Nice place, for last minute stay.

Last minute stay in the Santa Ana area, and we chose this place. Room was ok but the bed was hard and there wasn’t enough towels. No bath tub stopper either.

Great staff, rooms are older

Staff here is amazing and very welcoming, however this place could use a upgrade. Everything in our room was clean, it could use some more lighting in the rooms, and my tub had a little bit of mold. The bathroom had very tiny roaches that I saw in the middle of the night but we had food out in the main room where the beds were and no bugs anywhere there so that was good. Overall a ok stay.

Would NOT recommend…EVER!!!

This was the GROSSEST hotel/motel I have EVER stayed in!! There was hair everywhere, it smelled, the door did not seal and you could see outside light shining thru. Not enough space to tell you how gross and uncomfortable this hotel was. NOT AT ALL LIKE THE PICTURES!!
Light shining thru the door…pic doesn’t do it Justice!

Nope.

The guy at the desk wasn’t very friendly and my room was gross! Omg, I’ve never been in a room that felt this dirty and uncomfortable. The bedding was thin and I decided to sleep in my clothes to stay warm and protect myself from whatever may be on the sheets. The chairs in my room had stains and holes. The walls were dirty and the shower was so bad I decided to skip it. Would NOT recommend.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was nice enough but the pictures of the property are misleading. Looking out the second floor room you can see the dumpster piled high with garbage as well as the surrounding area, the room seemed to be missing furniture and looked a bit empty. Walls were stained as were sheets, so not sure if the linen had been changed. The area itself was decent and there was plenty of stuff within walking distance and a 7-eleven just next door. I wish the shower had hot water but at least it wasn’t freezing cold. Not sure id recommend this place because the bed was uncomfortable and there was no box spring and I did not look at the checkout time which is usually 11am at most places but this place was 1030am.

Well. I like this hotel and been a guest here since 1996. But, I haven't been to the Big A since around 2002. I needed a place that didn't need a major credit card to check in. I stayed just to go to the Angels game. I checked in, paid the cash deposit and showered and went to the game. I came right back because I forgot something. Omw back to the room someone came running and yelling in a mad way, I explained I am a guest and just left something. In the morning I crap and go the paper and there is literally two squares. I called and asked if they could bring me any they said no. I asked if I can check out a couple of minutes late they said no. But I left my Torah accidentally and came back two hours later and they gave it back to me.

It was a nice room, the only thing I didn't agree with was the $75 charge to switch from a king size bed to 2 Queen size beds. They also need to put more than 2 towels and 2 washcloths in the room. They should also provide hand towels. Had to use wash cloth to dry hands after washing. I think they need to put a little shelf in the shower to put your soap, shampoo on. Had to set it on the shower floor. I felt the owners were friendly. I'd stay there again . I'd recommend it to family and friends. Convenient location. All in all a good clean place to stay.

Place has see better days but I’d stay there again

No surprises. Place has definitely seen better days, but it was reasonably comfortable and clean. The mattresses were a little on the hard side (for me), but they were in good shape. The bathroom was clean. The bathroom fan was very loud. The room heater made the place a comfortable temperature but with a consistent rattling noise. Our room had no lamps, just one oddly-colored light in the middle of the ceiling. Plenty of damage to the walls and ceiling, and the floor was pretty dirty. The fridge and microwave worked, and our room had a dining room table against one way — which was odd, but quite convenient for putting our things down. For the price (at the location), I’d definitely stay there again.

Wouldn’t stay unless it’s your last option.

To sum it up in simple terms, the place is disgusting. The bathroom was dirty and had hair from more than one person left all around the room. The chair/couch had questionable stains for a black light and the bed squeezed like a rusty wheel with the slightest movement. The housekeeper looked dirty and sat on the stairs for hours smoking outside my room. The staff is unfriendly and charged me $84 to check in 4 hours early. The nightly rate was $88 😡.
