We booked a family suite with a kitchenette and a king size bed with 2 singles for us and our 2 adult kids (17&21). We'd been driving for 10 hours and arrived at 3am only to be stuck in a room with 2 doubles. My kids arent small and having them share a bed is ridiculous. Now we are being told that because we booked through Expedia we cant be compensated. So we've paid full price for a room that we didnt get and stuck with the cheapest room with no reimbursement.

We did not know it was under renovations so that is on Expedia, that should have been communicated clearly. The area is good for a quick over night but the parking lot at this hotel is too tight for trucks.

Not happy with our stay.

The Ac units didnt work, renos being done so gym and pool was closed without notice. And had to wait an hour after check in to get our room. Close to west side and hwy1 is the only reason we chose and probably would stay again if those were medigated.

Pool was closed with no notice and the rooms were dingy and old. The pull out couch had no sheets or blankets and was so squeaky and noisy. The king bed was uncomfortable and the bunk beds had no guard rails.

Everything was good except...

The only thing I would complain about is the construction going on...which made the pool and spa unavailable. I think they should have scheduled it during off-season. Yes they did say you could go to one of their other hotels but that is rather inconvenient.

The staff is incredible and are courteous and helpful. Unfortunately they have had delays in construction which leaves the lobby under construction and we received ear plugs for the work that happens during the night. The pool is closed, however, they provided a free pass to a pool at another property. Overall, the incredible staff overshadows much of the distractions

The room was very dated and didn’t feel clean- carpets looked dirty and the wallpaper was peeling in the bathroom revealing a moldy spot. We were disappointed with the reservation as the pool was a must with little kids and a vacation. We were notified days before that the pool was under renovations but by then it was too late to book elsewhere for a family of 5. Nothing was available. The woman at the front desk was kind and offered a food voucher to Denny’s in lieu.
