Ramada Temecula Old Town

My earlier stay was pleasant for the price, and the hotel felt new and clean, with useful basics like laundry, a pool, and a gym. The staff were fine but not especially friendly. In the evening they seemed as if I was interrupting their nap or whatever show they were watching. The area has bars, cheaper motels, and some riff raff nearby. I heard yelling outside, though nothing too worrying. It’s very noisy at all hours if your room faces the 15 freeway, so light sleepers should try for a second floor room. The wood floors also mean the guests above you can be insanely loud if you’re downstairs. On my latest stays I had two terrible nights of sleep, and one was entirely the staff’s fault. The first night I was sleeping in after working until 5am when housekeeping banged on my door for about 10 seconds, despite my Do Not Disturb sign. I yelled that I didn’t need service and was really shaken up. Then the front desk called to ask if they could come in, and I said no. I couldn’t get back to sleep, and it ruined my day. Apparently the fire department didn’t want to come back for an inspection after already being there. That wasn’t my problem, and it should have been arranged after checkout. I’m concerned they might have entered without permission if I’d been out, even with the sign on the door. That evening, guests upstairs were extremely loud. I woke up repeatedly to banging, stomping, and bags rolling over the hard floor. I slept until 15 minutes before checkout and had to rush out, without breakfast, just trying to get whatever sleep I could. I was visiting family and here for business, and got a better nap on my aunt’s couch after dinner. I mentioned the problems politely to the front desk because I’m easygoing and not a harsh critic. She gave me a generic sorry and said she’d tell management, but offered nothing in return. Given this experience, I’d say don’t stay here just to save money if you can afford somewhere else.
