Some of the clientele was very questionable. The employees were all very nice and even had to intervine with questionable tenants. The location was great for my needs. Next time I'll try the place across the street or around the corner. The door jambs on some of the rooms look like the door had been kicked in, door was fine, but the jamb leaves a question of what happened.

Really great front desk staff. The young man who was a Chico state student was great 10/10. Room was not super clean & it was dated....but what can you expect? Definitely a budget hotel. You can walk to campus within 15 minutes, downtown in 5. Great location

The people were extremely nice. But I arrived a little early and they gave me a room which apparently didn’t log it. So at 5 AM there were two people trying to get into my room thank god I had the extra lock in place. Then the shower didn’t work and when I notified them they went in to fix it. So my second morning it still didn’t work.

This is an older motel in downtown Chico, so the decor is a little dated and the rooms are showing their age. I’d say this is an OK place, given the price, location and free parking. I had noisy neighbors (until 2 am) above me, but that was just bad luck. Didn’t hear or see other problems with guests. Check-in ws fast and easy; guy behind the desk was very nice.

The young man at the desk was very nice and quickly moved me to to another room when I asked. The second room, although having more light, was really shabby. The bedspread (it was a no smoking room) had burn holes and you could feel the springs through the mattress. I was hoping I could attach photos to show you the bathroom! Cracked tile, ugly yellow stains all around the sink and toilet and the tub/shower had awful stains too. It was graduation weekend so I expected the price to reflect that, but $250 a night for a dump like this is outrageous.I do want to give kudos to the two staff members I dealt with- they were friendly and very helpful.

DIRTY

Overall this hotel is atrocious and no one should stay there, ever. But even the worst hotel (and this is) have a few things going for them, so here they are: 1) location - it is in downtown Chico within walking distance of the university 2) the sheets were clean and the mattress was comfortable 3) the parking lot was brightly lit 4) the front desk clerk was friendly and helpful Do not in any way let those 4 things lead you to believe that this hotel is ok, because isn't. This hotel is DIRTY and DISGUSTING. There was dirty laundry in the closet, a clearly used-for-s*x towel behind the door, the floors were too dirty to walk on, and the real kicker is that the shower and tub were completely unusable. By unusable I mean there was a hole in the wall in place of the contraption that would send water out of the shower head, and there was no plug to use it as a tub. I asked to use an iron, which they gave me, but it was filthy. The ironing board was broken. The cabinet doors were broken. The sink was stained. The mirrors were dirty. I stayed at this hotel out of sheer desperation because my original reservation was lost (either by the hotel or hotels.com, not sure which) and every other hotel near the college was sold out due to"family weekend". I was there to visit my daughter so location was my #1 priority. This hotel is gross. Trust me. BTW - I have spent 30-50 nights a year in hotels every year for 20+ years and have never left a bad review.
