“No Recommendation!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2006
4
people found this review helpful

This hotel was a huge disappointment. The pictures on the website were nothing like the real rooms. When we first arrived the rooms were dirty and smelled like paint. There were cigarette burns in the sink and on the bed. The sheets had small black dots on them ( I hate to think of what they might have been from!) and the pillows smelled like mildew. Our front door did not lock unless someone locked the dead bolt from inside and climbed out our window. The manager would not allow room service to provide any extra towels (there were only 2 towels in the room), even though we had arranged to rent a suite for 4 people! The room's "kitchen" was a dirty mini-fridge and a half-sized oven that smelled funny when you turned it on. The manager asked us to leave after trying to get towels for all of the guests and while trying to reimburse our credit card, he froze all our funds! Even after calling there 800 line they refused to settle the matter until after Thanksgiving, which did us no good sense we still had no room! Also when we left, we found a chicken bone thrown on the hood of our car. We definitely would not recommend this location to anyone, EVER!

“Terrible!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2006

people found this review helpful

This place was overall not so great. The pics Expedia provided were totally the opposite of what you would find there. The place seemed somewhat clean on the exterior but the minute you entered the room, you noticed how dark the room was and how stuffy and smelly it was. I almost was sure they didn't clean the bed (or at least they didn't do a good job of it),. I found a brown stain on one of the pillows. God knows what it could possibly be. Hopefully it was chocolate and not blood. In addition, this place was located in a not so great neighborhood. Strip clubs, prostitutes on the streets, XXX stores, I think you get the picture. Not a children's environment. If anything was positive it was the free continental breakfast - somewhat decent. But quite frankly, I do not recommend this place.

“Wouldn't stay here again!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2004

people found this review helpful

We stayed here last year and it was terrible. The couch in our room smelled so bad we didn't want to sit in it. The walls and ceilings are very thin. The people upstairs were very loud and drunk and ran up and down the stairs all night long (which just happened to be next to our room).

“Horrible Experience!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2004

people found this review helpful

My husband and I were on vacation from Iowa and were expecting a hotel that looks like the pictures and details described. Instead we found ourselves staying in a neighborhood where the police officers roam the parking lot daily checking license plate numbers, rooms were not newly remodeled and the continental breakfast consisted of bread sitting by a toaster in the office. My husband and I stayed one night and decided to find another hotel for the rest of our vacation and payed a cancellation fee for each day that we cancelled.

“Cheap yet Costly”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2002
15
people found this review helpful

We wanted to stay at the cheapest hotel in Orange. This hotel is cheap, that is for sure, but:

1. It is very noisy, and we had to wear earplugs.
2. The towels were dirty.
3. My VW received over $1000 in vadalism by partying youths in the parking lot.
4. The hotel staff were extremely rude, pushing their way into the room, being unhelpful about the police report on the vandalism and cancelling an agreed-upon 1 hour check out extension.
