I booked here because I thought the name would be a good bet. This place used to be the Sandman, as was evident shining through the paper HoJo sign taped over it.

We tried two rooms before canceling our stay and going somewhere else. Both rooms were filthy, furniture had thick layer of dust, rugs filthy, toilets in both rooms had problems (in one, it was cracked and kept running; in the other, the handle was snapped off).

It truly felt like HoJo took over this flea trap and had done nothing to update it or even to clean up. It's in a run-down part of town, across from an adult shop, down the street from a "Hustler" club, with police sirens and the freeway as a backdrop.

Very poor choice!

I have never in all my travels for work ran into a management team that was as unprofessional or lacked the common customer service skills as I did here.

This hotel is about on par with what many families traveling the highways and byways in the ol'truckster have come to expect. Clean room, working air conditioner, towels. etc. The bed is actually very comfy. So why the low rating? It's simple, this hotel is right under a freeway overpass in a not-the-safest section of town.

Redlands used to be a sleepy suburb/bedroom community of LA and Orange County with a lot of pretention wrapped in it's "historic" past. Now, it's the closest enclave of "nice" to the drug-addled pit that is San Bernardino. Word of advice: make yourself very familiar with the FBI's wanted list before you let your kids play with the "polite young man" in the adequate-for-road-trippers pool. Best advice: skip this hotel and head west on the 10 one more exit. There's another hotel that is well lit, at least, and newer.

We were on our way to LA and stopped on the way as it was a Best Western franchise. The hotel has nice and clean rooms and really good value for the money. They also allow pets and have a good continental breakfast in the morning. there are plenty of fast food franchise walking distance and a restaurant next door did help...
