Signature Temecula

10/10 Excellent
"We made a last-minute reservation and our room was near the freeway entrance. If you’re a light sleeper, the noise could be an issue, but we were able to sleep fine. The room was clean and included a mini fridge and microwave. Breakfast was continental style. Overall, we had a nice stay, and the location is convenient—close to Old Town."
