Bad communication

It started with bad communication and the continued threw the whole trip. We wanted to have an early check in but she didn’t answer or called me back, I call her like 10 times and my friend also called her multiple times, and she after that called my friend back. She also said they had Wi-Fi but the code we good didn’t work and when we told her she said she was going to look at it and text us back but she never did. Then the floor was really dirty, our feet got black just by walking around without shoes. And the bed was really hard, and one of the windows in the bedroom was always open so you heard the street really well and also the curtains was not darkened so the light in the morning really shined through so it was light in the bedroom pretty early.

Historical building

Love the location and the people were very friendly. We needed towels and a heater in the morning they dropped ot off but were not able to communicate with them again. The building is very old and it is historical building and had a lot of antiques. However, the hot water was very low pressure and they was the most uncomfortable part of the stay. I would book again but would ask about the water issue. Everything was in walking distance and the convention center and staples center were about a mile away. They even let my furkids stay and had a beautiful gated yard. Enjoyed the stay with the exception of the water issue.

Place was as described in the photos, had a couple issues with the place once we stayed. Front door of building had a busted lock, shower didn’t drain and had a lot of dirt so no shower, called to get it fixed but wanted us to stay there in order for someone to come fix it and we weren’t canceling our plans, lastly we came back around 2 am and were locked out of building due to lock being changed and no extra key left in lockbox. Oh ya and no AC

Horrible experience. The owner was impossible to reach, the property smelled like cat poop, the room was dirty, dusty and unsafe (as the window next to the bed was broken). Don't stay here. We didn't. We arrived at the location, the Uber driver was scared for us. We contacted Expedia and they told us to leave because the property owner shouldn't ask for your credit card info via message, as they did. Luckily, we didn't share any ingo. We ran away the very same day. Seriously, don't stay here..

Staying at the Historic Alvarado Terrace felt like staying at a Bed & Breakfast. The room we stayed in had a victorian feel in the breakfast nook, and nice homey touches like small photos and hanging lamps and decorations that you don't find in most hotels. I wasn't expecting a full suite when I booked, but it looks like all rooms come with a separate bedroom and living room area and a mini kitchen (full kitchen in some rooms). The photos don't do this hotel justice, and I was pleasantly surprised after checking in. The owner Candace was super accommodating and you can tell she really cares about her guests. She really went out of her way to make more convenient arrangements for myself and some other guests. She was at the hotel day and night working and taking care of anything that needed to be done. I was a little hesitant to book initially because the area seemed slightly run down, but it was quiet at night, and only about a 15 min walk from the downtown convention center area. We really enjoyed staying here and will definitely book again in the future!

I don't mind a property being a bit rustic, or bohemian, but if the floors are as dirty as these were, there was a leak from the sink, and fridge, dangling wires from the ceiling, and when I saw on the stained furniture I started to itch, and my eyes started burning. I tried calling the property, and received no answer, the voicemail for them was full, or turned off. I booked another place and considered the money I used to book the Alvarado a loss. I hope they work on the issues I've listed here. But I don't think I'd ever book here again.

Some effort had been made to clean (toilet had been sanitized, bedding was fresh) there were still problems….previous occupant had left (spoiled) food in the oven, pubic hairs on washbasin, bath mat soiled, no lighter for gas stove, no cutlery. When I messaged they bought a lighter. Worst of all was trying to find the place and gain access after an overnight flight….there was no response from the facility when I called. When we located the lockbox there was no key inside.

Our room was not ready when we arrived, the bed was slept in, the trash was full and had clumps of hair in it. There were used and wet towels on the floor. We tried calling Candice, but she did not pick up and the voicemail box was full. I took pictures and texted them to her, she never responded. The room was unsanitary, so we had to find a different place to stay at the last minute. Extremely disappointed. She did make sure to fully charge our card anyway.

Unacceptable

It’s supposed to be NO star if you have. This property is not in a living condition. The owner should have not rented this out. I have to leave and find another place to stay after the first night. Broken window. NO heat. Water barely working. Dirty towels. Not clean/spider webs. Waste 1/2 hour at 2:30am in the morning due to wrong code and cannot reach the management until third calls. Waste a lot of my time and money. Truly I expect a full refund from this incident. Unacceptable. 😭😭😭

When I checked in there, I never met the person in charge of the hotel, and when I called the contact number, no one came, so it was inconvenient to receive the room key." I didn't see the hotel staff when I checked out, so I was instructed to leave the key on the table in my room. The hotel bill I signed at Expedia was paid locally, so I put it on the table in the room with the key and closed the key with a thumb turn and left the room. The room was thoroughly cleaned, but the bed was not made, and I was stunned when the sheets and covers were piled up." "There was no air conditioner, TV and refrigerator in the room, so it was inconvenient." The windows also had no noise-preventing effect, and the noise of the car was noisy at night. I was in bad condition in the early September heat.

Washroom smells bad. Has some sewer issues. So hot inside. A few about to die plastic fans do nothing. Shower gives boiling water for a moment and cold for long time and hot water leaks to your feet from the leaking hot water tab. All the furniture is super stained. Dead bugs all around. The kitchen sink tap leaks to spray you clothes. We cut a water bottle to put in it to drain the leaked water down. The communications from the property operator is amazingly good but with all the wrong information. Building number was wrong. Parking address was misleading. You to juggle to tryout a code to open on of the many realtors’ lock and that code applies to none. You make an international call to the property operator and you are told that the code you received for this checkin without human interaction is wrong. Let me stop here. Though there is a lot more to write.

I want to give an honest review about my experience. I will start by saying it is not all bad. They woman I spoke to when coordinating my stay was nice and I did see her try to correct some of the issues of the stay. I will also say the room I stayed in was spacious as well. Unfortunately this didn’t not outweigh some of the significant challenges I experienced while staying here. Pros: Travel coordinator seems very nice, saw her attempt to correct issues. Room was spacious. Cons: communication in difficult, information is not relayed in timely or clear fashion. Didn’t receive info on how to get in building till hour before I arrived (3 hours after earliest check in time) and I didn’t get room number until after I arrived and waited with no response. No staff onsite. So if you need help you may find it had to get it. Hard copy key did not work on front door was locked out twice, (one time I left my keys and had to wait over hour in middle of night to be let in, but after I realized the keys didn’t work on door at all so having them would have made no difference), left something in room couldn’t get back in to get it because keys didn’t work. Neighborhood seems questionable. Water barely work in my room, no hot water, couldn’t even shower or wash hands in bathroom. No internet unlike advertised, no one to fix it, had to use hotspot and will end up paying extra for data usage on bill with month. No air conditioning which was not ideal in summer is California.
