Trust me, I'm not one to give gushing reviews of any hotel (see my other reviews), but I have to say this Ramada is truly above average and seems to have an owner that "gets it" as far as understanding what customers need and want. The basics: very clean, HUGE room with fast wifi; very convenient parking and access to freeway and town. Mic + fridge tucked away under the TV. Tons of storage. Almost all so-called "complimentary breakfasts" are a waste of time but I found this one to actually be appetizing. The dining room was small, but clean and cozy. The waffle maker was clean and easy to use. One thing I really liked about this breakfast room was the pass-through lay-out. Usually these rooms have only one entry, giving you a trapped feeling. This one has a 2nd door leading to an outdoor patio, complete with chairs and umbrellas. Wow, nice! Beautiful pool and pool deck. All of this at a cost of $55/day, for three days.
This hotel has a perfect central location in Temecula... slightly outside of "old town", but you can still walk there easily. If you're into gambling, it's only a 8 minute drive to the Pechanga Resort Casino. This would make a great alternative to staying in rooms there. This would be a good place to stop over for anyone traveling the I15 corridor and who wants to be in a smaller (and more upscale) city rather than a large city like San Diego or San Bernadino.
The staff seemed motivated, awake, and always courteous without wasting my time in mindless happy talk. Every interaction with them was positive and constructive.
Great little bbq right next door on south side. Slightly expensive but great food. Give them a try.
Because of my overall satisfaction with my stay, and my inability to find ANY flaws, I'm going to award this property with a rare "excellent" rating.
