Front desk people were nice. The cleaning staff should be fired, had to ask for 2 different rooms to be changed because of cleanliness. Beds were uncomfortable.

Lobby closed had to stand outside of lobby and use a phone while looking at clerk in the office was 39° degrees outside at the time. They gave my $100 security deposit to some random ass person then refused to pay it back.

It was a very economical motel.

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.

Very nice respectful check in person. Room had a strong odor of smoking. Bathroom door did not close properly.
Other than that it’s a place to sleep.

At first there were no bath towels, the front desk brought some down. Then while going to the bathroom i felt water dripping on me. Looking up there was a water leak from the ceiling. By the looks of the patch job it has been repaired multiple times. Shower was dirty, no soap. And my white socks turned black due to the durty floor. Don't stay at this property.

I seen multiple cockroaches and bugs. I felt super uncomfortable in the room I stayed in. And there were a lot of noises throughout the night that made it hard to sleep. I tried calling multiple times today to get a refund on the room but it didn’t connect me to the hotel. Wouldn’t recommend going here. 2/10

Saw roaches inside my room. Got woken up at 8 am by loud machinery noises made by the own hotel employees. No regard for the guests sleep. Bed linen was ripped and stained.

It was clean, just old and not kept up to date. There was only 1 towel in my room. Questionable clientel. I give it 1 star. Would not be my first choice.

The floor between the beds was sticky, like something had been spilled, and not cleaned up, and the bathroom counter was dirty.

Night shift worker canceled my reservation and tried charging me more per night. If that wasn’t bad enough he put me in an unclean room. Day shift was nothing but helpful and resolved the problem

Justin checked us in. He was very accommodating and friendly. He informed us on the motel’s policy’s. I would re-book, possibly. The one concern I have; is the attitude of 2 other employees…(both male) one loud man (who works in the mornings) He tells people rudely that they need to leave and sort of harasses just a little much… especially when I have spent so much money with this location. I thought it was a one day thing; like maybe he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but no. It is becoming repetitive now. And, one quiet guy (who works mix shifts)… who loves to be involved in the drama that occurs at this motel. I had him inform my guy friend on what I was doing and who I was speaking with in the parking lot. In my opinion, that’s invading my personal space/business and causing issues for me, while totally breaking the rules of his job description. Plus, he slacks off and tried to pursuade us not to book on hotels.com; but on America’s best value in Website… stating that they allegedly “match prices.”

The room was very clean, however the smell of smoke was overwhelming. The chairs looked extremely old and should be replaced or cleaned. The location is great and staff was very nice but it's outdated.

While I was checking in another employee/manager/owner was talking on the phone loudly the entire time. We were in Chico, CA for our grandsons’ graduations. One was in the morning and the other was in the evening. When I pulled back the bedding to take a nap I notice the sheets were dirty, and in some places it looked like dried blood. I took pictures and immediately went to the front desk. The clerk’s response was that she could change the sheets - no apology. Nor did she seemed shocked. I ask to view other room options. We looked at two: one smelled of smoke even though it was supposedly non-smoking, and the 2nd room had noticeable cigarette burns on the furniture. The third room she showed me was acceptable, but later I notice it did not have any towels. Expedia should remove this property from their listing. Economical is one thing, but this place was not clean. We did not sleep well the entire night.

Well the property was very decent

The handicaped room I was given had signs of water leakage on the bathroom floor near the toilet and the stacking bench attached to the shower wall was covered with what looked like mildew. I chosee not to use the shower.

The place was disgusting I had to spray for cockroaches, disinfect each drawer, sanitize the bathtub and the sink and the toilet and the refrigerator before I felt comfortable enough to even move my stuff in. I was so exhausted that I overslept and was treated with no respect or appreciation for cleaning their mess night before.

Minimal service - no maid service at all.

The hotel is located on a busy intersection which was very noisy. There were dead bugs in the room and cigarettes burns all over the furniture. The soap and shampoo dispensers were empty. The doors were not very secure. The employees were friendly.

It’s so unique that it was my 1st time to see a cockroach in a bathroom which is so outdated! Shower curtain was dirty, you can’t turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night because it’s connected to the vent which will wake up your companion. Room was next to the construction so the hammering woke us up & called front desk about it & said, she it’s not possible to stop it. Until I banged the wall then it stopped. Since the management knows they have construction going on they should at least ask if we’re o.k to be in a room beside the room being constructed instead they said, there is a note on the office door. How can their guests know if it’s a loud construction or just painting or whatever? It should be mentioned when someone is booking, in fairness. Other wise they should know better putting their guests to other rooms not next to it. I paid over $200 for a night and it said, Kung bed with jetted tub but we got Queen bed & outdated tub which of course you won’t soak in there.

Pool was not available and we were not told before our stay. The property was not inviting and I not recommend

First impression: the place looks run down and the pool they said they had was so gross, it was all dirty and green. The stairs and walk ways are so dirty. I think the only thing thats clean is the office. Second the room we got smelled old and like cigs. The beds was the worst part, they felt hard as rock and squecks everytime you move. And i felt something jumping on and off my skin i think it was fleas. I do not recommend this place. please save your money.

This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. We felt like it was full of bugs and dirt. The refrigerator had someone's left overs in it that were several days old, and the place stunk.
The cops came in the night and arrested someone in the parking lot. It was noisy and so dirty we didn't even shower we just got up and went home.
