Most of the stay was good but the next morning there was no hot water for a shower. That is basically failure. The lady at the front desk refunded some of the money for the room but it was unfortunate for all concerned. Everything else seemed ok but no hot water cannot be ignored. For that reason I have to...

This was an overnight stop and was a great value. Our room was clean, the beds comfortable and the staff was helpful. It was a pleasant evening and we were able to relax on the little patio outside our room and enjoy the view of the pool and fields beyond. Even though you are on a busy street and by... More

We left Vegas a day early and fancied a stop off before LA. We found the California Inn through Hotels.com at short notice and paid $41.00 for two in a king room with breakfast. The Motel is just off I-15 and it was a really pleasent surprise. Big rooms, very comfy bed and a lovely pool. The Motel has full... More

10 out of 10. We stayed for just the one night on our way through to the Grand Canyon, but a great first impression of California. Great friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was all you can eat, fresh and well presented. I recommend this hotel if this is the budget you are working to.

The staff was friendly...very friendly although I could have caught a buzz if I stayed in the hallway too long. The hallway reeked of marijuana when we arrived. The room was clean but probably could use some rehabbing. the pool looked awesome but I did not swim. Breakfast was acceptable all the usual cereal, toast, hard boiled eggs were nice.... More

Older hotel. But staff was friendly. Get room on front or inner room as there is a bar on back side. Noisy till 2:00 . Great value for one night stay. Breakfast was nice!! Chips in the paint- old doors but clean! Bed nice and comfy. Free wifi!

The cost was very affordable especially since we found a coupon in a magazine. The bed was extremely comfortable. Was hard to wake up in the morning because it was so comfy. The breakfast was fair. Better than some. We thought this hotel was a decent place to stay. Staff was friendly.

This hotel isn't expensive so I guess you get what you pay for; a rather small, basic room which is pretty worn. A terrace door with old looking chainlocks that gives onto a mini balcony with no view. A very loud ac/heater. A missing drainstopper. Limited and rather fat breakfast options. Not much to do. But we were just staying... More
