The trip overall was okay but the hotel had roaches it had a shower faucet that just didn’t turn off so in the morning the whole floor was wet. There was people yelling in the rooms, like if they were doing surgery or something in there

Costa Mesa

I had a decent stay and the location is great. This is a good low budget hotel and has a lot of good things, pool, jacuzzi, and the rooms have mini fridge and microwaves. I had to switch rooms upon my check in because the sink did not drain at all from a clog, the new room was better but it had a toilet that didn't flush very well.
Chris, 7-night trip

Safe but dated

Look, it’s fine for a night or two in a pinch. But the rooms need a serious update. There are holes and scuffs all over the drywall. The building is just old and outdated. Uncomfortable mattress, old towels. Not the end of the world, but definitely not worth the price. It felt safe and was very clean in spite of being dated.

Bugs found in room

Found a dead cockroach when checking in to the room, I showed the picture to the staff, he offered to change to another room. However, another one was found later on. I ended up went to Target to get a bugs spray can & used it all over the room. Late that night 1 of staff came to check on us after my brother showed him the picture of the 2nd bug. The next morning, another live long creature was found in bathroom 😬😲 . Too bad that both pictures are deleted from my camera. This is the 1st experience to our family in the past 50yrs when we booked hotels while vacationing in US as well as in other countries.
