The doors are constantly slamming,,very noisy. Right when you get to sleep, someone’s door will slam, and wake you up, startled! One of the lightbulbs in the area by the coffee kept flickering on and off, which was annoying.

We stayed here because we went to a concert at the Pechanga Arena. Hotel was nice, clean, quiet and walkable to/from the arena. Bed and pillows were comfortable. I liked that the room had a fridge and microwave. Complimentary hot breakfast was great with many options. Hotel staff was friendly. I would definitely stay again.

I would like to thank the staff at the breakfast kitchen for working diligently and efficiently, serving many guests beyond capacity with dedication and patience. The variety of the breakfast menu was excellent. The front desk staff were very accommodating and courteous. Room cleaning could use slight improvement, particularly with the daily refill of sanitary items, water, and coffee. The hotel would also benefit from noise-reduction windows, as sirens and traffic outside can be disruptive. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would love to return to this property.

The price that I paid was not what I initially thought it would be charges, Otherwise, I would’ve booked another place. We stayed two instead of the 3 nights I originally reserved because the 3rd night was super high for the price. Other than that, it was ok and the breakfast was a nice variety of hot and cold in the mornings.
