Guest Reviews
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Great place good location very accommodating big rooms n easy to get in/out of
- Michael (4/5): - The doorknob lock would not open with the electronics. Then they waited-delayed getting locksmith for 3 hours while we’re stuck outside in rain. Cleanliness: the towels were moldy, flooring had dry pet urine, previous persons left us dirty food bowl, shower needed cleaning.
- Otgonzul (2/5): - 0 star!!!!
- Otgonzul (2/5): - Worst experience ever!!!
I stayed for 2 nights over Christmas. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Our room was on the 1st floor, and water was leaking from the room upstairs. I discovered it at 6:00 a.m., and some of my clothes were wet. I couldn’t use the laundry because it was busy since the night before, and I didn’t have time to wait.
- Otgonzul (10/5): - Nice and clean
- Ivan (10/5): - 5 Star
- Bianca jane (6/5): - Ok
- Amyah (8/5): - Great stay overall. I just wish it wasn’t so cold in the building. Couldn’t find a thermostat. I know it’s Cali , but the nights I was there.. it was very cool outside. Otherwise I loved it.
- Georgia (10/5): - Loved it
- Georgia (10/5): - The imterior design set the perfect tone it felt like a small upscale hostel. So clean, all the ammenities, its in a neighborhood with a Roscoes and in driving distsnce to cvs/ Ralphs etc.
- Mia (10/5): - Room was very clean, house was clean and stylish.
- Dele (6/5): - My initial impression of Dondo Stay was positive, but that changed quickly upon arrival. I arrived late at night after an 8-hour drive, expecting a clean and secure space. Unfortunately, my bathroom was not clean (shaved hairs in the sink and hair in the shower), and the bed sheets were mismatched and covered in lint, which made me question whether they had been laundered at all.
More concerning was the lack of basic security. The front door was not functioning properly, and a side door had been left unlocked. Another guest actually stopped me to ask how to get into the house, as the entry mechanisms were not working — which further heightened my discomfort.
A dog right outside my window barked through the night.
When I contacted the hotel about the unclean room, I was told housekeeping could come clean it “now.” At that point, given the condition of the room and safety concerns, I chose to leave a day early. Communication throughout the stay felt impersonal and scripted, almost as if I were texting with AI bots. I received a generic “thank you for letting us know,” followed the next day by a message outlining checkout procedures, even though I had already left.
I later received a message asking me to leave a positive review in exchange for 15% off a future stay. Needless to say, I will not be returning.
While the concept has potential, cleanliness, safety, and meaningful human communication must be non-negotiable in hospitality. Sadly, all three were lacking here.
- Bianca (10/5): - Nice
- DMITRIY (10/5): - Virtual check-in is good, quick communication. It is an Airbnb-type stay in a residential area.
- Gian Caro (10/5): - The rooms are nice
- Dori (2/5): - Room was not cleaned after last guest stayed. Bathroom was filthy, bed was not made, trash was still in garbage cans, and overall disgusting.
- Alicia (8/5): - Helpful and reliable accommodation for local stay while working in town
- Jessica (8/5): - The room itself was beautiful and such a great price. Very quiet and clean. The entire home was spotless and well attended. Loved my comfy bed and big shower. Only thing that was a bit stressful was finding my way in. The listing on Expedia said my room was in unit B, but it was actually in unit A. So I’m lucky I just ended up trying the code on both units and finding my way inside. I think in general the listing and checking in to the property could use some more communication and clarity. Otherwise the experience was great!
- Ephron (6/5): - never received access codes, wasted an hour trying to get a hold of someone to get in. no information about where the towels might be (they were in the dryer). pathetic.
- Marisa (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay here and appreciated the cleanliness and decor in the room.
The only downside during my trip was someone accidentally opened the door to my room and not sure if it was another guest but I just made sure to lock my door.
