Coalinga Travelodge is the last of our choices when drove down the Interstate 5. Not exactly an Interstate in California that is known for pittoresque towns and nice hotels. At Coalinga I was too tired to drive any further. Harris Ranch was full, so was Best Western and Motel 6, so Travelodge was our last option. They had vacancy (big... more

My husband and I stayed here on our way up the 5 freeway on a road trip. The smell at 7 pm when we got there was nauseating, as it is right near the huge Harris Ranch. The next morning, though, I guess the wind had shifted because the smell wasn't as bad. The best thing I can say about... more

Travelling from Vegas to San Fran, we stopped here late at night and wish we hadn't. Reception lady was friendly enough and immediately after we checked in, 2 other cars pulled up, also families of 4, I heard them get charge $75, when we only paid $67.

The woman at the desk was the ONLY good thing about this place. The rooms were tiny and smelled of old socks. The area around the hotel was depressing and stunk... more

I should have stayed at Motel 6. Service was good though. When I first got to the motel, it looked like it was something you'd see on the seedy side of town. The color for one, (faded green) with doors that were unpainted, or halfway painted, looking as though the police smashed through a few of them. When I got... more

After a long drive we stopped in the middle of the night in Coalinga. When we stepped outside my four year old procclaimed, "It smells like elephant butt here." Indeed, it did smell bad; the town is outside a cattle ranch. We chose the Travel Lodge being the only non smoking room available under $110 on a Saturday night. We... more
