that had the elastic on each corner was on there as well, by now we were in the room about an hour and I called the Manager and he didnt even want to look or inspect it and said that we were there more than 2 hours and that all he can do is provide us with new sheets, and that he has no other room to offer. I barked at the 2 hours by then it was 11:30 pm and told him I want my money back and that he didnt want to remedy the situation. I then called Hotwire and let them know .. they gave a $50 certificate on my account, and told me when I check out they will refund me my money.. They apologized profusely ... He then came back and said he did indeed have another room that we can stay in and we went and took a look at it and it smelled and the carpet was filthy, I just walked out. I did tell him that he first told us we were there for over 2 hours when it was almost an hour and a half and then he said no other rooms and then one turns up in a matter of minutes. He kept arguing over it He never apogolized and kept saying we were there for 2 hours.. (dont know what clock they go off of)... Well by midnight we were out of there and Needless to say I have stayed at many hotels & motels.. This was the worst I have ever seen.. JUST AWFUL!!!

This is the most horrible hotel I have ever stayed in. The one bed in our room was like a slab, the other bed was sagging, the pillows smelled, the noise from the neighbors above us was as loud as thunder, the TV had 7 channels, the room smelled musty, every car that passed by could be heard, the air conditioner switched on and off all night and was very loud, went to get something out of my car at midnight and I think I interrupted a drug deal, oh and the breakfast is a joke. The only good thing about this hotel is that it was affordable! We checked out and stayed up the street at the Days Inn which was a huge improvement!

For the value we got it at, it was not worth it. Rooms were old, and dirty. It smelled, and didn't clear out even with the air circulating all night. They served breakfast, but very limited; it's only enough to hold you over until you actually get to a breakfast place.

The bathroom was clean; however. Also, it was conveniently close to the downtown area.

I will know better next time not to stay at this place, even if it's just for a stop over.

Checked into this hotel when in town for a wedding. Horrible smell in the room when we quickly walked in so we tried to mask the smell with a candle that we bought at a nearby supermarket. Upon closure inspection dirty carpet, dirty bathroom and hair on the towel in the bathroom from someone. The absolute worst is that we saw through the sheet that there was a huge blood stain on the mattress- no question from some sort of crime. After arguing with the front desk who would not give us a refund on the place (nor seemed shocked that we thought someone had been murdered in our room at some point), we checked out in the POURING RAIN and drove down the street to another hotel. There were police in the parking lot- obviously crime is an issue.
