Reviewed by Jacqueline V. of Gilbert of AZ USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 No fitted sheets, breakfast is a joke, loud wall unit for air conditioner, plumbing issues with shower, shuttle service is a joke, roaches, poor service all together! Do not take your family here, it is very run down.

Reviewed by Brandy C. of Phoenix of AZ USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 I've stayed in alot of economy hotels, and most of my experiences have been positive. I cannot say that about this hotel. The room was in terrible shape. There were ants in the bathroom. The toilet clogged and it took the maintanence man 2 and a half hours to come and unclog it. We couldn't get clean towels or extra pillows. The AC didn't work. The television was really staticky. The coffee pot blew the fuse (never did get that fixed). The shower head was mounted at about four and three quarters feet, which was a horrible experience for my husband who's 6'1.
Pros:	pool
Cons:	everything else

Reviewed by Jeff W. of AK USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 Night 1 we arived very late. I asked the front desk where I could go to buy some items. He directed me to call a taxi from my room and ask a them for information. The room was clean, but really run-down. The listing advertised free shuttle to Disneyland. It never mentioned it only ran once a day. This really messed up our plans. We found a large Roach under our sink. When asked the best way to get to LAX Kawaz, the same guy from night 1. "? call a taxi?". I will contact the corp. to place an official complaint. Other then Kawaz the staff was friendly & helpful.
Pros:	The mini Kitchen in the room
Cons:	Everything could use some improvement

Bad area, too scared to even get ice. Gangsters hanging out by ice machine. "Deluxe Free Breakfast" was a box of Donuts in lobby. Couldn't get new towels. made me track down several maids to look for some. Shower didn't drain. Washed hair in sink then got the heck out of that place! Won't go back!!

Reviewed by Sandra L. of Flagstaff of AZ USA on Sep-2006 Stayed at the Property - Sep-2006 Thought having a credit card on your reservation meant you could check in late. Nope. They charged my card and canceled my reservation. After a long drive over from AZ had to wrangle with them to let me into the room they already charged me for and to honor my reservation for the next day. No maid service. Poor English.
