I appreciate the staff for being very polite, professional, and helpful. To me, customer service is highly important and determines if I will ever do business with that company again. I definitely will come back. As for the rooms and everything else... perfect. The room was super clean, flawless, and didn't have that "hotel smell" that hotels tend to have.... More

We were driving down to San Diego and we were getting tired, so we started trying to find places to stay that were about an hour further down the road. We called the number on the website and tried to get into the Howard Johnson where we were going to stay in a couple of days, but they were full... More

The staff were very friendly and helped us with activities to do in the area. Because of them we made our business trip into a mini vacation since we visited the spectrum in Irvine... More

Stayed here for one night last Thursday. I booked a room with single King bed and was not disappointed. Although the room is not in pristine condition (Tears on the couch, carpet not in the best shape) It was fairly clean, the restroom was clean, very spacious. TV, Fridge, AC, Coffee Maker and Microwave worked even though they look quite... More

Within 10 minutes my wife spotted a few creepy crawlers, then I started looking around and found cockroaches. We tried to get a refund but ended up in a cat and mouse game between the hotel and hotels.com. Awful... More
