A GREAT place to stay. I work in the area during the week and always choose to stay here - very clean, very quiet, very comfortable. Plenty of TV to choose from and very close to everything. Rooms have a fridge and microwave too. I'm all set.

Check-in was a bit strange. I had to call a phone number and a man answered, the man then called the person working at the front desk. The employee seemed less than pleased to see me, said maybe one or two words, and gave a half smile. To be fair, it was around 11:30 p.m., so I understand it was late.

The room itself looked clean, aside from the uninvited cockroach on the wall. He was friendly at least, and welcomed me to the property.

The room had several odd maintenance issues. One bedside lamp had a blue light bulb that looked like someone had colored it with a Sharpie. The other bedside lamp didn’t work because it was missing the bulb entirely.

The TV also had an accessibility feature enabled that announced everything I did (for example, “Volume 15”). I spent about five minutes looking through the settings but couldn’t find a way to turn it off.

I went back to the front desk to ask about changing rooms, but no one was there.

Checkout was a much better experience. The gentleman working that morning was very friendly and helpful.

Overall, I’d only recommend staying here if you need a last-minute place to sleep.

Stayed a weekend (Fri-Mon). Was looking for a cheaper hotel compared to the higher end was much too expensive for a weekend trip. However I traded price for better quality. While the staff was nice there were things a hotel should not have. Dried blood on the curtains. The curtain was also broken. The A/C smelled like mildew every time it came on. The bathroom vent/ fan looked as if it had never been cleaned. The pool wasn’t very clean. We received fresh towels but the were either dirty or stained. The toilet seat moved because it was extremely loose. It was supposed to be smoke free but another room continued to smoke weed and it reeked. There was never any turn down service. So while it may have free WiFi, free parking. It was lacking practically everything else you’d want from a hotel. You trade quality for a lower price tag but it’s not worth the stay sadly.

The room was clean on the first night. On the 2nd day when we asked a Housekeeping Services member if she was going to clean our room she said no. When we returned to the room at 10pm we were locked out. We went to speak to someone at the front office & no one was available. We had to call a number, and then wait for someone to come and assist us. We were only given 1 fixed key card, & had to explain that we needed 2. We were given the 2nd key card and the office manager had a negative attitude. When we finally got into the room Housekeeping had not been there at all. They also don't have ADA accommodations. This is not the place for permanently or temporarily disabled people, or injured persons of any age, or the elderly. Customer service was so bad, and no one should be subjected to that type of treatment especially when you're paying for it.

What I liked: Inexpensive. Across the street from a Denny's.
What I didn't like: Bare floor. Smell of lysol. Office person who didn't speak English and couldn't answer any questions. Sink that didn't drain well. No one there to turn key in to (I have no idea how much money they took from my credit card or if they took any.) And I am really hoping I did not bring home any bedbugs.

This is a solid choice for a budget stay in Temecula. Location is great (very walkable to everything in the Old Town area and easy freeway access. It's an older motel for sure, with minimal amenities, but it's clean and the staff is friendly. They don't offer breakfast, but if you stay here, do yourself a favor and eat at Penfold's which is a diner in the mini mall 2 doors down. Excellent food there ad huge portions (you can likely share a meal if you're traveling with someone).

Everything is ok here - as you would expect for the type of accommodation - except for the staff. Horrible service. I booked 4 nights and my key card stopped working EVERY DAY! I had to keep going back to re-program it. And this is AFTER I told the lady at the front desk I was there for another three nights. She didn’t speak english apparently and neither did the old man who was there on checkout. The first night I arrived, the lady came strolling out of the back room and was confused. She called her son (I think) on the phone and put the phone up so I can see it. All I heard was an exchange between them on speaker in a foreign language. I had no idea what was going on. She finally gave me a key but as I said above, it stopped working the next day and the day after that, AND the day after that. So annoying and frustrating. I had to keep going back to the office from my room with my hands full from shopping, etc. and then back to my room. The owner is obviously too to cheap to hire proper staff and has to use your elderly parents - who don’t speak english and don’t know what they’re doing - to check people in and out. Ridiculous.

The room was clean, we even checked the mattress, and all linen, including towels. The toilet seat was wobbly but we forgot to report it. The hotel is quaint and staff is kind but did not give us a printout when we requested it at checkout, perhaps the older woman could not handle the request... AC cooled down the room and was surprisingly on the quieter side. The fridge was really cold so that was great. The TV had a basic Satellite service. All the plugs we used worked. The bathroom had 2 full shower dispensers and there were more times on the sink, including hand soap. There is an oldie hair dryer by the sink that we did not try.

Mean staff, they kept my deposit when I chose this place because it says they are cat & dog-friendly however, it could not be farther than the truth! From the 2 times I called prior to booking being ASSURED they were pet-friendly - cats too, I told them I had 2 cats- service animals with papers (proof), they kept my deposit, stole my bank debit card. Charged several hundreds of dollars to my card before I could lock my card. I realized only a half hour later from my check out my csrd was missing from my wallet. They also stole $60 worth of my personal brand new belongings, charged my card with Mexican purchases outside of this country not once, but 6 times! I was lied to and told they didn’t clean my room yet, they did, they didn’t, what was the truth?! All I know is I was treated like crap from the moment I walked in handicapped/disabled till moment I checked out, lied to & robbed by them & their staff! I DO NOT RECOMMEND

VERY NICE BUT A COUPLE OF GLITCHES

This is our second stay at Rancho California Inn. Everything was very good except two things. Maybe it was my own skin sensitivity or the detergent they use, but the sheets caused me to itch. Sheets smelled good and were clean, so maybe it was me but next time I will bring my own. Another thing is that both rooms we stayed in had small roaches. We mentioned it to the manager and he said they spray all the time, so maybe this was in between sprays.

Other than that, we enjoyed the pool and friendliness of other guests and management. Restaurants are close by and the inn is walking distance to Old Town and 15 minutes from Pechanga.

Reigns supreme in every way

Well, I’m returning guest at the Rancho California and and I have to say the experience just gets better and better.
This time we went to gamble at Pechanga, which is one freeway exit away but away from traffic and we went to Wine country, which is just up the hill and lastly, we went to old town. Old town has many many shops and many many restaurants and bars and a lot of tourist Souvenir shops. It’s so close to the hotel you can walk there.
After going in seeing the sites, it’s nice to come back to a very plush updated hotel room that has absolutely everything. The beds are absolutely comfortable and I’ll tell you these people even clean the air-conditioning so you don’t breathe bad air filters are fresh. I cannot say enough about this Experience.

My future in Temecula, California will always have this hotel as my primary stay
