This is a simple, budget motel but it's one of the better ones I've stayed at. The rooms are consistently clean, which is the most important thing to me. The manager is also very easy to work with, respectful, and always helpful when something comes up. If you're looking for an affordable, no-frills place that's clean and well managed, this is a solid choice. read more

Do NOT stay here. This place is beyond unprofessional and honestly one of the worst experiences I've ever had. They tried to take my deposit just because I had a friend briefly stop by, which already tells you everything about how they operate constantly looking for excuses to squeeze money out of guests. On top of that, when I was trying to leave in the morning, the office manager was literally standing behind my door, attempting to come into my room without any respect for privacy. It was invasive, uncomfortable, and completely unacceptable. I asked multiple times what he was doing, and he just stood there like it was normal behavior. The staff here are rude, opportunistic, and clearly only care about finding ways to charge you more. The rooms are poorly maintained, things are broken, and nothing works the way it should. Yet they still overcharge like this place is worth anything--which it absolutely is not. There are plenty of other motels nearby where you can spend just $10-$20 more and actually be treated with basic respect and decency. Save yourself the stress, the money, and the frustration. This place is shady, invasive, and completely unprofessional. Avoid it at all costs. This place doesn't even deserve one star if I could give it zero stars I most definitely would. read more

I usually don't write long reviews, but this stay really deserves one. I've stayed at plenty of budget motels before, but this place was beyond disappointing. The entire experience--from the condition of the room to how management treated guests--felt careless and stressful from start to finish. Let's start with the basics. My room looked like it hadn't been deep-cleaned in months. There were stains on the bedding and carpet, dust everywhere, and a weird smell coming from the bathroom. The air conditioning barely worked, and when I tried adjusting it, it just made a loud grinding noise. The smoke detector was missing, and the front door lock didn't feel secure. I immediately regretted checking in. Housekeeping was hit or miss--sometimes they showed up, sometimes not. When I asked the front desk for fresh towels, I was told they were "short-staffed" and I should wait. The next day, nothing changed. Trash bins overflowed in the hallways, which only made the place look more rundown. What bothered me more than the lack of cleanliness was how inconsistent and unfriendly the management was. Guests who stayed for more than a few days were suddenly asked to pay extra fees or even told to leave without a clear reason. I overheard a few arguments at the front desk where guests were being pressured to make additional payments, and honestly, the whole thing felt chaotic and unprofessional. When I tried asking about refund policies or price discrepancies, I got different answers every time, depending on who was working. Privacy was also an issue. On two occasions, staff entered my room without knocking first. One time, I was inside, and it scared me half to death. There were also cameras around the building with no clear signs saying where or why they were recording. It just didn't feel right. The prices listed online didn't match what I was charged at check-in. They added random "cleaning" and "security" fees that were never mentioned beforehand. When I tried to resolve the issue, I was told to "call back later" because the manager wasn't available. Spoiler: the manager was never available. Getting a refund or even a clear explanation turned into a complete waste of time. The staff seemed frustrated and overworked, which I get, but that doesn't excuse rude service. I saw employees arguing with each other at the front desk, and guests often got caught in the middle. One guest in front of me was scolded for asking about bedbugs. Watching that made me realize that my problems weren't isolated. Another thing that stood out was the lack of accessibility for guests with mobility issues. Ramps were blocked by storage items, and certain doors labeled as exits were locked. I didn't see any updated fire extinguisher tags or emergency maps in my room either, which is concerning. Outside the motel, the trash area reeked. It looked like cleaning chemicals and other waste were being dumped down outdoor drains. There isn't any recycling setup, and the whole area around the laundry room smelled harsh and chemical. For a region that prides itself on environmental standards, that's unacceptable. Between the upkeep, staff attitude, and general lack of order, it's clear this motel isn't being managed properly. Even budget motels should at least feel safe, clean, and respectful. This one doesn't. I ended up checking out early because I didn't feel comfortable staying any longer. If you just need a cheap overnight stay, you might think this place looks fine online--but believe me, what you see online is not what you'll get in person. I hope the owners eventually take guest feedback seriously and fix the many issues that make this property so unpleasant. Until that happens, you're better off staying somewhere else, even if it costs a few dollars more. read more

This place is actually not bad. Manager has been very helpful and kind, always offering new towels and if everything is ok.

I come here frequently and it's always clean and owner is always super nice. Definitely recommend it's very affordable.

For being the most affordable stay I could find in the area, I had no issues. I needed a place to stay for a night and I got one. Sure, it's a bare bones motel, but I got what I paid for. A bed, a working AC unit, decent TV with plenty of DirecTV cable channels, no bugs, no grime or filth, and no customer service issues. I've stayed at nicer places of course, but for the price, this was better than I expected. read more

Wow. How do I loathe thee, let me count the ways. The owner of this place is a real lowlife. He treated me like garbage as soon as I arrived. I made my reservation on priceline a couple of days in advance and I was sick and tired when I arrived. The last thing I needed or expected was to have this mean dude yelling at me over and over. I kept telling him I understand the rules and that he doesn't need to worry, I don't smoke or drink and I don't intend to have guests but he told me, "shut up and listen to me". I couldn't believe the nerve of this guy. Anyway, I will rant more later but let me start with the itemized list of factual and objective problems with the Chester Inn: 1. Both their own website and the priceline website said that there was a security deposit of $25 but upon arrival he demanded $50. 2. Deposit could only be paid in cash and the manager refused to give me a receipt until I argued with him literally for about 3 minutes. I could not believe the gall of this man to expect me to be yelled at, then to hand over cash with no receipt. He eventually scribbled out a completely illegible hand written receipt ON A NOTE CARD, which would be useless to prove anything, but whatever. I accepted it because I wanted to move on with my life. 3. Wifi is included in the room but it did not work for 90% of my 5 day stay here. I was quarantining due to Covid so this was a huge issue as I needed to take work calls via zoom and I was not able to complete a single one while I was there. Additionally it was just a huge bummer to not be able to stream any kind of videos, even YouTube on the lowest settings didn't work over wifi. I had to use my phones Hotspot to have any kind of entertainment or functionality from my laptop. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU NEED TO WORK TELECOMMUTE. Apparently they are "working on the issue" is what I saw on another review... Okay. Y'all been working on that for last 2 years and no solution? 4. There is NO COOKING IN THE ROOM rule for some reason. I have a hot plate and rice cooker I keep in my car to make simple foods like noodle and oatmeal and rice with veggies while I'm traveling, so I was supposed to just buy pre-made food and keep it in the fridge? Okay, I tried that but the fridge FROZE ALL MY FOOD SOLID OVERNIGHT. So in the morning my overnight oats were a block of ice as was my lunchmeat, cheese, and sparkling waters. Yet somehow the sorbet I put into the freezer compartment was halfway liquid?? WTF kinda backward ass fridge curse is this??! Wow I don't even under. So whatever. Screw that guy and screw this place. I brought my own stuff in and I COOKED EVERY DAY I WAS THERE. The manager can kiss my grits (which are delicious btw, even when made in a crappy motel room). 5. The bed squeaked incredibly loud. Like the scene in Delicatessen. Oh and the bed was also crinkly and lumpy because there was a bedspread and thick plastic liner under the fitted sheet. 6. The cheap laminate floor was rippled and swollen from all the water damage from what I assume must have been flooding because I had to wear shoes the whole time even inside because there were sharp catching edges on EVERY PLANK of the floor. 7. I was taking a nap shortly after settling into my room when the owner or manager guy called my room DEMANDING I bring jumper cables out to help someone. WTF?? Of course I did go out and grab jumper cables but WTF?? 8. Upon check-in I confirmed that on check-out in Monday morning at 7am there would be someone available to check the room and give me my deposit back and he said YES HE IS UP AT 5 EVERY MORNING. On the day of my check out I called the office 5 times before he finally picked up and then he took almost 20 minutes to get to my room, and spent a full 5 minutes inspecting the room (was he counting the cigarette burns that where already there? 9. The room stank to high heaven of cigarettes which caused my allergies and asthma to flare up, so thanks for that! All the benefits of smoking without even having to light up! What joy! Okay. I feel like I've said enough in this list. So if you you like RUDE AND INSULTING management, rooms that REEK OF Cigarettes, cutting your feet open on cheese grater floors, comforters with lots of spikey melted cigarette burn holes, fridges that ruin your food, 0.5mb download speeds, staying up all night to loud neighbors banging on the walls random and screaming and playing loud music, and coming out to your care having spit and cigarette butts all around it you have to step in to load your car and don't mind being late for your appointment while the manager takes his SWEET ASS TIME inspecting your room....look no furthe! This is your spot! read more

So the online price is false, don't come here and expect to pay any less than 100 per night, I called all the way from LA and asked how much a room would be for 2 nights and the owner told me that it would be $75. Only to come and have him charge us $200 for two nights. I also did not even stay the second night and asked for a refund and was not fulfilled when checking out on the second day at 1:45pm. 100% do not reccomend staying here. Management was horrible. the Stay was horrible. the bed used a very old cover that smelled bad and had hair and other residue on it. and btw I'm not a geechy old woman or old guy. I am a 20 yr old african american male from LA. I've seen pretty bad places before and this was an absolute worst forsure. read more

Horrible Motel!!!! If you have a guest who leaves your room key in the room they won't open the room, won't give a refund for a night stay that was not occupied as I was booked for two nights and only was able to stay one night. Their maid service steals items left in the room, and they don't hold them accountable. Was told the police has been at the motel 14 times for the same problem. If your desperate, your better off sleeping at the beach, somewhere else, and not at this horrible place. It's not worth the hassle for a cheap room. I would not recommend anyone stay there!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Owner and wife very friendly and helpful. Locked my keys & room key in my car in the middle of the night and the owner got out of bed to first let me into my room then gave me a coat hangar which successfully helped me get into my car.

The Chester inn has exceeded all my expectations. I took a chance with the reviews & the biggest complaint is " the rules. " The reason the rules are in place is to keep the property taken care of & comfortable for the guests.This hotel was way better than I expected . The rooms are very clean & spacious- no hair on floors , beds , toilets / no fingerprints on doors -they clean their rooms VERY well . They smell fresh & doesn't appear to be abused , or neglected . Best hotel in the area for the value . Big thank you to Mr. Patel for being so nice , & friendly. I would return without hesitation next time . I really feel very comfortable here - not sure why anyone would write any bad reviews..... read more

This is the second time my partner and I have tried this hotel. The first time we were met with unfriendly customer service from who I believe is the owner. We book trips to Anaheim regularly, at least once a month, and always book hotels in advance, typically a month ahead of time. The first time we stayed at this hotel it was a multi-day stay and they made us switch rooms after the first night which was a major inconvenience for our plans that we had during our trip. That was not all though, we were put in a dirty room with loud neighbors and tow trucks at all hours of the night in the parking lot right below us. Not to mention, the room was not even the room we had booked. Jumping to our most recent stay, we decided to try this hotel again and booked it at least a month in advance and when we arrived, we were again met with a familiar unfriendly face giving us the same treatment as before. Once again, we were not given the room we booked, we booked a non-smoking room due to medical conditions and were given a smoking room that reeked of smoke and made both of us sick. As soon as we got into the room the phone started blaring and the owner demanded we repark in a different spot talking to me as if I was a child repeating "Do you understand? Do it now" over and over and when I addressed the fact that we had not given the room we paid for he brushed it off and said that was all he had and kept insisting we repark right that second. We continued to inspect the room and found mold present throughout the room, especially in the bathroom which was super disgusting. The outlets in the room also didn't work, there was only one set that had any power connected to it and the shower was made for midgets. We were unable to complete the stay at this location and when asking about a refund we were told no they would only refund for one night even though we had already checked out and had to book ANOTHER hotel and pay extra for the last-minute booking. They do not care about their customers. Do not stay here! read more

I appreciate hotel. The owner is very nice and helpful. Good spot for a night or two.

PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE!!! This is the nastiest place you can ever sleep at. Hotel websites should not even be promoting this place! My husband and I needed a last minute room and found this place on Priceline for $65 for the night which was a great deal. I always book my hotels on Priceline and I never have to really yelp or do any kind of research on the hotel because they always advertise great hotels and we always got lucky with awesome locations. But man! I really wish I yelped this place. Just standing in the room makes you feel dirty. I rather have slept in the car. The worst part is while my husband and I were waiting to check in. There was another man in front of us checking in with a female ( hooker) telling the owner that " I only need the room for 3 hours" and the owner said "ok" and on top of that there were other females walking in and out of the other rooms which you know they were doing dirty business. Over all this place should not be open for business! DONT STAY HERE! read more

This is very shady and we left. I took a relative here who needed somewhere to stay for a couple of nights as we can't accommodate him in my house. but honestly sleeping in the car would've been better than to stay in this shady place. read more

So for one the online prices aren't accurate. I actually called in all the way from LA to stay for 2 nights and the manager said 75 dollars. For one it was actually double for a night. It went from 43 to 88 dollars. Secondly the tv nor the key did not work. Third, we paid for two nights but we ended up leaving after the first and the motel manager refused to give us the second nights money's back (a refund) despite us not utilizing our second night's stay. Very unprofessional and I definitely am owed 85 dollars. Management is terrible and the place looks like it hasn't been remodeled in years. The management will get over on you. Definitely don't recommend read more

Plz do not stay in this hotel. At first the service was great then I started to see that the owners of this hotel do all the room service and they watch every move you do. When I got there she said is a no smoking hotel but when I booked it, it gave me the option of adding smoking. So that's all lies. She assume we were smoking in the room because we would go out side to smoke so she saw us smoking. When it was time to check out she charged me for smoking when my boy friend and I were smoking outside. I do feel like they got cameras or something because she was mad when we checking out telling us they know when we close the door or open our doors. How would she know that. The inside of the hotel looks clean but then I started noticing how dirty it really is. The shower curtain was dirty it look like it had blood stains. The toilet would clog fast. Plus they don't have no room service cart they push around a shopping cart from a store with sheets and trashed. I don't think this hotel should be on those hotels websites like trivago. If I could give this no stars I would!!! read more

Horrible place!! Very unprofessional. My family and I got woken up in the middle of the middle of the night by a loud phone and the manager pounding down the door saying my car was parked crooked and i had to come fix it. It wasnt over the lines and there were so many open spaces in the lot. Mind you i have my 3yo with me and we are being disturbed over nothing. The manager proceeded to yell at me and say derogatory things to me the whole time i moved my car over 1 inch until i finally threatened to call police and he left me alone. read more

Oh geez if I can give this place zero stars I would. So first off, i decided to book a room here with the intention of saving a ton's of money and not having to spend extra for other services as all I needed was a night stay. Here's where it gets bad: I was required to pay $10 have a key to get into my room or trade in my ID as a collateral. ( I didn't get my $10 back when I returned it) anyways here's where it gets worse: my friends decided to drop me off here and I was charged for having 4 other friends just chilling in the parking lot for $10 each. Such BS. So I'm like F it, might as well check out my room. As I got to the room I knew what I was getting myself into, dirt-infested beds, a shower that barely works, and a box-tv like they had in the 90s. With that in mind, I witnessed a domestic fight right next door with a bunch of yelling On top of it all, the workers did not make this stay even better, they were utterly rude, unprofessional, and seeing other unhappy guests argue with the workers who do nothing but backfire with their BS policies I don't understand who's running this business or how they are still open, but someone needs to hold them accountable As for whoever considers staying here, DONT and I repeat DONT DO IT, I am saving you the hassle of getting yourself into a "hell" stay near the happiest place on earth Talk about cheap thrill? Huh? This could be the new tower of terror read more

This is the worst mo'mo I've ever stayed at in my life... and I've stayed in some seedy places. I wouldn't even recommend it to the lowest of low life's. Actually the only people good enough to stay at this classy establishment would be... well, let's put it this way... it's implied in the name: "Ch"             "ester"       Inn        ild   mol It's dirty, run down, the appliances don't work except for the porn channel (which they charge an arm and a leg for), it smells mostly of burnt heroin and decomposing hooker, topped with the auromatic scent of raw sewage and yeast infection. They're most accommodating to any and all fleas, roaches, bed bugs, mites, tics, spiders, and people ONLY of their own nationality. The man and the woman who run the office are the most unpleasant, angry, rude, and irrationally close minded bigots I've ever had the pleasure of conversing with. I don't know why they were so angry, rude, and suspicious of everything? I'm 89% sure they're not happy with the liberal life they've made for themselves in the United States. This place is so greedy they charge you, on top of the overpriced room fee, for wifi, visitors, room keys, parking, tv, clean linens, soap, hot water, soapy hot water,  and you can even pay a little extra for a room completely void of any dirty drug needles. And to top it all off they lock the lobby 24/7 and only deal with customers through the night window as they gouge you of your hard earned money while talking smack to your face through an inch of safety glass. I pray every day that this vacation paradise be siezed and condemned by the Health Department and Better Business Bureau by the year 2016. Thank you Chester Inn for a wonderful experience. read more

We will NEVER book here again. I'd rather sleep in a car. My boyfriend and I needed a last minute room as we were going to Disneyland for for 2 hours on a Friday evening after I had made the 4 hour drive from out of town. We needed a bed before heading to another city at 6am in the mornign. All hotels in the area were booked and unless we wanted to spend $150+ for 5 hours of sleep. I figured, "that's fine, I just need a bed". The room smelled, the sink was worn out, and the bed left our backs sore in the morning. I've slept on floors more comfortable. I didn't even want to take off my shoes on the carpet. Granted the room was cheap, but still, even $55 is not worth this place. read more

After all of the great restaurants, businesses and hotels I've visited, it took staying at this horrible P.O.S. motel for me to write a yelp review. It all started when my wife and I got back from our stay at The Bellagio (AWESOME hotel) in Las Vegas, and had a few extra days off from work and decided to stay an extra night in LA to visit Disneyland. We found a room on Priceline for $65 and decided to book it, like we've done plenty of times before. We figured, we wouldn't need anything special since we only needed a room to sleep in for a night WORST MISTAKE EVER! We get to the hotel to check in. I pay with my credit card and the owner tells me, "there's a $10 deposit for the TV remote and room key and it's CASH ONLY." It's kind of high, but I will get it back at check out so I pay. We get in the room and immediately get hit with stuffy hot air and a strong smell of cigarette smoke. Then my wife says "where is the bathroom?!" yes, I really thought there was no bathroom in this tiny cigarette box of a room for a second. It was blocked behind the door as we came in. We put our bags on the bed and go to put our leftover lunch in the fridge and quickly realize there isn't one in the room like there should be. I go back down to the owner to ask where my mini fridge is and there is a man with a lady, who is clearly a prostitute checking in, telling the owner he only needs the room for a couple hours. Wow. So I get up to the window and tell her there is no mini fridge in my room. She tries to convince me there is one in the room and after going back and forth telling her there definitely wasn't one in there, she finally remembers the cleaning lady took it out. So she goes upstairs to get it (At this point I'm already regretting my decision to stay here) but she can't lift it, so now I have to carry a mini fridge in to my room SMH!! Later in the evening my mom, who lives in LA, came to visit us in our room. Not even 1 minute later the owner is calling our phone threatening to tow her car unless we paid a $10 visitor fee. I asked why I have to pay for her to VISIT us. She wasn't sleeping in the room. They just kept repeating it was their policy and it says it on booking.com, which we didn't use. I checked the website just to see for myself and nowhere did it say anything about a visitor fee. DO NOT stay at this motel. Worst experience I have ever had in a hotel/motel. I would rather sleep in my car than to ever stay in this dirty, disgusting, smelly motel. There are too many things wrong with this place to fit on here. Just avoid this place at all costs!!! read more
