Helen Feng - this is for you. I booked my stay through Kayak. 29th - 31st. Pulled in and knew I was already fooled by the pictures. Homeless people chillin by the front desk. Go to the "front desk" which you will find yourself separated by bulletproof glass. Trashy printed paperwork taped all over the glass WARNING YOU left and right of all the activity going on. Prostitution, drug dealing, etc. The woman who barely spoke English couldn't find my reservation. Said I was checking out next day, which I wasn't. Then tried to take $20 cash from me. I said no and it never got brought up after that. Tryna make a quick buck or what? She gave me my key and I drove around the corner hoping less creeps were over there. Negative. Went in my room and the AC unit was stuck at 60 degrees. Went to go take a shower and the tub was chipped. And disgusting. NO HOT WATER. Paint patches all over the rooms walls. Dirt on the doors from people touching it over the course of YEARS. Phone didn't even work to call the front desk. I decided to check out in the morning. I felt unsafe, I couldn't even be accommodated with a hot shower. Called Kayak who told me the manager was on her way to my room to speak to me. 5 minutes later Helen knocks on my door. I start showing her everything that is wrong and she had the audacity to ARGUE with me. She ran the bath water and made me touch it. Claimed it was as hot as the "law" will let them run it. BULLSHIT - I stayed at a hotel the night prior. This was borderline lukewarm / room temperature. She took absolutely no responsibility. I asked to speak to the person above her, she refused. Claimed she was the owner (ya, unlikely.) Helen walked away from me while I was in the middle of speaking. She was so incredibly rude, and told me I should've just asked for a different room. I have it on video. First of all - I'm here for business. I got in late. Phone to front desk didn't work, so she expected me to walk in this trash area in the middle of the night to request a different room?! If the actual owner reads this - I want a refund for my one night stay. Also, have a conversation with Helen and let her know the way she talks to guests is uncalled for. Just recognize what's wrong and make it right. You can't possibly sit in front of me trying to validate how this is all okay. Cheap or not, at least have some quality in your management. I'm expecting someone to reach out and make this right or I will be taking this to the Better Business Bureau. read more

Lemon Tree Motel - Hotels Near Me - Pomona, California

LOW END ACCOMMODATION: "You Get What You Pay For" If I'm in the LA area for a couple of days I don't mind staying at a motel. Regardless of how small a motel is I care about quality. I stayed here with my parents last weekend due to a family gathering. We wanted to stay at a place close by, but not too expensive. So I found this place on Expedia and booked it was $60 a night. Where to begin? Besides a nice staff nothing else was positive about this motel. I'll let the pictures in my review describe my experience. That is inexcusable to have a faulty electric outlet and graffiti on the cabinets in any motel. I've stayed at hostels Europe, Japan, and South Africa that were cleaner than this place. Those hostels were less than $30 a night. There's a sign that states new management. I hope it makes major upgrades to this motel to make it liveable. This motel is next to a hill where on top are two casual, upscale restaurants: Coco Palm Restaurant and Pomona Valley Mining Company. Due to these two restaurants this motel has the potential to attract more guests provided there's a major upgrade to the facilities. Despite the new management if I come back to LA I'm not staying at this motel again. I'm willing to pay more for a hotel that doesn't have faulty outlet, graffiti cabinet, and a dirty swimming pool. read more

Probably the cleanest and nicest hotel I've stayed at in Pomona. Great customer service, nice breakfast in the morning and very comfortable. The people yelling at 5am was a good upgrade for my wake up call. I high recommend this place if you're bored one night and needing some thrill or excitement. read more

Dirty, seems abandoned by management. Dilapidated, swarming with transients, fire pit under the left stairs case with visible crack pipes and sleeping bag, trash all over parking lot and hall ways. Says no smoking or pets but drug use happening out in the open, cigarettes butts flooding the halls. Never got service. All the pictures I see on Yelp are exactly what you get. No exaggeration. read more

Good spot to chill and relax. It's a momo and it serves its purpose. Haven't had a bad experience so far.

Bro I'm actually dying we walked into the first room and we had to get a different room because it smelled so bad (like tobacco and dust) but we spent the night and I got a bed bug bite PLEASE save yourself do not go here. From the other reviews, they're all still true and there were stains everywhere. read more

Lemon Tree Motel - Bed bug bite ‍ - Hotels Near Me - Pomona, California

RUDE STAFF , we had BEDBUGS BAD , not 10 minutes after we checked in the police drove through, after they they exited the parking lot I wish they would've made a U-turn. All of a sudden people you normally wouldn't see popped outta nowhere. If you have young children don't stay here, or keep your kids inside. Some weird ass kept trying to hit on my teenage daughter, and then asked me for a cigarette. My daughter, grandkids, and myself got bitten my bedbugs so BAD. DISGUSTING. WOULDN'T CHANGE OUR ROOM. NEVER AGAIN. Made reservation on Priceline, Make sure you have $20 cash for key deposit and plenty of time upon check out so that they can inspect YOUR room, if they find any reason they will keep your deposit. I did not have any issues but had to wait over an hour due to other guests unable to get their deposits due to issues. read more

Stay somewhere else. It's worth the extra $$. Room was disgusting, smelled like pee. I went to the gas station nextdoor​ to buy a phone charger, and the attendant warned me not to go out at night and park my car where there's camera's. He said if I was staying long to find another hotel because a woman should not stay here alone long. read more

I have to admit right off the bat that I am no fan of Riverside county or the 909. But there was a band I wanted to see at the Pomona Fairplex, and this was the cheapest place to get a room nearby. I am no prima donna when it comes to places to stay-as long as it's relatively clean and decent-which the Lemon Tree is. Convenient location-right off Interstate 10 and just around the corner from the back road that leads straight to the Fairplex grounds. I will say one thing: I turned on the TV in my room just to check out CNN or see if they got MTV and what pops up: PORN! And it was free-not even blocked or scrambled. I was pretty shocked. Another thing-the rooms were serviced by maids that looked like they just got out of meth rehab-not that there's anything wrong with that. I guess I am just a sheltered kind of goody-goody but it made me realize just how really a non-party-er I have evolved into. Still-it ain't the ritz but the Lemon Tree will do in a pinch. Keep the kids away from the TV remote control unless you want to have to start explaining the birds-and-the-bees! read more

Lemon Tree Motel - Hotels Near Me - Pomona, California

Given how I normally stay at the Best Western in Diamond Bar when visiting my lady over the weekend, I was shocked to see their summer rates be as high as they were when trying to make a reservation. So, I found myself using priceline.com to look for cheaper places to stay and came across the Lemon Tree Motel. The price was attractive ($50 per night!), but the previous Yelp reviews gave me pause after making my reservation online. Imagine my surprise to see that the room was clean, the water was working, and the A/C functioned properly (especially with the weather in Pomona at 90 degrees). And, free wifi - always a plus with me! The banner over the entrance said that the motel was under new management, so perhaps these changes were implemented after the most recent Yelp review. Yet, the Lemon Tree is showing its age; the walls are a bit thin, as I heard the person next door snoring (either that, or he must snore REALLY loud). This place also is the first one I've seen where you have to pay to use the ice dispenser. And, while there is adult programming on the TV - and you can request to have it shut off at check-in - when I changed the channel, it went back to CNN (though without the audio feed). Playboy TV was still working, though, so... um, yeah. Overall, this review should be considered a 2.5, as I got a good night's sleep, and for the most part, I was comfortable. Looks like the Lemon Tree Motel will be my Plan B when planning future visits to Diamond Bar. read more

Sadly, I should have read the reviews before I booked. I just needed a place from 11pm-6am as a stop-over on my way to Palm Desert. The cigarette smell hits you the second you unlock the door. Literally permeating the room. The dark brown curtains looked 40 yrs old and would not open. The floors were tiled and as soon as we took off our shoes, our feet were black from dirt & soot! We found 2 cockroaches running around outside the bathtub and then my husband announced he was going to sleep in the car! (I had to beg him to stay) There was no furniture, no closet, nowhere to hang clothes, nor was there any nightstands next to the bed. Only a big square table under a television that got 3 channels. We slept on top of the bed on a blanket we had in our car. I went outside to check on our car several times during the night as there was some vagrant and sketchy people walking around the parking lot after midnite. In a word "disgusting!" But then again, shame on us as what do you expect for $98/nite? As the saying goes "you get what you pay for." Don't stay here even if its free!! read more

I usually expect a *bargain experience* at a hotel when there is glass between myself and the hotel staff. However, what we encountered was really a crummy experience for us.The halls outside the rooms were filled with broken furniture. Also, there were about 8 to 10 beds stacked up in the parking lot. The room was dismal and musty with minimal lighting. When the lighting failed, we left. read more

Six years ago, it was worth it, and the mattress were THE BEST, that's all gone now, no bed bugs, and they were able to refund my second night, and the son is cool. But I don't speak Korean so I don't think his older mother was happy about my 2nd night cancellation and yelled at him in front of me and people waiting to pay behind me. THE PROB. with this place, it's already over 40 yrs old, the good mattresses are long gone, prob stolen. AND the rest. above across the street has gone just average. Everything worked in our room and the ac is not the old old, but the newer low wall mount that most have... it can't be more than 2-5 yrs old and worked FINE! AND The Prob with this place, as I was saying earlier... is the people/gang/runners in the background running game all night AND IN BROAD DAYLIGHT....crack or low income multiple families in one room, living there. maybe making ends meet. But you are UNWELCOME, and in Their Territory... This was the w/e, but didn't matter... DON'T bring kids or valuables or nice cars NOR out of state rental cars...don't forget the key cash deposit, it is NEWER TECHNOLOGY THOUGH, good choice. you're a TARGET. Watch your back and your vehicle where you parked,...in the light. Its' just NOT SAFE at this time of writ, I believe POMONA PD does not do extra Patrol here. PERIOD. Maybe if I had an extra Million laying around (only worth about 225k-due to crime and rez') Pomona in the past has ALWAYS had it's issues, but now in the dark...it's worse. We got out alive, being watched by all and the RIFF RAFF. I sure hope the Family that own's this is able to SELL and re-invest into another prop elsewhere. Not good for them either. \PLUSES; AM/PM in the adjacent parking lot next door for 24 hr snacks and beverages and to feed the hungry in the motel that LIVE there. Sorry, just the truth of our one evening and day experience...TIME TO CHECK OUT! and run read more

If I could give it less then 1 star I would. Let me just say...the pics I seen online were very deceiving. So i was in a pinch and needed a place to crash for the night. I figure how bad could it be. Its by the Pomona Valley Mining Co and Fairplex. Cant be that bad right? WRONG! Outside looks ok. Inside looked like a bad scene from New Jack City!! Pink paint? REALLY? Door hinges busted up allowing easy access for a home invasion. Sink...Thrashed. Fire alarm falling off. And dont even get me started on the Bathroom. HORRIBLE. The bed? ha...well...i sat on it and there was NO way i was gonna sleep on that horrible box of a bed. And that god awful smell!!! I called the office and they said they could change my room. Thanks but no thanks. After i walked outside and finally noticed the Zombies lingering around I new...no way was i gonna get caught up in this apocalypse! i proceeded up to the office and spoke with the "Acting Manager" Gabriel and reasoned with him for a bit. In a nutshell there was no way im paying for the room. His response...."What did you expect...its Pomona". ha My laugh then turned to disappointment when he told me absolutely no refunds. SMH...what was i thinking? I always Yelp before I go. Lesson Learned. So...heres my story....if you want to find the birth place of Herpes...I'd give the Sour ass Lemon Tree a shot. P.S. I will be disputing with my bank and probably will be suing for pain, suffering, and possible contact with Ebola. Wish me luck. read more

If you are ok with sleeping in a bed likely frequented by hookers and truckers and you have no problem showering in a bath tub that was probably used to cook meth, feel free to get a room here. Really, I'm not picky, but this place is the stuff of nightmares. When I booked this motel (we were going to a show at the Fairplex), I ignored the reviews stating how gross this place was. Do not repeat my mistake. Let me paint a picture for you. Outside, the parking lot was littered with rotting trash. And a lot of it. Inside, there were handprints, scuff marks, and mold all over the walls. The curtains had huge rips in them. The furniture was ripped and stained with what could only be various bodily fluids. The sinks and tubs were discolored and cracked. Saw might have been filmed in the bathroom but I can't be sure. We ended up staying on a friend's couch after the show rather than sleeping here. Owner would not refund the ridiculous $135 we payed for this sh*thole. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE. YOU WILL INSTANTLY REGRET IT. I booked this motel on Expedia last minute, a week before the event I was going to, and chose it because it was the cheapest price and the pictures of the room looked fine on the website. Those pictures were lies. This was the most ghetto, dirty, and run-down motel I have ever seen. No joke, it looked like it was straight out of a horror movie. The bathroom was yellow, the door was yellow. The sheets did not feel clean. The door didn't even close and lock all the way. The front desk clerk took 45 minutes to check us in and said the room we had booked wasn't even available. He had no idea which rooms he even had. It was so unorganized. I am so surprised that this motel is even up and running. It was falsely advertised. Everything was so janky and old. Listen to the reviews on Yelp, everything that people are saying is correct. I paid $60 for a night and am trying to get a refund from Expedia for this horrid and uncomfortable experience. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIFIC MOTEL. read more

You definitely can't expect much from a motel. We were going to Hard Day of the Dead that weekend which was located at the Fairplex. The closest hotel was the Sheraton but it was about $350/night which i was not about to pay. One star for convenience. Luckily this hotel was the second closest hotel to the event. It was only 1.8 miles away. To me, the closer the better. Two stars for cheap pricing. Booked online with Priceline. No cancellation fees within 24 hours of reservation. I paid $85 plus taxes which equaled $93.50 for a sunday night reservation. It was quite odd that the check in time was 1:00pm which was quite an inconvenience since our event started at 11:00AM and we wanted to check in earlier so we can drop off all our stuff. I previously called ahead of time to see if we could check in earlier but the fobby asian lady on the phone said it all depends whether a customer will check out early and a room will be available. But fortunately we arrived here from San Diego later then expected but was able to check in around 12:00pm. There is a $5 cash only hold for the room key. The room key is like a USB instead of a card. You get your $5 back after returning the key upon check out. THE ROOM: Two queen size beds. Both beds were hard. Both beds had two pillows each.The pillows were super flat. The blankets are extremely thin. So DO bring your own blanket because it will get cold at night. One desk. One old shabby computer chair. One old school box tv with low quality television. One bed night stand. One lamp. One sink. One bathroom. The lighting on top of the sink is yellow and dimmed. Very low quality lighting, The bathroom was very dirty. Chipped paint. Stained walls. Dirty tub. The shower water completely soaked the shower curtains which caused water to create large puddles outside of the tub. At least the water stream was strong and the hot/cold settings were easy to use and adjust to the desired temperature. There is no hand soap. There are some complimentary soap bars, A tissue box and some clothes hangers. Overall, just your cheap place to stay for a night. Nothing more. read more

This place was disgusting. The first room they put me in was suppose to be a smoke free room but it reeked of cigarette smoke. The next room the put me in had no towels, no bath mat, no refrigerator, no toilet paper, no tissues. Tried to watch TV and the shows were full of snow so the cable sucked and the was no telephoned for me to call up front. The bathtub was grey and white like someone tried to spray paint it. I took a shower and walked to the bed and my feet were filthy from the floor. I don't care how inexpensive this place is I'd never stay here again. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: If we could give this zero stars, we would! Got there and instantly noticed bugs EVERYWHERE!! Bugs of the walls ceilings, bed, etc. Shower could literally cut your feet. We weren't in there for more than 10 mins for us to go to the office and complain. Manager knew it was dirty and directed us to a "cleaner" room. Why book out that room knowing it's dirty? Makes no sense. Oh and no refund after all of this. DO NOT STAY HERE! I'm not even sure how this place is still open. It was the most disgusting place we have ever seen! read more

All I can say is NEVER AGAIN. I got worried when I walked into the lobby and the receptionist is behind bullet proof plexiglass. We had to leave a $20 cash deposit in case we "graffitied the room". Our room was on the second floor and had to walk on an upstairs walkway made of plywood. The room had gang graffiti etched into the furniture. The nightstands had no knobs on them. There was something that looked like peanut butter on the ceiling. When we tried to check out there was no one there. We called and called and still no one. We waited about 30 minutes and left to go have breakfast. Unfortunately, we had to check out in person to get our $20 back. There was someone there when we got back from breakfast, so we were able to check out and get our deposit back. My advise is to avoid this place, unless it is your last resort. I took a long shower when I got home from this place. read more

Worst experience EVER!!! Stay far away bugs office staff is hiding behind glass I booked on a travel website the motel canceled that reservation because I didn't check in early I did call and let them know I was running late they charged me a higher rate than what was on the website booking and then after they charged my card they asked for cash on top of that when I messaged the booking site they confirmed the booking was active and they should have used that but because I had not checked in or canceled the day before the hotel could charge me full price for the booking plus fees the office staff after the booking site called then came to the room never knocked and opened the door even with the door in the locked position and the metal bar across they kicked me out after dark with no where to go and because it was valentines weekend most of the rooms in the area were over priced or booked it was a 3 day weekend and so Tuesday morning when the bank opened I had to go in and cancel my card and get a whole new one and that this is a common scam that motels do to get more money then at 1:45am I get a call from a blocked caller and they don't leave a message read more
