Affordable and basic- in a good way.
This is a budget friendly hotel. This is my second stay here and I am very happy. Staff is friendly and present. The location is close to many restaurants, markets, and shops.
The rooms are basic, with no carpeting, microwave, and mini-fridge. AC works and showers are hot and no drain problems. Rented 3 rooms and they placed us next to each other. About a 10 minute drive to Disneyland.

Front desk needs improvement
Check in was through bullet proof window. Did not provide confidence on safety.
Check out at 8:30 the front desk did not respond to multiple rings. Housekeeper told me to leave key card in office.
Bed was great. Bathroom was tiny and oddly shaped.

Unsatisfied customer
It was ok but I asked for a later checkout daughter had a late game but guy gave me a hard time it’s a small motel and there is no way they were fully booked for that night. Made me pay half the nights fee for an extra 3 hrs I didn’t want to never had this problem before but my daughter needed rest and sleep between games… the hotel needs updating for sure.

Never coming back here.
We booked two rooms. One regular room with double bed for my father and one luxury room for me my wife and baby. And both rooms smelled musty. The pillows and bed smelled like it didnt dry correctly. The AC smelled nasty as well.

I couldn't believe my eyes...
It was the best price available for this area, so I wasn't expecting much at all. The night clerk was quite handsome and courteous but very strict. If you are a rule , breaker, do not stay at this hotel because they will not put up with your foolishness. And that is why I felt very safe for both of the nights I stayed.
I opened the door to the room and was stunned to see it was exactly like the picture shown on hotels.com.. EXACTLY. Everything promised was there and everything was as clean as it should be. If you are looking for an affordable room that is comfortable and clean.This is the place to stay for an incredibly low price. This will be my hotel in Orange County from now on. -Jeff Sousa

Very good price and worked well for our Disneyland trip as everything else was booked. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this hotel was for the price. I’d like to give a special shoutout to housekeeping for working hard to make sure our room was clean and tidy each day. Quiet neighborhood as well with lots of Uber options.
