Legacy Inn & Suites Garden Grove, CA

For $100, it wasn’t bad, though I hadn’t expected much. Hotels even 25 miles away were booked, so this was the only place available. I had a non-smoking room. It smelled a bit odd, and the pillows weren’t comfortable, but the bed was fine. I’d bring your own towel.

There were hairs on the pillow, bed bugs, and huge flying cockroaches. The place was filthy. The manager spent the three days we were there in a bad mood, yelling at random guests, and tried to hit on my wife while I was away. Housekeeping steals, in my experience. I also felt privacy was a concern: there are cameras everywhere, and someone told me there may be hidden cameras in rooms, possibly through the TV or in the bathroom. Staff enter rooms when they see you leave to see what they can take. Stay away. The rooms are overpriced.

The room was much bigger than we expected, and it was pretty nice and clean. They also provided towels, pillows, blankets, and other equipment. My only complaint was the strong smell they use to freshen the rooms.

We gave this place a second chance, and we won’t be back. Even the pillows had stains, and the first time my boyfriend and I stayed, the sheets were stained and the comforter had blood on it. We actually had to buy blankets and pillows to get through the stay. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It cost $120, and there are cleaner, better places for that price. They always seem to say there’s just one room left. We booked in the morning, and the woman said they only had one smoking room, even though the parking lot was empty both at night and in the morning.
