    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.

    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.

    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.

    I love going around and trying out different themed tea parties. I booked for the Marie Antoinette…read moretea and it was a very cute space. The decor was great and I loved that many people dressed up. I definitely enjoyed my time there. The only thing I didn't like was how long it took for the food to be brought out. I recommend that you have a small bite to eat prior to going.

    I wanted to give it a few days and take a deep breath before I wrote this post. My friend and I…read moretook our toddlers here for a mommy & me Valentine's date this past weekend and we were both super disappointed. We paid $30 per person for the tea party so $120 total. Honestly we weren't expecting anything crazy, but even with that we were super bummed with the experience. The one star is for how cute the place and setup are. It has a lot of potential, and maybe something was just going on this particular day that made the experience so awful. But even if that was the case I wish they would have explained. Anyway, the tea party started at 11 am and they did not specify how long it was supposed to be or the end time. We get there on time and sit down, enjoy the adorable set up and wait to be served. It took about 20-30 for us to be served our tea and lemonade. After that we are waiting for our finger foods (which on the advertisement they stated it would be sweet and savory). They did not bring our bites until 12:30! Meaning it took an hour and a half for them to bring a small tray of croissants, cupcakes and cookies! I was so confused as to why it took so long to serve.. I mean clearly almost everything was premade besides the little basic finger sandwiches (and it was taking a long time for everyone, because we were listening to all the little girls around us complaining of how hungry they were). So finally we get ours and instead of getting ham & cheese sandwiches like everyone around us, they gave us chicken salad sandwiches which the kids did not want at all. I ate them because at this point I am super hungry and getting a headache because i'm also super pregnant. We ask the lady if they have anything else and she said she can make them grilled cheese sandwiches. The main problem was that for the amount of tickets they sold/tables they had.. they were understaffed. There was just one adult (who i'm assuming was the owner) and two kids helping her (i'm guessing her kids). I loved that the kids were serving the tables but it literally took an hour and a half for us to get a super basic tray of snacks and they only came twice to fill our tea. On top of all that, what bothered me the most was there were moms waiting in the waiting room for a solid hour waiting to be seated! Their daughters all dolled up for a cute day with their moms and literally waiting an hour to be seated for something that was supposed to start at 11 am. A lot of the moms were disappointed but what can they say? They don't want to ruin the experience for their daughters. No joke if this was my business i would 100% refund all the moms there. I was so bummed I ended up leaving with a headache that lasted all day. I am just tired of businesses taking peoples money and not delivering.

I mean fresh cooked to order omelette station and so much more. We did not take advantage of amenities as this was just a last minute overnight stay. My only complaint was master bedroom area door did not fit to close. It left a huge gap and lack of privacy, the furniture was a little out dated but the beds were still comfortable to sleep and pillows were fluffy unlike the next Embassy Suites we stayed at in another city. I loved the patio door and grassy area for the dog. Perfect location near the freeway and a decent steakhouse in the parking lot. A definitely recommend for cost and convenience it's worth the stay.

    Folgers COFFEE! Hilton properties can't do better than that?…read moreReally, wasn't allowed to check in until two, earlier than three! I'm a Gold member that doesn't really give you much benefits anymore. They used to always give me water and points, something from the store. I will have to inquire about that. My first thought as soon as I walked in the door was this giant chandelier that had not been clean or dusted in years, it was quite disgusting. They do offer a decent breakfast, it has a omelette station that was actually really good, something for most people. My omelette was really good, especially with that salsa! The line was huge at the omelette station. I was happy to have a conversation with the two chefs (Jacob and Sadiel) that we're working on 8/6/26. Sandy who was whipping up the eggs on 8/7 so kind, and of course, a shout out to Davion. They were awesome, actually probably the best part of the stay. They were so excited that somebody acknowledged them, look them in the eye and said hello and thank you, that was me saying that, how hard is it to be nice, say hi and just acknowledge people? My correspondence through the chat app, linked me to Cesar, he was the one that reached out to me often to see how things were going. Well today, I will share with him some of my views.. Not happy about not being offered water, nor was there any of my room, even though they did have a coffee maker, I guess you use water from the tap, I never do that. They did have a little fridge, but their room was very old and banged up. The bed made a lot of noise and the mattress was very old, bed frame seemed broken. Our room never really cooled off. Can't really say the shower was good either, turned on the showerhead, but there was more water coming out of the bathtub part than the actual shower, how frustrating. The pool looked great outside, although we did not take advantage of that. The hotel was full of kids. The pool was full of kids. I think this location has turned into a location, staycation for families that have a lot of kids that dining room this morning was packed full of children. This Hilton property has turned into a low budget hotel, I guess that definitely needs love and a facelift. For that reason and others, I could not recommend this. I JUST CAN'T
