La Copa Inn Beach Hotel

La Copa Inn Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"This was me and my family first time staying at La Copa Inn. The only issue was checking in. My family arrived 15 minutes early and Elizabeth at the front desk never smiled nor greeted us in. She was not friendly gave us a pre check in with wrist bands at that time we had 10 minutes to check in, so we had to drive around until then but at that point we could of just got our room and saved us the 10 minutes of diving around, but other than that the hotel was very clean. I give housekeeping 👍great job. Breakfast was good! Good variety to choose from but the tacos and omelet on point. We needed a couple of things for our room and the staff was very quick to help. Hotel is on the beach which is super convenient. My family and I will definitely go back hoping with a better experience at checking in."
