    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.

    Currently staying here right now and it is absolutely disgusting. Mold all over the bathroom, dry blood stains on the sheets, floor was not cleaned and my kid pulled old dry French fries out from under her pillow. Drawers have dry stained fluids all inside them. These rooms DO NOT get cleaned. We will never be staying here again. Fucking gross.

    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.

    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.

    UPDATE: Manager was awesome or maybe just whoever checked me out I'm assuming she was the manager…read moreshe's great. She took care of it and I honestly thought it was going to be a headache or something that's going to require more time attention and my energy to deal with it. But she was great and took care of everything without me even having to ask it was already handled after I said to the breakfast girl I'm not paying for two buffets when I am one person. I took a plate of leftover to my dog rather than bringing him down with me to eat alongside people. And you discomfort was not normal for the location. I've been here before and it's always been great. Gentlemen in the evening I believe she said his name is Bryan was great. Should've gotten her name but she had a short light brown hair and really cool nails! Very nice lady very grateful and I honestly thought it was going to be a longer conversation and she just had to handle already for me. So that honestly took so much off of my plate today because I did not want to start my morning my day off or a continuation of anything from the evening. So thank you so much for handling that! I am going to kick this back up and I will be back in the future! I like the place and the young gentleman who checked me in overnight was VERY classy and accommodating. I am only disappointed with the breakfast experience. I didn't know it wasn't included. Sign is on the wall in writing that you walk right by and at an angle. Gave my room number and they direct address pricing. Surprising for the cost of the room at $130 for the area and being a member. $20 for fruit waffle and dry bacon? Ok. However the young lady watching the food was VERY ANNOYING. I felt like I was being monitored. Which is I suppose her job there's just a better way to do it. Honestly it ruined the experience- especially when i was so tired, no glasses and she would POP up when i was still chewing to take the small plates. It was just very- low class feeling- not her but that experience. Took a plate to my dog and she had me stop and then when i brought the plate back she was talking to the front desk. It was VERY uncomfortable & I felt like every thing i did was monitored. Like I didn't just pay 20 bucks for a "buffet" they call it on the whiteboard. Honestly they need to do this differently that made me feel very uncomfortable. What's your room number can I take that are you going back upstairs can I get your signature? Like bro I just woke up I'm eating I'm going back up to my room like have it handled a little bit differently. So I don't know I'll come back of course but that was just like an interaction in the day that I didn't need after having an incredibly stressful night which is why I was at the hotel. Like I don't need potential conflict right in the morning or somebody monitoring me. Like there's a time to approach in situational awareness that should take place. I just wanted to let you know that it's a $20 buffet or I can order you a breakfast burrito or something along those lines? Anyway I don't know opportunity for retraining or a little bit less intensity and I love the passion for the job but definitely not a Hilton experience. As far as when I came back downstairs and they had charged me for two because I took a plate of eggs etc. up to my dog. Even though it was a buffet and it was leftovers lol it was just ridiculous honestly. Then I asked for what's the latest time to check out and she gave me the regular time of 12 PM. I didn't say a regular time what is the latest. When I had first gotten the Hilton membership it was a late checkout I think of like two or four or something really phenomenal so I don't know if they stopped doing that but he was the lady at the front desk kind of had an attitude. So I'm assuming they probably expected me to have a problem with them charging me 40 bucks. It was just honestly such a low class experience. Meanwhile that evening before was definitely on par with my Hilton experiences in the past. Absolutely unfortunate that I deal with this first thing in the morning. Would have preferred a days in or best Western of this kind of mentality. Smh. $40 like we're at the Montague having mimosas or something.

We were especially impressed with the nice bathroom with large shower and separate tub. Check-in was easy; like an Airbnb a simple code for room entry was provided and payment was made online. The property feels secluded and private and is very well maintained. There were only 4 or 5 rooms, I think, at this property. Each room has its own designated parking space. Like an Airbnb, bring your own amenities; other than soap and towels, nothing else was provided in the bathroom. There is a pool and hot tub but I never even saw either as they were on the back side of the complex and we pretty much just wanted to chill in the room. We planned a stay here just to relax and rediscover what a nap is. The huge downside for us was that the walls here are paper thin. The noise from the room next to us kept us from being able to relax or sleep and even woke us up the following morning. Conversations, the television, and the lovely sounds of snoring could be plainly heard by us. The most irritating noises from next door were the sounds of a babbling toddler who enjoyed running around the room; we were mistaken to think this is an adult-only type of villa. While we loved the room the noise didn't conform with our want of a relaxing vacation space.

We booked this property back in February due to a wine tasting tour that we scheduled for Labor Day weekend. We liked the fact that it was part of the pickup/dropoff route for our Grapevine wine tour and is within walking distance from Old Town Temecula. The property itself is just ok. We had all of the basic amenities that we needed but it definitely isn't a Marriott, Hyatt, nor HIlton property. Breakfast was included from 6:30am to 9:30am and your typical hotel breakfast buffet consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes, various breads, cereals, waffle maker, yogurt, etc. The dining area seating is somewhat limited (we were always able to get a table) and there is patio seating outside (facing the street). The only thing I disliked about the breakfast was the scrambled eggs as they appeared to be the powdered kind. The breakfast attendant was also very rude. Did not smile once and always seemed like the guests were intruding her work. She would also get in the way of the guests and would not excuse herself. As for the room itself, we booked a suite and a suite it is not! Basically what makes it a suite is a sofa (not sure if it turns into a sofa bed). They do have a Keuring machine and a mini fridge, but there's no kitchen, utensils, dishware, sink, etc. The room was very clean and the bathroom was big and for the mobility impaired. The gym was very clean and you could tell rarely used. The temp was 76 degrees and the gauge was locked (albeit to make you sweat lol). The laundry room was a joke! Located on the 2nd floor with the ice machine, the cost is an astonishing 4.00 for the washer and 3.00 for the dryer! I guess that is a sign that they discourage their guests from doing their laundry. Not only that, it's one washer and one dryer on one floor for the entire property! I did bring 5.00 in quarters with me as I expected the wash to be max 3.00 and the dryer 2.00 as I have NEVER stayed in a property that had those kinds of ridiculous rates for their laundry machines! Now's where it gets even better...I asked the front desk clerk for 2.00 in quarters (I had enough for the wash but not for the dryer). She informed me that she did not have any quarters to give out. I asked her how can you not have quarters on hand for your guests to do laundry? She shook her head and then sent me to the 76 gas station across the street for quarters. I told the gas station cashier about the hotel clerk referring me to him for quarters and he was flabbergasted! He said he barely had any quarters for the store and was kind enough to give me the 2.00 in quarters in exchange for my two dollar bills. Upon returning to the hotel lobby, I informed the front desk clerk that the gas station cashier said for them not to be referring guests over there for quarters and the clerk just shook her head again. Lastly, there is an indoor pool which I found strikingly odd as most pools in So Cal are outdoor year round with Temecula being in the desert and on the warmer side. Overall, had it not been for the terrible customer service, I would have rated this property 3 stars but I will definitely not stay here again if I'm in the area again.
