    Much older hotel. It had the smell of mold and the fridge was disgusting. We opened the cabinet and bam there were roaches. Had a roach climb up the wall where my bed was. We killed a good two. The beds were very comfy and we only needed the room for one night. I will not stay there again but there were a lot of food and stores around. As I said we were only there for the night so it served its purpose.

    It was so dirty. No blankets on the bed even just one dirty sheet. Also the pool had been drained forever. The soda machine was out of order. Keys were demagnetized and they didn’t put enough towels in our room and when we asked for more they acted like we were going to steal their towels that were not full size.

    Unfortunately this was pretty bad. There are smears of dirt and mystery substances everywhere. There was a chunk of something smashed in the curtains an unreasonable amount of stains and tears in the bedding. The box spring was torn up, the wheels were bent and taped. A very disgusting lobby Chair was in the room. Walls had stains and smears. The tables had chunks of something that looked ancient dried on them. The rest of the property matched.

    The advertisement compared to what it actually was was completely opposite. Room was dirty and roach invested with holes in the bathroom and the door which was not fitted to the entrance. A couple of towels we got still looked dirty. Bed came with 3 flat pillows and the headboard, chair and running boards looked like it needed to be cleaned. Got the room for 3 nights and had to activate the room card every night and got questioned every single time as if we didnt have a reservation. Scary thing was it was easy to activate a card for a room, no ID needed which made us feel very uneasy. Stayed 2 nights and left at 10 pm the night before check out because we couldnt handle another night. Overall, terrible location and experience.

    I booked a room with two queen beds for a good deal on this site. Shortly after 11am, management knocks on the door and threatens to kick us out if we dont give her $20. I paid $97 for the room and she said this room is $130, even though its not. And even if it was, $97 plus $20 is $117, not $130. We paid it because we werent prepared to leave right then and i already paid for the room. Definitely checking out tomorrow

    Everything about this property was just awful. The location to begin with wasn’t the best, but I digress. When checking in, the host spoke in low volume, I had to constantly keep asking them what they were saying. It was inconvenient that I had to reactivate my key card every 24hrs or then I’ll be locked out of my room. I was informed maintenance would stop by around 11am to clean and restock, yet they never came. Only one ice machine on the property and it was broken down but was told I can go get “ice somewhere else”. The non-smoking room is what I paid for and yet there was the smoke detector was ripped out and the room smelled like cigarettes. There was a cigarette butt found in our fridge and where the fridge was found to be turned off, leaving leaking water all throughout. Would never stay here again.

    This place is and was horrible. I truly thought I booked a decent place, nope, not at all. This place is more for drug addicts and people who need a place to live(which were quite a few living there). It also said no dogs yet there were several BIG dogs there. The room also had gunshot holes and blood spats in the room, so someone definitely got murdered/killed in that room. There was a message written on the side of the so called nightstand basically saying RIP to someone. It was definitely not worth staying there at all.

    Couldn’t get window to close correctly, window faces a main street with high traffic and kept me up all night, should have requested a room replacement, I was dead tired to get up and move everything over to who knows where. It’s 5:00 am and now I wish I would have complained last night to get a different room. This is a typical Hindu owned motel and in a questionable neighborhood, there were abandoned cars with broken windshields, not only lined up along the street but on the motel property parking lot. People seem to be living out of some of the vehicles, that was a telltale warning to go elsewhere, unfortunately there is a no cancel warning when booking. Now I see why. Next time I’ll spend 50.00 more in a better motel. I thought this was a decent location.

    It was so dirty. Every towel had long black hairs folded into them, the stairwell and outside parking area had garbage everywhere, and the chairs in the room were torn and just felt nasty. Pictures on the website are obviously very old. Paint was peeling. Tried to use the hairdryer and it started smoking. And you can hear every single thing happening in the rooms around you. I didn’t expect a 5 star hotel, but I at least expected it to feel comfortable and clean.

    My partner and i stayed here for one night while in the area for a birthday party. Upon arriving the first impression of the hotel was uncomfortable. The parking lot was filled with people hanging out in their cars, drinking and smoking. The exterior of the hotel made us very afraid of what we would find in our room. There was a cash deposit required, which was something I've never had to do before. Ice maker required quarters to use. Our room turned out to be ok but definitely not the greatest. The carpets are dirty, the lounge chair in the room and walls have visible stains. The bed however was comfortable and clean, which was the only reason we stayed. For what we paid this room was way less than what we expected.

Since the elevator was not working we were not offered a first floor room or a handicap room. Instead we were on the 3rd floor with out an elevator. The furthest room from the stairs. We wanted a receipt for our stay. We were told we would have to go to Expedia. If I were you I’d 86 them.

    When I went to check, I told the guy at the front desk that I was getting the room for my niece & her girlfriend. He asked if they had a dog. I said yes. He said they weren’t allowed. I told him that it was ok. I live down the street, & they can leave the dog at my house. He never asked about seeing anyone else’s id other than mine. When my niece & her girlfriend went to the hotel, they were told that they were not able to go to the room, & that the hotel was going to call the police if they didn’t leave. Only because the hotel didn’t have their id on file. I was unable to make it to the hotel to help them out in person. Now the hotel refuses to refund me my money. They are basically stealing from me. They refused to provide me with a service, but are also refusing to refund me my money.

    It truly was the "Rodeway" Inn. The noise from the road made it very difficult to sleep. At 2 am the smoke detector started to beep because the battery was low. When we got up to go get a battery, the guy behind the plexiglass was annoyed (well how about our annoyance). There were people hanging out everywhere and someone parked in the parking lot with music blaring, the base music very loud even in our room on the 3rd floor. It is close to the Long Beach Airport. That was the only thing good. Can't believe there wasn't even a box of tissues or a towel holder by the sink.

    The room was clean and fine but the location is on a busy street in a pretty sketchy neighborhood, there are cop cars surrounding it daily and there was a man trying to commit suicide at the hotel the first night we were there, which created a scene of ambulances etc. Staff wasn’t very friendly and they did not have a luggage storage space for our bags, as we arrived before check-in time. They acted like they’ve never heard of someone wanting to leave their luggage there in the morning.

    I also had an awful time staying there. A couple weeks before the date, I received an email and voicemail saying they changed the reservation I had for 2 beds to 1 bed without asking! I immediately called and they said I would get 2 beds but when I checked in, they said they still had 1 bed under my name. They were able to get us 2 beds but the room they gave us had a broken sink handle, broken screen windows and the sliding door wasn't able to be closed completely so you could hear all the traffic from PCH. One of the WORST experiences I've ever had. And we were still paying >$100 each night.

    All I have to say is don’t judge a book by its cover. The room was surprisingly very attractive didn’t expect that after seeing the exterior of the hotel. Don’t listen to prior reviews; I almost missed out on a decent hotel because of the other judgemental reviews. If you’re looking for a nice weekend hotel and nothing too fancy for a good price, this is the hotel you want to stay at. Oh by the way it’s in a secluded area, only a little wussy would think this is in a ghetto, I grew up in a ghetto and this hotel area was not in that type of environment it’s just very empty.
