    Dislikes: A $50 security deposit for possible damages or smoking was charged my card on June 26th. I was informed my card would be credited on June 28, immediately after housekeeping checked the room. As of June 29th, it has not been credited to my card. Poor continental breakfast. In the remodel no permanent hook was installed in the bathroom for hanging clothes while showering. This needs to be corrected. A tissue dispenser was in the wall. It had no tissues. When I requested tissues at the desk, the attendent said he would inform housekeeping. I also left a note in English and Spanish for housekeeping. Upon my return to the room, there were no tissues in the dispenser. Either remove the dispenser or supply tissues.

    Our room smelled like a crime scene had been covered up, the smell of bleach was so powerful my girlfriend couldn't sleep

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The looked run down, the bed felt like if I was sleeping on the ground. The tv remote didn’t work, parking was VERY horrible

    The house keepers did an amazing job keeping the place tidy. They really did well with presentation of the towels , wash cloths and napkins in making decorative styles. Also making sure we had enough supplies. Roger the attendant who checked us in was very welcoming. The location is very good. It is in close proximity to the highway and nextdoor to the busy In and Out Burger restaurant. Also about 15 minutes away from SNA airport, 8 minutes drive to a Walmart, and 17 minutes walk away from Lucy’s Laundromat . CVS is also close by, among other fast food places such as Chick fil a ( 2 minutes walk). There is a pool and hot tub accessible from 0800- 2200hrs, continental breakfast and a nice sitting area to eat with vending machines. The bathroom and dressing room though clean, needs some renovation. The air filter was actually changed in our presence by Jesus without prompting. We would stay here again, room 223! Thank You!

    Amazing staff clean room

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Hot tub was dirty and Luke warm. Rooms were clean but unable to control the temperature.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    bathroom was a bit scary because it was dirty, but overall had a fine time staying there.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location was great, hot tub was amazing but the room smelled bad. We had to buy candles to burn the entire stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    What a great little place! Our room was clean and cozy. The exterior was lush and green and lovingly cared for. The staff was super friendly, as were the long term residents. Great pool. Adequate breakfast. Highly recommend. Will definitely return.

    the pools still looks great and the staff were friendly and helpful.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very courteous & helpful staff

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was disgusting. It reeked of straight vinegar, the floor was sticky and dirty, there were long black hairs in the sheets, one of the blankets on the bed looked like it had bites taken out of it, there was a chunk of someone's false eyelashes on the floor in the bathroom and to top off the insanity this morning I was checking all the drawers to make sure my daughter hadn't stashed anything and I found a USED CONDOM in the top drawer of the nightstand. The man at the front desk seemed like he couldn't care any less about that last part and im appalled. I will be contacting corporate about this experience. To not even offer a sincere apology much less a partial refund of some sort is crazy.

    Run down and dirty. Pool not clean, jacuzzi did not work. Room was dirty and needed repairs

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    DO NOT BOOK. I stayed in room 136. It was so bad.. Roaches on the ground. . The room smelled like mold. My throat was closing, my body was so itchy. I have a baby. That place needs to be SHUT DOWN!! Health department needs to go there.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was expected for a cheap motel, and was not bad at all and very clean. The only complaint is getting more bath towels.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The bed wasn’t clean,pillows and sheets were dirty. I bought Insurance for the State and I spoke with the manager that I had an emergency and had to leave but didn’t get my refund on the other two nights. Don’t recommend it. Will Not Come Back.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    thank you so much

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The bathroom was dirty. And all the amenities were outdated. Not worth the price . It’s overpriced too. And the receptionist was not even helpful.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room smelled very musty, bedding smelled like it just come out of storage, bathroom sink spewed water in every direction, in room coffee pot had never been cleaned, parking was inconvenient, locked gates restricted access. Do not recommend without significant improvements.
