"It was nice"

"low water pressure. room was clean, breakfast was minimal."

"First let me say if you are looking for a uniform standardized chain hotel experience this is not the place for you. However, if you want a truly unique and amazing stay with history, charm and personality I highly recommend Vineyard Hacienda. The property and the room were spotless, warm and inviting while also a bit quirky. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s small, I would guess less than 10 rooms and more like a B&B vibe. It appears to have been a large Spanish Hacienda that was converted to a B&B. I don’t know the age of the property I "

"Mattress had springs sticking out. Flooring was lifting. There only sheets to cover yourself no warm blankets. Staff was nice"

"Was a beat up dump, needed paint, patching, new floor, an airing. Nice bed. Toilet clogs easily and flusher does not turn off the water--with both you get flooding of the floor. Neighborhood rife with addicts. One tenant dumping bucket of water from second floor balcony!!!"

"Hotel was clean, room comfortable. Check in was a breeze. Bar was lacking a bit."

"Amazing "

"This is an older, well-used property that shows the signs of its ageing. That said, it's safe, clean and well-maintained. It's a top value for its price and I would gladly stay there in the future."

"I hate to say it, and I’ll be the first to admit my standards for this kind of thing are lower than most, but this room was so bad that I checked out and got another room somewhere else 10 minutes after seeing it. The room wasn’t advertised as having a hostel-style shared bathroom and entry space, but I figured it was fine as long as the bathroom door locked - but it didn’t, and that’s just hugely gross and unsafe. The individual bedroom door wouldn’t reliably lock about 70% of the time either, getting stuck constantly. The smoke detectors were all ripped out, none of the outlets worked, the lights flickered, the surfaces were dirty, the bed was gross, and the bedroom itself was barely big enough to spread both your arms out in without hitting either wall. The low price and the comically Mr. Krabs-ian “NO REFUNDS” signage posted repeatedly should have tipped me off, but it’s just ridiculous they would leave even a budget room in this state and expect someone not to balk. I was prepared for a little discomfort so I could save money, but the safety issues that just kept mounting the more I looked were dealbreaking. I lost money in my attempt to save money; the clerk took pity on me and gave my $40 damage deposit back, which I do really appreciate, but their boss wouldn’t let them give me the rest, which is just silly as I was “checked in” for a total of 15 minutes (the clerk hadn’t even finished putting my info in the system by the time I called it quits). Avoid this place!"
