We are from out of town, visiting our college daughter. When I booked this hotel, I thought it was probably comparible to a similar value motel--which was completely fine, pretty good even! Boy I was wrong. Our Room was absolutely filthy, the mirrors were smudged with makeup, and spit. The backroom floors had crumbs and dirt and there was old matches that had been lit sticking out of the side of the mirror. The bed was lopsided, and felt like sleeping on a foam pad over a piece of wood. Everything smelled like smoke even though it was a non smoking room, and there were no towels= we had to go downstairs and ask for towels. Awful, would never stay here again. Sketchy people all around, hanging out in the parking lot, and one woman was hanging out on the stair case to our room, so we had to ask her to move everytime to please move her radio, art supplies, and all her things everytime we passed. I'm surprised they don't charge by the hour.

I had no towels in my room when I got their, ask for them to be there when I came back very late (11 pm) and still no towels. Went to the office and ask for towels, waited a long time and then found him in the laundry room and he was still looking for a proper bath towel, I said just give me something now! Also, no hand soft in the bathroom, a plastic cup to make very bac coffee, not even a proper cup. Very old hotel, I would not recommend it to anyone.

Cheap

No Internet. Having to use the security window early in the evening makes me wonder about safety. Other people's hairs in the bathroom

4/10 Fair

The people were extremely nice. But I arrived a little early and they gave me a room which apparently didn’t log it. So at 5 AM there were two people trying to get into my room thank god I had the extra lock in place. Then the shower didn’t work and when I notified them they went in to fix it. So my second morning it still didn’t work.

It is a noisy area, and not very clean. Excellent staff though.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed.

We stayed her for graduation. One room still had urine marks around the toilet. Black hairs all over the bathroom floor and in the towels. Four person occupancy and was given one bath towel, one hand towel, and one wash cloth. The beds did not have a mattress pad and the sheets were so thin you could feel the mattress material. They didn’t even put the toilet paper rolls on the holder.

Bathroom was dirty, there was hair all everywhere. Bed was dingy and felt every spring in the mattress. Not a comfortable room at all.

Druggies screaming and banging something that sounded like a metal pipe all night in a room below. Couldn't get much sleep.

2/10 Poor

Could not stay here; too grossed out. No A/C-was not told or found any instructions on “kill switch” but that wasn’t the main reason for leaving. I was promptly refunded due to cockroaches in bathroom and bloodstains on the lamp - who knows what else I would have found if I had stayed more that 2 minutes. Oh and cops and paramedics were entering a room when I arrived for some reason. Drove 30 minutes to Oroville for a nice hotel since everything else in town was sold out. Won’t use Travelocity again either!

DIRTY

Overall this hotel is atrocious and no one should stay there, ever. But even the worst hotel (and this is) have a few things going for them, so here they are: 1) location - it is in downtown Chico within walking distance of the university 2) the sheets were clean and the mattress was comfortable 3) the parking lot was brightly lit 4) the front desk clerk was friendly and helpful Do not in any way let those 4 things lead you to believe that this hotel is ok, because isn't. This hotel is DIRTY and DISGUSTING. There was dirty laundry in the closet, a clearly used-for-s*x towel behind the door, the floors were too dirty to walk on, and the real kicker is that the shower and tub were completely unusable. By unusable I mean there was a hole in the wall in place of the contraption that would send water out of the shower head, and there was no plug to use it as a tub. I asked to use an iron, which they gave me, but it was filthy. The ironing board was broken. The cabinet doors were broken. The sink was stained. The mirrors were dirty. I stayed at this hotel out of sheer desperation because my original reservation was lost (either by the hotel or hotels.com, not sure which) and every other hotel near the college was sold out due to"family weekend". I was there to visit my daughter so location was my #1 priority. This hotel is gross. Trust me. BTW - I have spent 30-50 nights a year in hotels every year for 20+ years and have never left a bad review.

8/10 Very good

Hippy check in guy was awesome and friendly. The room is what you expect at this price point. It's rough but it was clean and staff seemed eager to assist with anything. Good little place to bail for a night and party in Chico. You can walk everywhere.

The 1st room given to me was dirty, no towels, the staff said the room needed repairs. 2nd room, was still dirty, no towels. But at least the a/c was cold.

My night check in manager Patrick did an excellent job getting me in my room fast and efficient not only did he help me get set up but also made sure that I had what I needed for my room The night manager Patrick did an excellent job and I would recommend him for any other position available as he would excel as a leader thank you Patrick for your attention to detail Steve Wilson

Some of the clientele was very questionable. The employees were all very nice and even had to intervine with questionable tenants. The location was great for my needs. Next time I'll try the place across the street or around the corner. The door jambs on some of the rooms look like the door had been kicked in, door was fine, but the jamb leaves a question of what happened.

Shown multiple rooms. None with sheets on beds. Finally a room with sheets. No towels. Filthy bathroom
