The water pressure was non-existent and never got hot water in the bathroom sink. The bathroom faucet vet was loose. I was told at check I needed to check out in person, I had to be at an event very early in the morning so I drove back to check out and the office was closed. I called the number on the door and was told just to put the key in a drop box. I wasted at least an hour and 20 miles to drive back. I was not happy and told them so.

Keep in mind that this is an inexpensive motel - The check in was alright and we stayed on the bottom floor, as seniors, that is nice. The room was alright- LOVED the fridge size. There was a two burner kitchenette but NO utensils, pot or pan or anything to use. The door was questionable- seriously did NOT close flush. There were quite a few transient people there staying, we believe subsidized. Though quiet, so good there. No air conditioning unit- no ice machine. We bought a fan there because temps were in the 80's and ice at the store. NO microwave, which I did go to inform the office immediately. The nice clerk look surprised and thought there was one in there. I invited her to check and asked if there was one in a room not yet rented.... three nights and no. But again the three 'S's' - sleep, shower and figure it out.

The staff was amazing very friendly and went for the extra mile.

It was 80 something dollars, so I really shouldn’t complain. However, I would have rather paid an extra $20 for the surrounding places and got some sleep. It was 78 in the room and the A/C didn’t work. The door didn’t latch all the way and oh my god the noise. Idk what the heck the people upstairs were doing but all night, stomping and pacing the room, I could hear metal clanging, but mainly the insane stomping. ALL NIGHT. I don’t wake easily, I have 7 kids at home and can sleep though just about anything. Not here. The noise was so loud I felt like it was either done purposeful, or these people were on some crazy drugs. The check in people were nice, the room was clean, the toilet kept running on and off all night too. Cheap stay, but if you’re looking for sleep, go elsewhere.

The A/C is failed and the windows are screwed shut. The pool is filled in with concrete. Other residents and guests smoke in the courtyard, and leave cigarette butts on the courtyard furniture and patio. The kitchenette range hood is hazardous to your head and does not vent to outside. However the rooms are neat and clean.

I enjoyed staying two days in the Varsity West.I stayed two nights visiting Olympic Park.The room was clean and the property was in a great location for me. I had an issue with my door, apparently the battery gave up in the door latch and I couldn’t get in. It was repaired in thirty minutes. Great job. I have been on the road for 40 days.If this room had air conditioning It might have been my best room. It wasn’t that hot during my stay, eighty degrees. But if it had been hotter it might have been difficult. Thanks Varsity for a great stay.

This is going to sound mostly negative but I really was pleased with the stay overall. I walked in to an 80 degree room that continued to blow warm air even with the AC turned on at the wall unit, so had to turn it off entirely and have the window open all night. So the heat works really well! A/C might have been turned off for the season? Not sure. The bed was really firm...there were no cooking utensils, no pots or pans to utilize the cook top, no mugs or even paper hot cups to utilize the coffee supplies and coffee pot provided, empty cupboards entirely, no plastic cups for drinking water, couldn't get hot water at the kitchen or bathroom sinks but the shower was nice and hot. The microwave didn't work when I got in late and tried to warm up my dinner leftovers. It didn't seem like the floors had been mopped as there was a substance dried on the floors in both the bathroom and main room. There was also unopened food left in the fridge from previous tenant. It honestly was a decent little spot to stay if you are willing to addapt to the little things. For how old the building is, the exterior looked acceptable and the upgrades were nice and it was a quiet place. Safe parking too and the staff I encountered were genuine and thoughtful. Bedding was clean and YES, I would stay here again.

Good reception & staff, room was small but had it all - liked the kitchenete, except the door to microwave could not be opened. Unfortunately, out heater did not work in the room - fortunately, we had a HD sleeping bag that we could use on the bed. Showers are a little \"funky\" in that it came from a high place & my partner (on the shorter side) could not use it without showering her head, which she did not want to do and did not have a shower cap. Strange that the $50.00 deposit had to be collected at another hotel. Otherwise, quiet and convenient.

The building and the room was clean,fluffy and absorbenant towels were provided but the bathroom sink had a big crack in it and the drain was clogged, it took several minutes for it to drain after only brushing my teeth. kitchenette but no preparation space whatsoever and only one very small trash can so anyone staying more than one day will need daily room service. If I could, I would give this facility a 2.5 overall rating for several other reasons as well: I made my reservation in advance and the front desk was aware, they had a stack of card Keys ready to be distributed, however the room was absolutely freezing. I stayed there during winter weather so it's expected to be cold but you would think that they would at least turn the heat on. The floors were bare except one small rug that only covered the area by the door and when I asked I was told only rooms on the first floor were available, so another reason for them to make sure that the rooms that were going to be occupied were warm. There was a wide enough space in the door jamb to see light from outside so I stuffed several Kleenex to stop the cold air coming through, the bed was right next to the front door and only a sheet and a very thin blanket were provided. An additional blanket would have helped. I arrived the room was 61°, I turned the heat on and it took over 2 hours for the room to get warm. Except for the area near the door the room stayed at a comfortable temperature during the night.

Manager needs training in how to handle disputes with customer. Buyer beware, this place use your credit card not debit, have to wait over a week to get $50 because of their mistake.

The property itself was fine it was a nice room. There was a very nice woman on the property but she wasn't really available officially. They had nobody there except on Friday and Saturday I think for several hours. It was merged with another motel. You had to go to the other motel to register for the motel I stayed in. Fortunately I ended up at the other one first and registered. It was dark I do not drive in the dark I had to find my way which was not hard in a town I'm not that familiar with. I drove over to curbs I think. Then it was a locked facility which is good but I had some sort of trouble. The fact that Expedia did not tell me that I had to go to another motel to get into the motel I stayed in is absolutely horrifying. I've never encountered anything like this. So the motel was good but the experience and having to go to another place first was horrible.

The property itself is nice and comfortable. However, Expedia and the property did not say you had to go to another motel to check in; when I arrived it was dark and I do not drive in the dark but I did. It was horrifying to not just get to your motel and go to sleep. We should have been informed. A nice woman named Tina did show up and help me but no one was in the office, although there is partly on the weekend now. It has a gated fence and push buttons etc. Things are not clear -- I was in C106 but hard to see the C, D etc. It has very nice washing machines. The water pressure in shower is so low I could not get my washrag wet. I could not figure out the remote but I never can. Please put a notice up that explains how to use 2 remotes. I could not watch TV much because I could not get it to work. All in all, the facility is nice, good location, but to not be told that you had to drive to a new motel after checking in to another was horrible. You need a full time or 2 part time people on the property to help...you could get people for free rent I think.

I booked a stay at Valley View at King Oscar expecting a hotel, but upon arrival, I discovered it’s actually a residential leasing property — not a hotel as advertised. The listing is extremely misleading.

The residents appear to be long-term tenants, and the environment felt unsafe. I saw multiple cars with shattered windows in the parking area, which was very concerning. I did not feel comfortable staying and left without checking in.

This place is not suitable for travelers and should not be listed as a hotel. I strongly advise others to avoid booking here unless you're fully aware of what you're getting into.

Given the misrepresentation and safety concerns, I am requesting a full refund for this booking. I did not stay at the property and believe the listing violates basic expectations of transparency and traveler safety.

I’ve also reported this issue to the booking platform and relevant consumer protection agencies. I urge others to be cautious and verify listings before booking.
