Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Cozy, clean, great price. The Los Banos Hotel, under new management, was a clean and inviting place for me during a rather difficult time. Upon moving to this town in Jun of 2009 for work I had no place to live and was trying to buy my own home. With limited funds I ended up at this hotel and was not only given a great deal on the room but the staff went out of their way to make my stay better. Clean room and bed that was cleaned meticulously every day while I was working. Nothing beats getting off work and having a fresh and clean room to come to. I would highly recommend this place to the weekend traveler or people looking for a longer stay.”
