2-Star Hotels in California, United States

"Great stay at Hotel Mira Vista! The King room was spacious, clean, and comfortable — perfect for a trip with my spouse. The bed was cozy and the bathroom was clean with all the essentials. The location was excellent, right next to the MRT station, making it super easy to get into downtown San Francisco. Amenities were solid too — stable wifi, good air conditioning, and a working TV. Staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable stay at a reasonable price with convenient access to the city center. We'd definitely consider staying here again next time we're in the area."

"The room was very clean and cleaned every day. Unlike many hotels in the United States, it was cleaned once in two or three days. This should be praised. The hotel has tickets for United Studios, a little discount, this is also possible. The hotel is an underground garage, 15 knives a night. There is a guest laundry room, there is a washing machine and a dryer, there are fewer machines."

"The surrounding environment is okay, but the rooms inside are really bad and very dirty, the furniture is very old, and the mattress is too soft and uncomfortable. It feels like everything has been used for a long time."

"The location is perfect. They ask for a credit/debit card when checking in. Kitchen is closed from 10pm to 7:30am. It’s also comfy to get there by bus from the airport and to get by bus/metro with connections to almost anywhere. They also are ok if you’ll aborder a package in the lobby. Room is sweet and has a shower. Beds are with curtains. There’re shelves and sockets in each bed. Hostel provides towels and shampoo/body wash and conditioners. Lockers are small, so the suitcase won’t fit, but it’s okay for valuables. Breakfast consists of bagels, toast bread, granola bars, oranges, tea, instant oats and butter. There’s only fridge, no freezer. Target/trader’s Joe is where Santa Monica is. Hostel has a wending machine with snacks and there’s a small grocery in the next building. The only thing is that I lived there for 3 days and rooms wasn’t cleaned (floor and bins). It caused full bins and dusty floor. All other hostels I stayed in, cleaned every day."

"Remember to bring your own slippers and a padlock. You'll need to go up one flight of stairs to the second floor for check-in. It might be a bit tough if you have a lot of luggage, so a backpack is recommended. The front desk is 24-hour, and the staff are very friendly. Guests come from all over the world, creating a nice atmosphere (though everyone still maintains polite distance). You can store your luggage in advance. Towel and hairdryer are provided; you can ask for them at the front desk. Hairdryers must be returned after use. Upon check-out, you need to place used sheets and towels in the recycling bin. When storing food in the kitchen fridge, make sure to label it. Pros: Excellent location: Very close to the subway station, just one stop to Universal Studios. The hostel itself is right on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so attractions are right outside. There's also a supermarket nearby if you want to cook in the kitchen. Breakfast provided: Simple breakfast starts at 7 AM (coffee, bagels, fruit, oatmeal, etc.). Beds have shelves, USB ports, and blackout curtains: The shelves are handy for small items, the USB ports are convenient for charging, and the blackout curtains block light and add a bit more privacy. There's a small changing area in the room (in the 4-person female dorm). Cons: The entire building has a strong smell, either of cleaning products or insect repellent. The kitchen isn't 24-hour (it seems to be 7 AM-midnight). You can't cook at night (jet lag might wake you up then!) Minor inconveniences (not necessarily cons): The main entrance requires ringing the doorbell for front desk staff to open it, as you can't use a card. While a bit inconvenient, it's understandable. Being in a bustling area, this measure enhances security. Overall, it's still good, and I would book here again if the opportunity arises."

"It’s walking distance to Disneyland take you around the 25 minutes. The only complain is the Reception that charged me more than what I should pay when I booked a hotel on the trip.com. That means Trip.com mentioned how much I should pay at the hotel but the hotel charged me more than that excuse for tax."

"Maria is so helpful. Appreciate your assistance. I am sorry if I mad you feel bad if I need to get the card and did not trust you to run it. It's just that I am just following my aunt's instructions. Peace! This location is superb and mere fact they allow pets it's an extra great thing about this hotel. Just across Americana at the brand, surrounded by good restaurants and accessible to public buses and very reasonable price, this one is a great place to stay in. Thank you so much again."

"The location felt reasonably safe. Before checking in, you'll receive the door code from the host. After completing the online check-in prior to arrival, you can go straight to your room without needing to stop at the front desk. The cleanliness was acceptable. Each bed has its own locker."

"Good, safe location. Room and bathroom were fine, although an entire dresser was missing from the room and everything was situated on top of the fridge. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and allowed me to leave my bag prior to checking in. The guy at the night desk didn't bother to say hi back though."
