The water pressure was very low not allowing one to shower comfortably (trickles of water). The Door Bolt lock didn't fully seat so there was the danger of someone kicking in the door.

The property has a great location. We booked two nights thinking that it was convenient for us to Uber to Newport Beach and other nearby places. Upon our arrival, we noticed the place was dirty. There was some gooey stuff on the floor and the bathroom sink had was it seemed to be pieces of food and toothpaste. We were so tired yah we didn’t complain to the office because all we wanted to do was to go to sleep. We left the room the room the next morning to do some activities, thinking that someone would come to clean the room and leave it in a better condition. Surprisingly, the room was left untouched by the personnel, only the towels had been changed. We were so tired that we didn’t want to walk to the office to ask why it had not been cleaned. At check out I asked why the room was not clean at all and they said it was because cleaning is upon guest request. The only think I like about this place is the convenience to go visit nearby places.

Our room was clean and all of the facilities we used worked - sink, toilet, TV, lights, AC. Didn't try the shower, fridge, or microwave as we were only there for one night. The bed wasn't great but it wasn't horrible, either. We just needed a place to sleep after a concert at the OC Fair, so mission accomplished.

Avoid this hotel
There's a lot better hotels for the price everything was so minimal towels minimal floor was dirty. There's a guy that runs out at night and ask you how many people are in your room I guess it's the father tells you you're only supposed to have two people in a room makes all kinds of assumptions that everybody's sleeping in one room. Threatens to give you a refund and you can just leave.

Flee bag motel with rude staff
Could not stay in this fleabag motel. The fridge was rusty, Furniture was falling apart and bed was very uncomfortably and sank to the ground. Hoping to get a refund. They hotel manager was very rude and said because we checked in to drop off our our bags before leaving they would not give us a refund. Hotel's.com said they will work to get us a refund. The hotel said theybdo not care about negitive reviews.

The overall star rating on Expedia was very misleading. Expedia needs to better vet the reviews. That’s my biggest complaint…..false expectations. Dismiss all the 10 star reviews. I suspect now they are false. Shame on me. This was a Motel 6 level facility. I interacted with the staff only during checkin/out. They were nice. They do not use fitted sheets. Bedspread was cheap/overused. The room otherwise was clean. Bed comfort was average. The pillows were good. Newer floors and shower. Minimal water pressure. Shower soap was a bar of tiny hand soap. Great location if going to a concert at Pacific Amphitheater…10 minute walk. Think twice though if you are bringing your significant other.

New ownership 18 months ago by husband/wife team. Super friendly and responsive. Larger small refrig with microwave for convenience. Older property, not a chain but worked well. Returning on my next visit.

This is an aging facility and it felt potentially unsafe at times. That being said, the staff were very friendly, check-in was fast and easy, and the room was clean.
