Harbor Inn & Suites La Habra

I had stayed here a few days earlier in room 202 and that visit was fine. I came back because my window at home had been broken for several days, but this time I was in room 105 and felt terrified. I was personally sex trafficked for almost a year in 2017, and that history made what I saw especially unsettling. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel I should warn people. The bed frame was metal with an empty space underneath. The headboard sounded completely hollow when I knocked, and there seemed to be a lever or access point behind it, which I was too uncomfortable to touch. I could hear the next room's conversations clearly, along with plumbing noises and what sounded like their bathroom fan running day and night. The peephole also seemed visible from both sides when I noticed it reflected in the mirror. The key fob receiver on the door was broken and held together with duct tape. Inside, the bed had several stains that didn't look like fresh laundry. I didn't fall asleep until about 3 a.m. and was soon woken by constant ringing from another room. There was also banging, running fans, people talking, and dogs barking. I woke up more tired than before. The sheets gave me hives, too. I'd booked a standard double, expecting a regular-sized room with two beds, but the room felt closet-sized, easily under 100 square feet, with hardly any room to move or feel safe. They don't accept cash, which might not concern everyone, but alongside everything else it raised worries for me about possible fraud scams. There was no late checkout even in these circumstances, and the front desk manager, Sam, was rude and dismissive when I brought up my concerns. I can't see anything redeeming about the place, and based on the room and safety concerns, I can't believe it's up to code. I wouldn't recommend it. If affordability leaves someone with no choice but to stay somewhere like this, I'd suggest bringing cameras and pepper spray.

We spent the weekend here and had a bad stay from start to finish. The room was uncomfortable, the beds were too, and there was a cockroach inside. We barely had any toilet paper, and the desk staff were no help. Be careful with your card here. They said they couldn't find a reservation under our names, then a week later charged us $90 because, apparently, we hadn't canceled it. We were scammed out of $90, and the whole thing made no sense. I'd pick somewhere else if I could do it again.

We've been coming back here on and off for about three months while we wait to buy a home and don't have anywhere else to stay. The staff have treated us well and are always friendly. We're comfortable here, and this hotel has been very good to us during the wait.

The room was tiny, the floor felt very sticky, and there was mold in the bathroom. I also found roaches inside. The location wasn't good for me, far from everything, and during the two nights I stayed, ambulances and police cars were going around town all night. The guy in the office looked like he didn't care about customers.
