Unfortunately this was one of my worst experience with hotels. Everything started from the reception desk as the employee has been very rude from the beginning and with attitude as well. The whole campus was smelling marijuana with people cursing everywhere.

The rooms appeared run down. No frills, bare minimum. No vanity, dresser or closet. Lighting was very dim. Floors were poorly kept up(stained). TV very few channels. One night no security showed up and facility was very noisy up to 3:30 in the morning. Staff Was not accommodating to complaint of noise, specifically Michael as well as another gentleman whose name I did not get. I will say the young lady who checked us in was very accommodating the night of 7/20/25. We will not be staying here again.

Great service up front

This place is a section 8 housing hotel. There are vagrants everywhere. A completely unsafe area for a family. I found one resident smoking crack 2 doors down and one sitting on the stairs looking like he was tripping. This place is right under the freeway and next to the train tracks. The lady up front checking in was awesome. Super helpful. Super nice young lady. Stay away from this place. It worked for what we needed but would never come back.

The noise was rowdy until about 1am, when I complained to MICHAEL (night clerk) he told me “if the noise is really bothering you, you can call the police”. I told him “that’s YOUR job”. Kids were running races in parking lot and yelling and screaming. The adults with these kids were smoking blunts and standing on the stairs. At 6am the same people were talking loud and playing their music very loud, with a BOOM BOOM BOOM, right in front of our room. Called the front desk and was told they were busy and they would come out as soon as possible (which never happened). Second night was better, noise quieted down at about 11:30pm.

Horrible E-Z 8 Motel - It was not E-Z it was Old!

When I checked into the E-Z 8 Motel, I was required to present a government ID for everyone in my family—an unusual request that immediately raised concerns. The room bore no resemblance to the photos, which had shown vibrant colors and a modern layout with a bathtub, sink, and vanity. Instead, we found a drab, outdated space. The desk was so worn it looked like it belonged in a junkyard, and the beds were extremely uncomfortable, with only saggy springs to support us. The bathroom was especially disappointing: it looked decades old, with just a thin curtain for a door, no separate vanity, a basic free-standing sink, toilet, and a shower without a curtain. The condition of the motel was so poor that my family pleaded with me to leave. We ended up not staying at E-Z 8, leaving the room for the next guest/sucker. Before reserving the room, I checked the E-Z 8 Motel’s reviews— there were glowing 10 out of 10 scores, which I now question their validity, given my experience. I paid $235 for a room that was nothing like what was advertised, with subpar, outdated furnishings and amenities. I am therefore requesting a full refund for the E-Z 8 Motel’s failure to deliver on what was promised.
