    Great location and clean rooms.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Old dated motel, burn holes in the carpet, stains on bed sheets and pillows. Would not recommend.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room is clean, but a little aged. The bathroom door handle was falling off!

    Stayed a weekend (Fri-Mon). Was looking for a cheaper hotel compared to the higher end was much too expensive for a weekend trip. However I traded price for better quality. While the staff was nice there were things a hotel should not have. Dried blood on the curtains. The curtain was also broken. The A/C smelled like mildew every time it came on. The bathroom vent/ fan looked as if it had never been cleaned. The pool wasn’t very clean. We received fresh towels but the were either dirty or stained. The toilet seat moved because it was extremely loose. It was supposed to be smoke free but another room continued to smoke weed and it reeked. There was never any turn down service. So while it may have free WiFi, free parking. It was lacking practically everything else you’d want from a hotel. You trade quality for a lower price tag but it’s not worth the stay sadly.

    The room was clean on the first night. On the 2nd day when we asked a Housekeeping Services member if she was going to clean our room she said no. When we returned to the room at 10pm we were locked out. We went to speak to someone at the front office & no one was available. We had to call a number, and then wait for someone to come and assist us. We were only given 1 fixed key card, & had to explain that we needed 2. We were given the 2nd key card and the office manager had a negative attitude. When we finally got into the room Housekeeping had not been there at all. They also don't have ADA accommodations. This is not the place for permanently or temporarily disabled people, or injured persons of any age, or the elderly. Customer service was so bad, and no one should be subjected to that type of treatment especially when you're paying for it.

    Great place

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was ok but there was a very strong and unpleasant odor in the room, which my wife and I hated. In addition, the A/C noise kept us up all night long. Needless to say, we weren't well-rested at all. We will not return for sure.

    Firm bed. Near Old Town. The room smelled so we left window open and ran air conditioner.

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Friendly staff and clean room. Very nice.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    What I didn't like: Bare floor. Smell of lysol. Office person who didn't speak English and couldn't answer any questions. Sink that didn't drain well. No one there to turn key in to (I have no idea how much money they took from my credit card or if they took any.) And I am really hoping I did not bring home any bedbugs.

    This is a solid choice for a budget stay in Temecula. Location is great (very walkable to everything in the Old Town area and easy freeway access. It's an older motel for sure, with minimal amenities, but it's clean and the staff is friendly. They don't offer breakfast, but if you stay here, do yourself a favor and eat at Penfold's which is a diner in the mini mall 2 doors down. Excellent food there ad huge portions (you can likely share a meal if you're traveling with someone).
