10/10 Exceptional

Convient location centrally located for access to many things around the hotel. Staff personel was very open and more than friendly to make me feel welcomed and that away from home feeling made my stay that much more comforting. I will recommend to anyone that is looking for a hotel.

Typical Motel with some design

It is a typical motel, no services. The neighborhood is mot exceptional. The place looks slightly better than a regular motel, has some outside design towards the main street.
Thomas, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bathroom smell so musty that I must keep it closed at all time. I’d spend as little time as possible in there. Perhaps main floor rooms are used more Often may not smell like the 2nd floor bathroom. They renovated the motel to be an inn, it’s decent but the carpet was kind of dirty when I walked in. Very strong ordor of odor spray that was def a turn off. 2 Chinese, Vietnamese and pizza across the street was def plus. However I won’t stay there again cause I prefer a nicer name brand hotel. Thus hotel tonight App had this inn on their site, so I went for it. Def not for me

2/10 Poor

The room was filthy! Mold was ALL over the bathroom and there was what appeared to be blood splattered on the wall in the bathroom. I will be reporting them to the health department. The manager Raul was completely rude and unprofessional!

If you are looking for a very good bargain hotel stay, this property is one of the best. The manager is exceptional, the rooms are decent, and the location convenient.

If you need to run errands and visit friends and family nearby, this is a very good hotel to stay for a few days.

Convenient location. The hotel is close to the freeway, dining and shopping. My room was fully renovated. The only downside is i could hear the family upstairs LOUD & clear. I only slept about 2.5 hours which was horrible, i had my nursing state license exam the next day. Other than that, everything was great. They will ask for a $100 deposit fee that isnt mentioned on expedia. I traveled on my own, i felt safe enough to proceed to stay the night there.

No coffee provided but comfortable beds

Comfortable bed. Room was comfortable. Shower head too low for folk that are 6ft5in. Probably would not have cost any extra to put them higher when they were building the place. Dirty freezer compartment of the mini fridge in the room. No coffee. Nothing. Not in the room. Not on the premises. Probably the thing that irked me the most. Actually his comment irked me more. "Go down a few blocks to the Starbucks". Very disappointed. A coffee machine in reception could work well with minimal risk to anyone. Otherwise coffee machines in the rooms.

MARTHA, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property was absolutely horrible. I read the reviews before but thought I would still take the chance since it was the only hotel within walking distance from family. Rude front desk and staff, the rooms were disgusting, walls all covered in nasty grime and god knows what other colors, walls warped, water damage to the floor, and mold around the sink and mirror above it. I will say the bedding was nice… I think. Disappointing.

Worst Hotel in Town

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at in my life. The guy at the front desk was extremely rude and unreasonable for many reasons. There was about 7-8 cars in the parking lot with probably 50 spaces available and told me that any guests would need to pay for parking. Avoid at all costs.

You pay for what you get

Room condition was ok. Musty cigarette smell when we first walked in. Had to turn a/c unit to filter air. Bathroom not cleaned properly as hair was still on sink counter. Also no wash cloths were included. Some mold in shower area too. TV did not work until we figured out someone had disconnected the power cord which seemed intentional as it was located well behind the entertainment unit. Questioned cleanliness of room as food from previous guest was still in the refrigerator. Overall for the price and if you can overlook the issues described, decent place to stay if it's just for one or two nights.
Raul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My car was in the shop so needed to stay close to my work since I live 42 miles away. For the price, this was a very nice stay. The rooms are decent and functional. Also very spacious. The on-site coffee house was closed. It was very quiet and in a safe area. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Hotels.com should verify the accuracy of the photo

Hotels.com needs to verify the accuracy of the pictures ... all the pics look amazing very clean and modern when you arrived at your room the photoshop magic is gone!! For the price I pay is ok, however, the pictures create a false expectation...

Perfectly fine place to stay!

I've stayed here twice and both times the room was clean and comfortable, check-in was fast, wifi worked fine, and the rate was inexpensive. I do wish there was a coffeemaker in the room though. Other than that, no complaints.
Benjamin, 2-night trip

Bathroom trash wasn’t taken out and I think it was diapers in there, so it left a smell. Doors looked dirty inside too.

Great location, attractive, small, friendly feel, great price. The owner was always handy and always helpful.
2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room itself was disgusting. ex.Toothpaste on the wall moldy mirrors, buckling walls, broken wall outlets etc etc etc. I have pictures. It didn't have enough towels for the two guest and no additional towels were furnished and no cleaning happened during the 3 day stay. Front desk person asked for IDs of all people staying and questioned me repeatedly asked about who was staying in the room. Questioning and threatening that no people were allowed to visit or I would be changed an additional $100. The pet fee was not listed so I had to pay that upon arrival.It was like staying with an intrusive neighbor (their staff) who seemed to be spying on me the whole visit.

Ok for one or 2 nights. Needs better cleaning. Bare down to the bone type of hotel. Needs to remove the breakfast pictures from its website. They don't have breakfast or coffee available for customers. Misleading with the pics on website.

2/10 Poor

This place was disappointing. We booked here because most reviews were decent, pictures of property looked good and location was convenient; also it’s pet friendly and charge for pet was only $35. Check in process was quick, plenty of parking available but our room was disgusting to say the least. Stains on the floor and walls (some looked like blood). Bed skirt had white stains, floor and furniture was dirty, room had a weird smell. Needless to say I did not stay the night. I don’t think rooms are cleaned thoroughly which is expected specially because of COVID. When I went back to the office and explained to the clerk why I was not staying he mentioned my deposit and my pet fee could be refunded but if I wanted a reimbursement for the room fee I had to contact Expedia directly which I did right away. Expedia representative said they couldn’t do anything because payment had been collected at the property and they (Stone Villa Inn) had to process the refund. When I contacted the office at Stone Villa again clerk stated he could not provide a refund and insisted I contacted Expedia again. Overall this was a terrible experience, trying to find a room for the night on a Holiday after you’ve been driving all day is not exactly the way to start a vacation. Please don’t book here it is not worth your money.
