Super 8 Hemet

Wonderful staff. Clean rooms, nice pool and even though they are renovating it was still quite.

Checked in and were immediately told about the $ 200 security deposit hold placed on our credit card. When we walked into the room it smelled of that air freshener used to cover up smoke, yup smelled that too. Told front desk because that’s part of the security deposit. We don’t smoke so don’t want this blamed on us. Air conditioning barely functional. Told desk clerk and maintenance crew had left already and there were no other rooms available. She did her best to help and gave us a fan to use. This is one of the newly remodeled rooms. Great water pressure but shower head couldn’t be adjusted any lower and water leaked through curtain. This could be the reason the carpet is wet near the bathroom.

Pleasantly surprised nicely renovated hotel perfect for the local softball game fields. Staff is very accommodating. Erica the morning manager went out of her to assist us in a second night accommodation.

We just checked in. Only one room was available… a suite. We paid $ 150 plus a $ 200 deposit Yikes!!! When you live in Vegas, that is mind boggling! Lol. However, it is graduation weekend so I understand rooms will be high and we were actually lucky to get a room at all, without a reservation.
Front desk staff was very friendly. Room is clean and the bed is super comfy. The shower has shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is continental breakfast from 7am to 9am or maybe it’s 10. I don’t know. I can’t remember, It’s late.
There is a Tae Kwon do studio next door if you wake up with the urge to kick something. Also in the same lot is a Wendy’s, in case you get a late night frosty craving. Not sure what else is out there … It’s dark and I don’t really care because I plan on going to find me some local grub tomorrow.

My friends and I needed a place to stay over one night for the Temecula Balloon and Wine festival, everywhere that was affordable had no vacancy or was closer to San Diego. So I took my chances and book Saturday night at Super 8. At first, I was expecting a bad experience especially with all the negative reviews from Unilocalers but to my surprise, I really felt I got more than what I paid for. The receptionist was very friendly and the rooms were nicely renovated. For $ 99, it truly surpass my and my friends expectations.

Company book this hotel for me last year around 4÷25÷14 it was horrible, so when the same trip came up and I learned I would be staying at same super 8 I was ready to pay to stay at a better hotel myself.
But to my surprise it has been remodeled since my last stay. Much more comfortable this trip.
Check pictures for a before and after.

This hotel reminds me of Lost in Los Vegas. I walked in the room and it smelled like a combination of old stale smoke and dead animals. So I asked to change. They said they were fully booked but offered some air freshener. So I went back up, at that point I found the cleaning brush from the maid still in the toilet. Took a picture. So I figured I should check the bed, and sure enough only one fold back I found a dead bed bug and took another picture. While deciding what to do I tried to turn on the TV, no luck. So I went down and showed them the pictures. I also let them know that there seemed to be a series of parties in adjacent rooms. I asked to cancel my reservation and found availability at the Hampton inn where my colleagues were staying. The front desk at the super 8 said the only way to cancel was through Expedia. But this was booked by the company so that would have been complicated. By then they managed to find a smaller room on the first floor. Cleaner and quieter. This is not a place I would recommend for a family with kids. The second room was clean enough, I only found a broken plastic fork on the floor. Staff was nice enough, just doing their jobs to the minimum requirement. I slept fairly well in the end, however it did take me twenty minutes to actually be secure enough about bed bugs to actually get in bed. Throughout the night I felt itchy and never really got into deep sleep. With any luck I didn’t bring anything home. I hope.

Pass on this hotel! Because of budget I typically stay at cheap hotels so I’m used to not having a lot of amenities. However, this hotel was in a whole other LOWER league. Our room (209) had a very funny smell. The carpet was very dingy. The bathroom was small. Our TV was an old out of date Zenith tv that would lose the picture. We stayed here for 2 days and the cleaning lady never came by to clean our room. The breakfast wasn’t anything to be proud of either.

Our goal to save money was successful by staying here. I wouldn’t come back. Smokey, chemical cleanser smell, bathtub stopper no worky, stained carpets, mono TV with a blown out speaker. There was a funny Facebook posting out of our experience. The pictures above the beds were two of the same, a lady driving a car. Our daughters room had two matching pictures of the New York skyline.

Eh… Typical Motel.
