• Comfortable bed.
• Very noisy (trash pick up) (car mechanic next door).

“If you just need a place to sleep for the night - this is your place. Don't expect your shower to be warm/hot immediately - took about 10 minutes to get a lukewarm shower. Good enough "breakfast".”

• Free Internet, free breakfast, microwave, small fridge.
• Lots of noise coming from rooms above, water running and such.

“This was not a bad motel, I just needed it for the night to rest and leave early morning, room has all the basics, free internet, cable TV, iron and ironing board, microwave, fridge. Noise from the room upstairs ruined the experience, wasn't people partying, just old floor and people walking all night long and early morning, get a top floor room.”

• The room was not touched when we left; the do not disturb sign out.
• No microwave, shower drain slow, nails popping out of the floor.

“When we made the reservations I said I was handicapped and asked that we get a room on the first floor or at least close to the elevator, therefore, it would have been a much better experience if we were given a handicap room or at least a room on the first floor or near the elevator. The rooms we got were about 1/4 mile from the elevator. Also the only thing the clerk said while we were checking in, when I asked him a question about a shuttle service to Disneyland, all he said was no shuttle service. Although when I called to make the reservations, I was told that the hotel didn't have a shuttle service, but there was a service we could call; the clerk never mention any other shuttle service available.”

• The room was quiet.
• Poor customer service, No privacy.

“The attendant had trouble with my credit card while I was away walked into my room, having seen my belongings in the room, had disconnected my lap top which resulted in loss of download information. They took the liberty of walking in the room turning the lights off and unplugging my laptop, denied access with the key until I got back 20 minutes later to rectify the problem. Their conduct was very unprofessional and was not called for.”

• There wasn't much to like you had to squeeze in the bathroom and the sink was buy the door.
• Bathroom sink was as soon as u walked in and if you were at the sink and someone came out of the bathroom they hit you.

“When you got to the hotel it didn't look to bad but once you got in the room it was small and had a lot to be desired. It supposedly had just been remodeled but it looked old. My son looked out the window and there was a strip less bar right across the street and by the area you really didn't want to go walking around you parked in the back and the hotel really looked old you made sure your car was locked and went to your room. Not a hotel I would really recommend to anyone.”

• The rooms were at least clean.
• It was not in the area we put in for it to be. I was very disappointed.

“It was not in the Disneyland area it was very far away in a industrial area. I was left in an area I knew nothing about with my kids and was basically told there was nothing.”

“I would never recommend this hotel to family or friends, may be not even my worst enemy. I did not have any sleep because the room smelled so bad, even after airing it out for two hours. This place looked bad because even the paint job was done without removing framed artwork or fixtures.”

• The lobby was clean, but the rest of the hotel was not.
• Rooms were old and not well maintained; towels thin as paper, bugs in bed!

“After stopping at two other days inn and suites on harbor blvd. We drove into this hotel and were extremely disappointed. It was not to our expectations. The rooms were old (although freshly painted), the carpet was dirty, the maid service was lacking, never refilled tissues, refrigerator was dirty, and there were bugs in the beds, police activity one afternoon. I would not stay there again or recommend this hotel. The lobby was clean, but the breakfast was dry cereal and cheap Costco pre packaged Danish, with watered down job and stale bread. A huge disappointment.”

• For a 2-star hotel with bad reviews, I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased with whole experience.
• Housekeeping staff place their carts right in front of elevator and do not move out of the way.

“I was expecting dirty, run down but instead got very clean with a pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna, a nice continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi. A bit of a drive to Disneyland however very easy (just down the street) and for the price, I feel I got more than my money's worth. Would highly recommend and will use their services anytime I'm in Anaheim!”

• Not too far from Vietnamese community.
• I reserve for one bed, but when I change to two beds, they charge me $20 extra.

“I was assigned to the 3rd floor, I ask to stay in 1st floor, but they said no room in first floor available even I saw some room in 1st floor is no occupied. When I go to the 3rd floor, my room is not clean and ready, and I have to wait about 20 minutes for the maid to clean up.”

• Absolutely nothing was clean and appliances did not work in kitchenette.
• Nobody spoke English asked to have floor cleaned did a crappy job.

“Both of these hotels were in very poor condition especially the Days inn Santa Ana Anaheim the Rodeway inn in south El Monte was a little better but not much. Did not enjoy our stay in the days inn at all needs to be shut down or removed off your list.”

• It was very attractive for the price. Big room & bathroom, very clean.
• The location was slightly unattractive. It was next door to an auto repair shop and loud children's homes.

“I was pleasantly surprised that with the price the inn would be so nice. The lobby was very nice, the room was very nice, the continental breakfast was good and the amenities were great. There were loud children that lived next floor as well as an auto repair shop on the other side, but the noise was only bothersome when outside.”

• The shower was nice and the TV had quite a few channels.
• The building itself looked very old and about to collapse. The "hotel" did not look like a hotel at all.

“While we were looking for this hotel, it was quite hard for us to find it as a traveler and we did not know the streets well. More so, every day's inn hotel we ran to was not the one we were supposed to stay at. Ironically. We ran into two of the wrong day's inn until we ended in our correct one. And this day's inn was the worst of them all. To blatantly put it, the place looked like it was in poor condition. The sign for it looked like someone ran over it with markers, the concrete floor on the upper levels felt crooked and tilted. A very unsafe feeling. The building looked old and wanted to tip over. On the inside however, at least I can say it was clean. Even though the hotel was ugly, it looked like a motel. Don't expect the blankets to be of modern look or high fashion of that sort; you will not find it here. The walls were also painted a cheese-orange-yellow. Hideous. Anyway, I was surprised to find that what some rooms had, others did not for the same price. One had a kitchen, with a stove. While another did not have the kitchen but had a fridge and a microwave. The microwave was a plus, though, and the layout was a bit different between the two rooms I am talking about. Also, the first room I had didn't even have a clock! While the second one did. Be prepared to carry a watch or something. Sleep is one of my major concerns when it comes to hotels. Fortunately, this one provided a fairly good night sleep and I don't sleep easily either. The pillows were fluffy and the mattress was alright. Also, if you end up with a room that has a second door within the room that leads to the room next to you, you're doomed because you will hear noise from your neighbor if they are loud. Again, the place was at least clean. They only give you a tiny body of shampoo though, that'll waste by your first use, for some, and maybe you can take two from that bottle. They also give you a bar soap. Neither is that much special to brag about.”

• Easy to find and affordable.
• Bigger coffee cups in rooms.

“Unlike the other reviews about this hotel that were bad (which I did read before booking) I really didn't see any of the problems that they had expressed. If you are going to stay in Santa Ana on auto row, of course you are going to need a car. Yes there is a strip club across the street, but you don't really notice it if you aren't looking for it. It is a really nice place and you don't have to go if you don't want to. Overall the hotel was good and I would stay there again if I am traveling down to the social area.”

• The hotel and staff were nice. The spa area was open in the winter months.
• I could not postpone my trip without a fee. The hotel was in a bad area.

“I tried to postpone my stay a week in advance and I was told to call back 24 hours before my trip. I was upset about this because the weather was bad and I can only check the weather a week in advance. I was basically forced to go at a time that was unknowable for circumstances that were out of my control. I will not use your service again, and I will inform others of this experience.”

• Location convenient for the Anaheim convention center.
• Dirty, although freshly painted. Quite neglected!

“I would never recommend this motel. They had recently painted the walls orange and neglected to remove the oak picture frames which were covered in the same orange paint. Couch insetting area was filthy-we did not choose to use it! Hope this helps you out. We can be very tolerant normally. You may want to check into this further!”

• It was 15 minutes from Disneyland.
• The hotel was old, shabby, no hot water, furniture and counters damaged, shady location for a family.

“I was very disappointed in the hotel. It looked fine from the outside but looked like everything has been beaten or was falling apart in the room. The light switches were broken, no hot water, all of the furniture had burn marks, the bathroom fan sounded like the only thing holding it in place was the ceiling cover. I have seen mom's and pop's places that was better condition than this hotel.”

• Quiet. Good furniture.
• Across the street from strip joint. Old bathroom furnishings.

“This hotel is a cheaper alternative to the higher priced hotels surrounding Disney. It was 4 miles south and a convenient drive. It was, however, not in the greatest part of town--across the street from a strip joint and the bathroom furnishings were old. The furniture and decorations were good, however. I would not feel particularly safe staying there by myself as a woman as the corridors are outside and the surrounding area is not the best. I would not stay there again.”

• It had okay continental breakfast.
• Staff not very helpful or particularly nice.

“It was ok I guess for 1 night. We wanted a non-smoking room and were told promptly that there were none available. We told them we had a child with us but the desk person didn't even acknowledge that. There were cigarette stains and burn marks all over the place. Found a hair on our towels in the bathroom. The fridge was old and smelly and I was afraid to even look in the stove for fear of what might be living there. The heater did not work very well it would either be really hot or really cold.”
