Find all hotels by Independent in Murrieta, CA

"Unfortunately, our "Anniversary Get-A-Way" did not go as planned! The hotel/casino runs on a "skeleton crew" in all aspects of the hotel/casino during the week. Only on Thursday-Sunday do they have more staff, gaming, etc. The Spa has never re-opened since after COVID (a dealer stated that they will never open back up) So much for a romantic "couples massage." Only 2 restaurants and 1 cafe were open while we were there. The other restaurants are open only later in the week/weekend, forcing us to drive to Pechanga to find more eating establishments. I was looking forward to "relaxing by the pool" only to be informed by a staff member that it is NOT open. (this is Southern California for gods sake, with great weather most of the time and Spring Break week...it SHOULD be open!!) Front desk staff was just meh...didn't ask/care that we were there to celebrate our anniversary. Gaming also was sub-par...only 1 Pai Gow table open the entire stay and it is in the "high roller" section. Very limited dealers/tables open early in the week. Many times we had to "wait" for a spot/table to open. At least most of the dealers/housekeeping were very nice... I guess Pala does not care to cater to the guests that come early on in the week..only care about their "weekend guests!" Will NOT be returning and will be taking our "get a ways" somewhere else!"

"It was peaceful."

"Lovely pools, fitness classes and mud experience!!! Room was fantastic!"

"The rooms were very dated and had an odor I did not care for. I rented a room specifically for a jacuzzi tub but it was dirty upon arrival with what looked like ashes in the tub. I contacted the front desk about it and requested cleaning supplies to clean it myself because there were no comparable rooms available to switch me to & there was nobody available to clean the room. They didn’t even have any cleaning supplies. I had to wait until the next day for my tub to be cleaned despite paying extra specifically for a room with a tub. Breakfast was sub par. Did not even use the pool or hot tub because the whole vibe of the hotel was kinda sleazy. Not what I was hoping for. I guess you get what you pay for - but honestly at a rate of nearly $300 for 2 nights I feel like I surely overpaid. That said, the woman who checked me in was wonderful and was the only bright spot in the entire stay. They should promote her. "

"Very honest people. Apparently, I left my credit card in the room by mistake and housekeeping, found it and turned it in. Someone then called me and let me know that my credit card was there and that it was gonna be kept safe and I want picked it up the next day."

"Staff very proffesionl and friendly, ckes room , our room had a belcony, coffee maker, mini-fridge, microwave good size tv, love seat, desk, clean bathroom and makup lighting on separate switch "

"Location, location, location. Pictures are fairly deceiving. Hotel is fairly run down and not worth the price tag, but then again you are paying to be on the beach front and have access to the beach itself. "

"All good "
