Rancho California Inn

Stayed here on the friday of valentines weekend. It was super clean and nice inside. They had a microwave, fridge, a/​c and direct TV with a flatscreen. I was actually impressed. It was $ 111.00 because it was on hotwire and it was a holiday weekend. It did the job for 1 night. The surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy looking but I didn’t encounter any problems at all. All non-​smoking rooms, free WI-​Fi and parking which was great.

This place is a nightmare. We checked in late and went to our room. When we walked in the room smelled like sh*t and I felt like someone might murder us. I made my husband turn on the light to the bathroom because the room was just creepy and when he did the toilet was full of sh*t. Well at least that makes sense why the room stunk. We immediately left and went back to the office. The woman at the office insisted her rooms were clean. I told her there was no way we were staying there and she refused to refund us. She offered us another room but we ended up dropping the key in the night slot and paid to stay at the embassy suites because we were so disgusted. I would rather throw my money away then sleep there. Bad juju all around this spot. Definitely would never recommend to anyone.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Place was dirty and had COCKAROACHES, wasn’t in the room for no more then 15 minutes was charged 65 $ room cleaning fee…(I did use the restroom and put my bag on the bed) the lady argues with me 15 minutes saying they had no bugs. She started to refund me my money only after another customer came in the lobby. Once again I advise you to stay away from this place.

I booked a room last night and canceled it today. The lady who answered the phone was extremely rude and inconsiderate regarding my cancelation. I expressed to her about an review that stated there were bedbugs but she didn’t deny it or assure me that they didn’t have them. Basically I was charged $ 28 for nothing. I wouldn’t dare take a chance of encountering bedbugs so hopefully they enjoy the $ 28.

I stayed there last night… I checked in at the front desk, and it was hot as hell. no ac. they checked you in with a 3×7 piece of paper… the lady asked what type of car n color im driving & who else is staying…
It was hot and needed to shower, the towels were not cleaned, they had hairs on them. I woke up this a. m with bites all over and very itchy… Im hoping my i get my $ back after showing them my doctor visit bill… SMFH

We were pleasantly surprised. Booking the room was easy and when we checked into our room I was happy that it was super clean. Had all the amenities we like. Frig, microwave coffee, etc. I give 5 stars because this motel deserves it. They take pride in this place and it shows. We are rebooking for tonight and we will definitely stay here again.

The hotel is overpriced. The lady at the front desk wasn’t exactly rude, but she wasn’t friendly either. We did get charged extra for having a third person, which I thought was weird for a room that had two Queen beds. The room wasn’t really cleaned as there was trash behind the night stand and underneath beds. The bathroom is tiny and they only give you two small towels. The pool hadn’t been cleaned. It is within walking distance to Olé Town Temecula, however the neighborhood itself is pretty sketchy. I would say this place is one step above a dump motel.

Convenient location to Old Town Temecula. Free Parking.
Pros:
+Walking distance to Old Town Temecula, about 0.4 miles away
+Affordable room. We paid $ 77 on
for Sunday night over Memorial Day weekend
+Updated TV and furniture
+Clean bathroom
+in-​room fridge and microwave
Cons:
–Noisy. Right by the freeway
–Noisy. You can hear the neighbors very clearly and when they walk outside of your room
–Surrounding neighborhood (gas stations and liquor stores) a little sketchy. We were approached by a few people asking for spare change and walked by a few people just loitering around the strip mall next to the motel.
Other items to note:
Room includes small blow dryer, linens, towels, conditioning shampoo (no separate hair conditioner), soap. No body lotion.

Room was better than I expected it was updated. My boyfriend had made the reservation and we both went in to check in at the front desk. They asked if I was staying in the room as well and said if there was more than one person in a room there was an additional fee. Um what??? Who does that? It was only an additional 15 dollars but I have never, never gone into a hotel that charges you extra to have more than one person in a room. So leave you significant other and or child in the car while checking in because you will have to pay for them sharing a bed with you. Ridiculous.

Had to find a last minute room.
I was headed towards the motel 6 next store but decided to stop here first, and I’m glad I did.
The room rate was the same as the motel six maybe even $ 5 cheaper.
The room was very clean and very nice!
They have direct tv which is great!
The bed was comfy and clean, room had a nice flat screen!
The bathroom was nice all around!
Was very happy with the stay.

Pleasantly surprised. Stayed here since Mose of the surrounding places were booked. No frills little hotel but clean. Shower was clean. Pretty quiet for a Saturday night. Just some fwy noise but otherwise fine. I would stay here again.

«Rancho California Inn» is NOT NOT NOT pet friendly!!! In fact the lady was very rude. After I paid I was told to leave my dog in my car while I stayed there or leave!!! Is this legal??? The lady was very rude and the room smelled like insecticide and citrus. Maybe they have a bedbug problem. Needless to say I did NOT stay. YES she kept my money. I signed the room registration so it was too late. I was the only occupant at the Inn. It was about midnight when I was told to leave. NOT very safe to be packing up your stuff at that hour. It seems I was deliberately set up. I went on to stay at another nearby La Q Inn and was welcomed with my dog. They helped me get my things and my dog to my room safely. I saved $ 15.00 per night and had a warm breakfast at La Q Inn. My credit card company refunded me $ 50.00 of the $ 88. they charged to my card. This is not over!!! «Star Slider»

Very nice hotel! Clean! Friendly owner! Beautifully decorated! A perfect place to stay! This is a hidden gem of Temecula! Close to the freeway and Old Town! Peaceful! Love the comfortable beds! Happy we stayed here! We will be back!

This review is on the service we received and not the quality of the room. Please advise we were pleased with the room. The room was clean and comfortable and the price for the area was not as steep as the other locations. However my check-​in experience left me infuriated.
My boyfriend and I booked a Saturday in July as we were in town for a tour with Devine Wine Tours. We arrived Saturday afternoon, I advised the older Indian man at the desk that we were checked-​in for one night under my name. He shuffles through his papers and states there isn’t one under my name. My mistake, it was under my boyfriends name. He proceeds to comment «Okay, better. Yes, we have under the man. Not the woman». I brushed off the comment. He asks for a card, and looks at me «I don’t need your money» and looks at my boyfriend. NOW I’m a little irritated. He processes the paperwork and asks for a signature and says «I don’t need you to sign”-points at me «I want the man of the relationship to sign». Then he continues with the information and says «There is a $xx deposit for incidental charges. Just in case she parties too much and breaks something» as he laughs. My boyfriend is a nice guy so he humors the guy.
As we finish, we grab our stuff and he makes a final comment telling my boyfriend somewhere along the lines of «keep her in check» at that point in was SO PISSED and have NEVER felt so discriminated in my life!
The only reason I didn’t tell the old man off was because I didn’t want to argue with and old man who’s cultural views have not been changed even though he is in AMERICA. I understand that probably in his day in India, women were considered mens property. But PLEASE, you live in the US now! I don’t expect you to conform to our ways but if you are in CUSTOMER SERVICE in another country, I think it should be REQUIRED to understand RIGHTS. I’m sure I could make this a legal issue, but it’s just an old man who is stuck in his ways. He wasn’t rude at all. He was humorous, but if I didn’t give him the benefit of the doubt this would have turned into a completely different outcome.

I feel like the price we paid for this room was not worth what we got. If you’re expecting service with a smile here, you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t expect five-​star service at a place like this, but a little friendliness or even a smile wouldn’t hurt. The room was clean, but there was absolutely zero water pressure in the shower. You would be better off washing yourself in the sink. I’m not sure how their checkout process works, but when we walked out of our room, there was a gentleman standing out there asking us if we were checking out, and he tok our room key. Will have to watch our card for any strange charges.
It served its purpose of a place to crash after a wedding, but I wouldn’t stay here again, nor would I recommend this place to others. I was just so put off by how unfriendly the staff here was.

I had read old reviews and was sketch to come and stay here but I am really glad that I did! I booked a room here with one king sized bed for one week, 60 $ a day and of course the price rockets up towards the weekends but still you cant beat these low prices. I came into an empty parking lot, checked in at the office and was greeted by friendly staff. When I walked into the room I was surprised to see how nice it was. It is clean and inviting. The room comes with A. C, FREE WIFI, hot water, a mini fridge, coffee maker, bar of soap, makeup removers +, bunch of lamp lights, ironing board, iron, blow dryer, flat screen tv, and a microwave. When your gone the room gets cleaned up by their service so it was nice to come back to the motel room with toilet paper restocked and fresh towels. Nothing was missing of course. Also it is an easy walk to Old Town which is convenient.
I overall love this place and I love the staff. I highly suggest you come and stay here when you are in Temecula!

Cant beat the price and the location of this place. Its a motel so don’t expect anything special in terms of service. The room was very clean and nicely appointed. The microwave and fridge were a major plus! Everything has been renovated. The mattress was very good quality and i slept like a baby. The only downsides were the towels-​super rough, and the door was hard to close. If you pushed hard enough the door would open. So please double check your door is closed before leaving. Oh and the shower water temp kept fluctuating. I would definitely still recommend this place. Walking distance to old town.

I Absolutely LOVED This Hotel!
We Were On A Budget And This Was Way More Than We Expected!
Pros:
–King Sized Bed
–Modern Features (Granite Counter Top Sink, Nicely Painted, Modern Furniture)
–MICROWAVE & MINI FRIDGE!
–Good Sized Flat Screen
–Direct TV
–Good Pressure Shower Head! (So Rare!)
***And For The Ladies, MAKE UP REMOVING TOWLETTE! (I’ve Never Seen That Offered At A Hotel. Came In Handy!)
And The Staff Was So Friendly!
No Cons! Nothing But Awesome. Definitely Would Stay Here Again!

A solid 5 considering location and price.
Convenient location by I-​15. Very clean room with comfy bed, refrigerator, microwave, and single serving coffee maker. No closet so clothes on hangers exposed. Large screen tv with free premium channels and free WiFI. Soothing green walls and good air conditioning, No body lotion so don’t forget to pack.
You won’t go wrong if your looking for a place to stay comfortably and not break the bank.
Recommend!

For being a cheap motel across the street from a Motel 6, this place is actually pretty darn nice. It had a flat screen TV, we had a comfy king sized bed with warm covers, everything was pristine (let me tell you, housekeeping doesn’t miss a thing). The location was awesome, the room size was decent, and according to my husband, the front desk staff were very hospitable.
My only complaint: the bath tub was made for oompa loompas — it was seriously the tiniest bathtub I had ever seen. I wanted so so bad to take a nice, luxurious, warm bath after my long flight in from Austin, but I was instead scrunched up in something that maybe passed for an Olsen Twin’s bathtub, but definitely not a real person’s bathtub. Also, I didn’t bring shampoo or conditioner because they have exploded before during transport by plane, and the only ones at Rancho California were the crappy shampoo/​conditioner combo that made my hair frizz out and look all around horrible. Other than that, we couldn’t have been happier.
