    Guest laundry room
    Tosha L.

    Stayed here on NYE, going into 2026 so that I could celebrate at Pechanga, since Pechanga rooms were sold out. It was a nice over night stay. The curtains wouldn't stay closed, so I had to safety pin it together. Luckily I had one and luckily it closed with the one I had. The bathroom has brand name Dove products, fridge, coffe maker, and microwave. The heater is a motel wall heater. Checking in was a breeze and the rep let me choose the floor I wanted. The next morning was breakfast time and we went at a good time because we beat the crowd. There were turkey sausage patties, pork sausage, cheese omelets, fruit, cereal, pastries and even a pancake maker. The pancake maker was pretty cool, and my favorite part of breakfast. I would recommend a stay here, if you need somewhere to stay in the area.

    Moldy wall in bathroom

    The desk staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was family friendly and good. The rooms are filthy. We checked in and found the bathroom corners caked with dirt and mold on wallpaper. I wanted to switch rooms and the next room was thick with cigar smoke, and then the last room was dirty too! Getting to late to continue to search for a clean room, we settled in. Not realizing the couch and floor had this goop and the sink and soap were soo dirty! The shower had pink mold and the corner of the doors were dirty. I keep looking for other words besides dirty, gross and filthy. Sorry, but the cleaner check list needs to be updated and this hotel shouldn't be on your visit list. 4 stars for staff, ZERO stars for rooms

    Accessible door control not working.

    This is, by far, the worst Holiday Inn Express I've ever stayed in. The bathroom was filthy, with grime in the sink, mold in the shower and on the bathroom floor, a very noisy exhaust fan, no washcloths, a sticky bathroom floor, and a missing hose between the shower diverter and the shower head. The juice machine in the breakfast area was posted as "Out of Order," and coffee was late coming out at opening and slow to be replenished. The washing machine was posted as "Out of Order." Staff did not seem to care at all, and was unable to address the issues, even providing something as simple as two washcloths after two requests. The front door to the lobby was filthy...not a few fingerprints from a pack of young soccer players, but rather a build up of grime from extended periods without thoughtful cleaning. One room was well stocked with Keurig Pods, but not Keurig Coffee Machine. One of our rooms was even missing the hose that connects the shower wand to the diverter, which meant that water poured out of the opening unless the diverter was in a very special position. We asked staff, twice, for two washcloths because there were none in the room. One staff member replied they don't use washcloths and the other replied they were out of them. IHG...The Holiday Inn Express in Temecula is an embarrassment to the entire IHG family of hotels.

    Stayed at this hotel for a week while we visited San Diego and Riverside County. Right off of the 15 Freeway in Temecula, the freeway was in our backyard. Fortunately, with double paned windows, the noise was cancelled out. Although the air conditioner was very loud. An older hotel and I was not pleased with the handicap accormodatations. My fault, partly, because I mistakenly booked an ADA tub, though I thought I booked a handicapped shower. Bath soap was not reachable while sitting in the tub, so I unscrewed it off the wall so my son could use it. Tub did not drain and you had to hold it up to allow for drainage. Bath towels had rips in them. The previous customer had left candy wrappers under the bed and in between the desk and wall. The printer did not work so I could not print my boarding pass. The one thing I do like is the breakfast in the morning and I am a big fan of those mouth watering cinnamon rolls and coffee. I like the variety of different breakfast options and makes for one less choice to make in the morning. Right down the elevator from 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM! Located very close to Old Town too and located across the freeway are shops and restaurants. Staff was very nice and accomodating.

    Food on wall

    This place is in a decent location but that's about it. It smells when you walk in, the entrance door handicap button is broken as well. The room had food on the wall and shower had mold. Terrible.

    Checked in for a two night stay for the wedding. A great location close to stores and restaurants. And though a bit dated, everything you'd need are here, other than a safe. Comfortable beds too. And Holiday Inn Express always have something everyone can eat for a decent breakfast, especially on weekends.

    I flew to Los Angeles (from Honolulu) to attend the SoHyang / Jung Dong Ha concert at the Pechanga Resort in Temecula. It was a last minute decision based on my ability to purchase a ticket near the front of the stage (row EE). I could fly into Los Angeles or San Diego but flying into LAX would allow me to get to Temecula during the day. Anyway, I picked up my rental car and drove the 95-odd miles from LAX to the Holiday Inn Express (HIE) on Jefferson Avenue. Why the HIE? Because there were no rooms available at the Pechanga Resort. I arrived at HIE just before 10am because I wanted to drop off my bag. I'd seen videos and heard warnings about not leaving one's luggage in the car. I had 5 hours to kill before I could check in at 3pm. Problem #1: They wouldn't hold my bag. The excuse was no storage area. This is the first time this has happened; ALL hotels hold bags. So, I placed my bag behind the front seat and lowered the rear seat back to "hide" my bag. It was a SUV so leaving it in the space behind the rear seat left it in view. I returned at 3pm to find out that my room wasn't ready; they had sold out the day before and the staff were still cleaning rooms. I had what was labeled an executive room on the 3rd floor. So, I waited (along with a few other people) and finally got the card keys to my room. I went up and entered, turned on the AC and was greeted by a stale smell. Great; this is starting out to be "wonderful". I went to the ice machine on the 3rd floor and was greeted by a sign that said "Broken" (problem #2). I went down to the 2nd floor and couldn't find an ice machine so I had to go to the ground floor to get ice. Back upstairs, I tried turning on the TV but the DirectTV remote didn't do anything to the LG TV (problem #3). I fiddled around for a while and called the Front Desk. Five minutes later, someone came up and was unable to make it work. She said she'd send someone that knew more. I fiddle some more and got the TV powered using the button on the TV. The DirectTV remote would change channels but none of the other buttons worked. I had to use buttons on the TV to control the volume. The "expert" came up, looked at the remote and the TV and stated that the DirectTV remote doesn't work with the LG TV and that the workaround I came up with was as good as it would get. I showered, laid on the bed and got ready to go to dinner. What? I have what looks like a flea bite. Great. (It was the only one, thank goodness.) The bathroom was okay ... the overflow drain cover on the tub was installed upside down; I started to put in it the correct orientation but found that I would uncover a nasty stain so I left it "as is". At least there was hot water and sufficient water pressure. The toilet flushed like a marine head. Those that have been on a cruise will know what I mean. Hey, it worked ... that's all that mattered. My room faced I-15 (100ft away) so I had to put up with freeway noise at night. Luckily, my activities made me tired enough not to care. On Saturday, I encountered a throng of people in the tiny lobby ... I think they were waiting to check in. So, my experience the day prior seems to be the norm. I didn't try the free breakfast until Sunday, check-out day. It was decent ... there was a choice of sausage, biscuits and gravy, cheese omelets, breads and pastries. All I really wanted was coffee and it was decent coffee. Final thoughts ... I think I could put up with the issues encountered had I not paid $488 for 2 nights. For $244/night, I expect more; a lot more. The staff were nice but I think they're understaffed and somewhat overwhelmed. For $100/night, I'd give it 3.5 stars. For $244/night, they're lucky to get 1 star.

    Decent hotel. Stayed one night - did not verbally acknowledge hotel status, but gave me welcome points. No upgrade (possibly not available). Breakfast was as expected. Older hotel, but serviceable for what we were there for. Close to fast food and some restaurants. Lots of families.

What looks like the front entrance along Jefferson is not. It's actually in the back. I parked at the other hotel's parking lot then walked over to check in. That was relatively smooth. I was given a parking pass to display on my dashboard. It's $12 a night for underground parking with elevator access straight to your hotel room floor. Overflow parking is outside in the lot shared with the other hotel. I got to my room and it was just okay. You can't go below 68 degrees. For the hotel-goers in us that like Arctic temperatures to sleep, that may be a problem. I left it on "Auto" at 68 and somehow it bumped up to a humid 78 degrees inside. And a faint smell of urine towards the A/C unit. Now the part where I was just grossed out. The bathroom. There was mold along the bottom of a section of a wall towards the baseboard. It was so bad that I guess maintenance ripped out the portion and it's just black mold. See the photo in my review. The metal trashcan in the bathroom was disgusting. I know Hilton is going the green route, but add a plastic liner or something. Rust and garbage residue is just not visibly appealing. Again, see the photo in my review. The showerhead? It had dried soap scum. Luckily I brought Lysol wipes with me to wipe that down. Made me wonder about the water. The shower area itself? There were long strands of hair everywhere. Some were even stuck to the floor of the shower itself and I just let it be. Recall that I mentioned Hilton going the green route. They only service your room and bathroom every other day of your stay. So if you're in for a weekend stay, they'll just clean it when you check out essentially. I understand it's expensive to staff, but I'm sure the every other day schedule leaves gaps in cleanliness for future guests as indicated by my review. I do not recommend.

We stopped in on a Saturday morning to drop off our cars and luggage and returned later to check in between wine tasting and dinner. I will start with the few positive points. First, the staff is very friendly and they tried to be helpful. Also, there is always fruit iced water in the lobby as well as a free coffee and breakfast in the morning. Breakfast didn't look too good, so I just grabbed a little fruit, but I was grateful that they had coffee. As far as the hotel, it was really run down with tons of scrapes on the furniture and appliances. You practically had to wrangle the bathroom door to get it to slide closed. The pool area was far from picturesque and in major need of an upgrade. They do a free happy hour for guests which includes 2 free drinks. It is a nice effort, but the wine was pretty bad and the margaritas were an unnatural shade of green. It would probably be best to either give just one decent drink (this is the Temecula Valley after all) or forgo the happy hour altogether. This would have been a 2-star review, but two things really bothered me. First, they knew that we had arrived early and requested (but didn't expect) an early check-in. In any other hotel, we would have been able to check in by 3PM, or at least 4. We had been wine-tasting and I really wanted to take a quick nap before dinner and our evening out, but our room wasn't ready until after 5:30, which is really out of the question. Also, in the morning, I ran downstairs to grab a couple of coffees for myself and a friend. Then I went back upstairs to get into the room. Our key wouldn't work. I ran down to ask for another key, and they explained that I had to turn the doorknob up to make it work instead of down. It did work, but the other key I used the day before had worked normally (downward). I don't like keys that require instructions....especially when not given instructions. In the process of trying to open the door and running downstairs twice, I spilled coffee hot coffee all over my hands. The location is so-so. It is convenient to the freeway and a short drive to Old Town, but not in a great location for wine-tasting. I will not stay here again.
