Bed bug bites
Leonard A.

I will never stay here again this place was nice looking however the place has bed bugs and that is absolutely disgusting my back and underarm are completely bit up had to throw away all my clothing I wore just sitting on the beds I'm so grossed out.

This Is the Pool/hit tub area. As you can see they are non existent. But instead, they have a bunch of AC units stacked.

Hotel clerk needs to be a little bit more customer friendly. Once we walked into the room, it looked OK but the mini fridge was very dirty from the top. Sticky substance was all over the top. Maybe housekeeping can do a better job especially areas that are so visible.

A bit disappointed at the setup for this price without fridge provided. Luckily we are here just for the night.

Simple but pricy can be more affordable, items in motel needs updating and give more value to its clients if it wants return business or referral business room for improvement many more towels in the rooms required.

Freaky Manager (Please scroll down and read my comment for more detail)
Ssh S.

This motel deserves less than a 0 star, mainly because of the manager!! When we arrived, the door of our room was wide open and all the lights on - and this at 2AM! So the door had been open for more than 6 hours. The day after, when coming back to our room, they had taken all our belongings out, without even informing us about the problem. It finally came out that there wasn't enough credit on the Visa, so we only paid for 1 night instead of 2 - but we had plenty of cash with us so we could have paid easily if they would have informed us. The manager came and asked us to leave, without even letting us look for another hotel. He was totally disrespectful and rude and didn't even dare to have a discussion with us. He was constantly provoking us and acted like a child! He just put us on the street without even caring about what will happen and where we could go, given we are 2 young european women, travelling on their own. NEVER EVER GO THERE - WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE (MANAGER) OF MY LIFE!!

TERMITES ALL OVER MY FLOOR AND BED!!
Chad E.

Oh mylanta! Been here for almost a week now...its been, uhmmm...eventful. Had a termite infestation in my room today which was totally gross. Well that led to an interaction with the general manager. Holy crap. He came at me SO twisted and flat out rude. He said "in 25 years of hotel management. I've NEVER seen a termite in a room!" I let him in my room and he saw them. He actually picked up the termite (Eww) and gave me this psychotic stink eye glare which was really eerie so I said "yep...termites...in the room..." (Nervous laughter) and he replies "how do you know? Have you ever worked with termites??" Weird. Then he did this visual inspection of the room like he was gonna come up on a meth lab. Sorry dude, I'm not gonna be your new connect. Anyway so I moved to a new room in the 102 degree heat alone. The AC didn't work in that room so moved again...fml. Currently in the new bug free room. Complete with AC. Phew. October 22 follow up: for some bizarre reason (I have nooooo idea why...HA) I'm now forever BANNED from this termite...err motel 6. Hmm...seems speed freak manager (see other reviews where he SPIT in a guests face...wow how is he still employed?) didn't like my candid review. Whatevs, your intervention will be a hoot.

See all

What can I say? It's a Tuesday afternoon, and I'm finally ready to share my experience from last…read moreweek. Have you ever been in a scenario where you are waiting for the other shoe to drop, because how is this possible? How can something as simple as choosing a local hotel room for a stacation in honor of your sister-friend-for-life be SO AMAZING? Choosing Homewood Suites on Red Hill was how! From the greeting to the complimentary breakfast and coffee, to the Wednesday social happy hour with appetizers, Rose, Anna, and Anthony were incredible. When I explained that I was taking my sister-friend on a short trip in A/C (she lives in Pomona, where it was 100+F!) - they went above and beyond. Birthday gift basket, late checkout, anything we needed, they were there. I could go on and on, but if you're a Hilton person, then you already know. Clean, safe, decor and design always stellar. If I could give this hotel 10 stars, I would.

Top tier customer service where pets are loved!…read more My group of three adults and one dog stayed here for three nights. I checked in early on the Hilton app and selected my room of choice. This is the one of the few times where my selected room was the actual room I received upon arrival. Each time we needed assistance, the attendants quickly tended to us without issue. We arrived at around 9pm. The attendants at the front desk gave such great customer service. Their welcome/check-in spiel was clear, informative, and did not come off as rushed. When they saw that I was staying with my dog, they immediately invited us to bring my dog to the front for her to select a complimentary toy and treat. A first out of all the Homewood Suites I've stayed at! The free breakfast selections were great - eggs, sausage, waffles, potatoes, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, toast, bagels, etc. There is a game room with billiards, giant Jenga, Connect 4, and shuffleboard. The pool area has a ping pong table and giant chess. The 24/7 fitness room is spacious with working equipment. I would definitely stay here again for the customer service alone. Thanks for making our visit such an incredible experience.

I was looking to find a clean hotel close by (within 10 miles to the parks) with Hot breakfast and free parking. There were quite a few that were available. But I know from my past stays I have enjoyed Holiday Inn Express hotels so figured I would try to find one between the parks and Huntington Beach and this location was recommended. Drove from Sacramento and arrived around 1am and hotel staff greeted me and offered a luggage push cart. Stayed on the 3rd floor in the corner with street view. It was a little noisy at night from cars that drive by if you're a light sleeper but otherwise it was fine. Bedroom was 2 Queens and the pillows and bed were very soft. Included with the room was a cooling fridge (did not notice it froze anything) and a microwave. Bathroom had Dove products of hand soap and lotion by the sink and body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. There was also a sign that if you forgot to pack anything you could call the front desk to get it. My son forgot his razor and they provided a disposable one with a few packets of shaving cream. This is free just for asking. The breakfast is on the lobby floor and is from 6am to 9:30am sharp! There are many hot items that do run out around 9:15am so keep that in mind. There was yogurt, boiled eggs, hot oatmeal, and for the hot prepared entrees it was either potatoes, scrambled eggs, veggie omelet or cheese omelets and one day was biscuits and then gravy. There is a pancake machine to make your own pancakes. Juice machines include cranberry, apple or orange juice. They also offer hot cinnamon rolls. And of course there are a variety of pastries, muffins, bagels and toast and cereal machines. The best part is there is a fresh brewed coffee machines and that is available all day for your caffeine needs. Parking lot does get full in the late evening but there is plenty of free parking somewhere around the building. Pool was warm and my son and his friend did use the gym which had a few cardio machines and plenty of barbell free weights. Housekeeping staff was wonderful and provided any extra towels we needed. This was a wonderful location with clean rooms, great breakfast and hospitable staff. It is close to interstate 5 to jump on and off the fwy. About 10 minutes drive to Disneyland park. I would definitely choose to come back and stay here.

Clean and quiet with great views. Central location for me…read more I lived in this area for 35 years and it is nice being in a familiar place. Has all the amenities- gym, pool, breakfast. Central to several restaurants. Nice staff. Clean room.

Awesome place to stay while in town!!…read more This was my very first time staying at an Embassy Suites and it did not disappoint. Parking will set you back about $25 a day for self parking and while you will not have any issues finding parking, there were plenty of times were we ended up on the opposite end of where the hotel entrance was. More often that not, the parking spots are extremely tight- even for our HONDA CRV so we opted to go further back to ensure comfortability coming in and out. To simplify, come willing to do some walking. This hotel setup reminded me so much of our family stays in Hawaii. The landscape is beautifully spacious, clean, and there is no shortage of seating. There is even an indoor fountain. One of the main perks of staying on the property is Embassy Suites' complimentary breakfast. Here you will find typical breakfast items: cereals, eggs, bacon or sausage, but the what brings on the long lines would 100% be the omelet station where you can customize your eats how you see fit. This is one of the better complimentary breakfasts that I've been offered. The rooms in itself are okay. We ran into a few issues while we stayed here. One being our tissue box literally having only one sheet of tissue in it. It was very obvious that the box was empty and the staff didn't even bother to change it out or leave a backup box. Secondly, there was a quinceanera celebration going on during our stay. We unfortunately sat right above the site where it was being hosted. All evening we heard loud music, obnoxious party goers- this made it super hard for my toddler to actually fall asleep. Third, The elevators on one side was out of service, leaving everyone to flock over to the opposing side. This caused for so much traffic and delays- so much so, we decided to skip breakfast that morning. Staff, guests, and maintenance personnel all rushing to get where they needed to be was not the business. Easily a 4 star rating but I decided to deduct one due to the issues. I'm still a fan and could totally see myself staying here again.

I didnt think I would ever have a "bad" hotel stay but I should have taken the ratings as a warning…read morebefore booking my stay. The parking was a hassle and challenging at times when it came to managing my standard size Van, and the lack of spots available had my guest parking on the street. After stepping into the lobby around 9pm, I did not see anyone attending the front desk and even started questioning myself if maybe I was at the wrong spot. But after about 10 mins of hopelessly saying "hello?" In an empty lobby, I was greeted by what might have been the most unenthusiastic employee I have ever met at ANY business. For starters, she stepped out of the back room yawning as if I was interrupting her sleep, with eyes struggling to stay open. Then while completing the check-in process I would ask standard guest questions like breakfast hours, pool hours and easiest access to the rooms but felt uncomfortable having to wait for the front desk worker to stop yawning before taking a moment to answer my questions. I would understand if it were super late, but as I said, I was checking in around 9-930pm, a reasonable time. And finally, the moment I knew I could no longer stay at this establishment was when my wife woke me up at 3am after using the restroom to tell me about the roach infestation. Im not sure how I didnt notice it initially, but once I saw the roaches myself crawling up the bathroom walls, on the corners of the room and near the sink area. I immediately contacted embassy suites customer support hotline to file my complaint about the whole experience, only to be told "record the roaches as proof " then be given 1,000 hilton points as a courtesy for my inconvenience. . . . . . Of course they offered to move me to another room, but relocating to what might have been another roach infested room wasn't appealing to me . So instead, I marched down to the front desk and asked to cancel my stay completely and surprisingly wasn't given a hard time . The front desk worker wasn't even shocked when I told them the room was infested and I didnt want to stay anymore . Overall, this hotel managed to leave a very poor impression on me in only a few hours which will be a huge deciding factor when selecting a hotel for future stays.

Parking out front to check in was a hassle when we arrived so we had to park at a nearby business. Check in was easy and the employee was very helpful and friendly. She gave me two room keys, my parking pass, and two yummy warm cookies. Parking was a breeze and we found a spot right by the elevator. Once inside we headed on upstairs to our room on the 6th floor. Here is where our only issue was. The two elevators available took AGES to come down and up. They moved sooo slow so there would be a long line that would accumulate... The room itself was spacious and clean. The beds were comfy and the shower head pressure was amazing. The area is nice and safe. Security available on site.

Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing and stressful hotel experience…read more First, parking is $39 PER NIGHT, and the parking situation is unnecessarily confusing. You can't access the main parking area until you have your room key, so you first have to park in the upper lot near the lobby, check in, and then get back in your car and drive down to the actual parking area. This was not made particularly clear beforehand. Check-in itself was chaotic and stressful. There didn't seem to be an organized line, so people were essentially lining up wherever. Even once I got to the counter, I stood there for several more minutes while the employee typed away at the computer before we actually started the check-in process. During check-in, I was also repeatedly encouraged to decline housekeeping in exchange for Hilton points. I said no the first time, and then it was pitched to me again. I said no again and made it clear that I wanted housekeeping. Having to repeatedly decline an upsell while simply trying to check into my room was frustrating. Another thing to be aware of: the elevators are quite far from the front of the hotel, which could be a real issue for anyone who is disabled or has difficulty walking. There are also only two elevators, and they feel old and rickety. There was apparently a large football-related event happening at the hotel during my stay, which I was never told about at check-in. When I returned to the hotel around midnight on my first night, there was actually a LINE just to get on the elevator. People were packing themselves into it, and given the condition of the elevators, it honestly felt a little unsafe. As for the room, there are some positives. It's a nice size and the bed is comfortable. Unfortunately, everything else has been strange. The air conditioning barely works, and apparently I'm not alone because other guests were actually discussing the same problem while we were packed into the elevator. The shower has the opposite problem: the water pressure is so incredibly strong it feels like you're showering under Niagara Falls. Also, hot is cold and cold is hot. I had to look up Yelp reviews to not scald myself. The final straw was being jolted awake at 6:00 AM by the room's alarm clock. Apparently the previous guest had set it, and it was never reset before I checked in. Nothing like being awakened by a blaring alarm you didn't set while staying at a hotel. Overall, the hotel feels like an older property that has been remodeled without addressing some of the underlying issues. Between paying $39 per night just to park, the confusing parking setup, chaotic check-in, repeated housekeeping pitch, elevator situation, barely functioning AC, and being unnecessarily woken up at 6 AM, this has been far more stressful than a hotel stay should be. Ridiculous when there's so many other choices.

Unfortunately, the condition of the room was completely unacceptable. The room was filthy, the lights were not working, and when I tried to use the switch on the bottom of the floor lamp, it was covered in dirt and a sticky residue. It was extremely unsanitary. I took photographs documenting the condition of the room. I immediately called the front desk to report the issue. I was told by THE MANAGER to come downstairs and that the room would need to be cleaned, but that it would not be ready until 3:00 PM--or possibly 2:00 PM "if I was lucky." The manner in which this was communicated to me was also extremely rude and dismissive. I was essentially made to feel that my only options were to accept the situation or leave. When I went downstairs, I was then told that I would need to leave and come back later. This was particularly frustrating because I had specifically called ahead to arrange the 12:30 PM arrival and had been told it was approved. At that point, I asked the front desk to cancel my reservation. I was told that because I booked through Booking.com, I would need to contact them directly. I immediately contacted Booking.com, and they have reached out to the hotel regarding the cancellation and refund, but I understand that the hotel has not yet responded. I am requesting that the hotel approve the cancellation and issue a full refund immediately. I did not choose to simply leave a satisfactory room. I was given a room that was dirty, unsanitary, and not properly functioning after being told in advance that I could arrive at 12:30 PM. I have photographs documenting the condition of Room 217 and can provide more of  them if necessary.

This last bit was very important to me as I know that some of the hotels right near the parks can get a little gross. This was not the case here. It's clear that someone's taken a lot of care to really rehab this place and make it something special. The decor is so charming and it really feels like a little oasis on Harbor Ave. It is expensive don't get me wrong but you pay for convenience here. From the hotel to the security entrance, it's about a 10 minute walk. That on top of the free breakfast and aforementioned free parking make this place a no-brainer. I should also mention that there is a shuttle to the park, if you prefer that, it runs around every hour. Unfortunately, we came to Anaheim during one of the worst heat waves we've ever experienced, but the Candy Cane Inn came through with the stellar AC. This was a great retreat during hot days to cool off and catch up on sleep before heading back to the park after sunset. My only beef is they need to add a path between here and Avengers Campus since we're right next door! It would be so convenient.
