"The metal handle on the bathroom door just fell off on the floor. There was only one nightstand on a king sized bed. The exit door to the parking lot was open but in the morning it locked me outside and I had to walk through the entire parklot and the lobby just to get back in my room. "

"Staff was great but hotels.com was terrible and never honored their travel insurance "

"Microwave availability would be nice. The manager was so helpful and they were very pet friendly. We loved staying at the hotel. "

"Yes , pool was clean and well maintained. "

"First, not a cheap hotel so maybe our expectations were high. So we chose March 17 in hopes of avoiding summer crowds. We go to the pool on this hot day and shortly after, no less than 5 kids (5 or 6 yr olds give or take) are unleashed into the pool. No school? The screaming, splashing and the noise. Then one gets a bloody nose and dad just hands him a napkin (while in the pool no less) while jr just keeps washing his nose in the pool water. I think the napkin eventually dissolved in the pool. Then the other rug rats proclaim they just peed in the pool. When did parents become so utterly clueless? Fine, skip the pool. I’ll go get a margarita instead. $26 + a surge charge and a small tip, $28 later. Good rita, but not that good. The kids weren’t necessarily the hotel’s fault, but the overpriced marg was, considering the abundance of bars and restaurants immediately around the property, their price gauging seemed over the top. Thanx, but never again. But hey, hope you enjoy your stay though. But leave your d**n kids at home and don’t buy drinks there. Go across the street."

"Enjoyed my stay .. staff was very friendly and helpful. "

"Great Service! "

"We stayed one night and chose this property for its advertised “on the beach” location. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations for the price. The room was decent but outdated, with no air conditioning. To get airflow, you must open doors/windows, but there are no screens, so bugs come in. Privacy is also limited, as people from the nearby park can see directly inside. A major issue was the train, which runs every 10–20 minutes and is very loud. Since the tracks sit between the property and the ocean—and windows must stay open—you hear it constantly. The property is not truly “on the beach.” A railroad track and cliff separate it from the ocean, and beach access requires walking through a nearby park. While not far, this feels misleading. Additional drawbacks included no breakfast or on-site dining, limited laundry (2 machines), cleanliness issues (cobwebs), and construction noise disclosed only after booking a non-refundable stay. Checkout expectations (taking out trash, loading dishwasher, etc.), along with a tip envelope and reminder text, felt excessive. While the kitchen was nice and the beach is nearby, the stay did not justify the cost and felt misleading overall."
