Harden Flat Vacations from $232

We were just swinging through on our way to San Francisco and needed a quick place to crash and I didn’t check the reviews first. The hotel was comically bad, with old grime in the windowsills and furniture that looked like it had been found in the street. Bathroom rack was broken, no soap or shampoo or coffee. The floorboards were held together with a sticky tar, and the room had been completely painted over, including the plugs and switches and parts of the door. The guy at the desk was nice enough, but if you were trying to put together “crummy hotel” this is what it would look like. I didn’t see any of the cockroaches, but others were complaining about, and in terms of functionality we were able to sleep, but as others have pointed out, it’s in a terrible neighborhood and even though we came in late, there were shady characters hanging out on walkways and sleeping in cars in the parking lot - definitely the bad side of town. It does seem like people are reviewing these reviews, so if you want to do something about it, even just changing out the plate covers for a few bucks, fixing the broken fixtures and basic general maintenance would really spruce the place up. It was about the same price as a motel six but it didn’t meet that basic standard of a room you would feel comfortable sleeping in.

Great location

Very clean, beautiful property. Pool and hot tub are absolutely delightful.

I love this place. It was extraordinarily clean. The room was bright and pet friendly. I travel with my cats and they also loved it. The staff were extraordinarily helpful. I asked for some towels. He came in two minutes. Unfortunately I didn’t get to try the breakfast because I overslept. One really sad thing is that the elevator is out of service. Hopefully next time when I go back that can be fixed.
