Our room had extensive black mold in the bathroom, all along the flooring and even alongside the wall. Our key cards wouldn’t work either, so one person had to constantly be in the room to let the other in. The staff was friendly, but the hotel is in need of serious renovations and cleaning. They shouldn’t have let someone stay in a room with so much mold.

When we first got here, it seemed okay. It was easy to get to, which was nice after dealing with the wild construction on the freeway. The outside isn’t impressive, the pavement is worn out & it’s directly next to a little seedy liquor store. No big deal as it’s generally clean. Room is actually quite big, & seems clean, although there’s a stale smoke smell. I’m wishing I took the time to read reviews & not look @ price only. When people said nothing works, they meant it. I’m in room 320 now at 3:41am & have been woken up every hour by the entry light coming on by itself. (My daughter and I are on the pull out bed, so this is directly above me.) And there is beeping every few seconds in the hallway, reviews said is the fire alarms, which is not reassuring. The TVs are not set up properly and kept glitching out until we gave up trying to watch anything. Pool and fitness center are both out of commission; it seems there is no end in sight as the reviews from two months ago said the same thing. Shower has shampoo but no conditioner. There was no bedding for the pull out bed; my hubby had to go down to get some, even though there were multiple extra pillows in the room. From what I read, we will have to skip bkfst as toast & bagels won’t cut it for us. The “good price” is still too much for the loss of sleep, and now I wonder if it’s actually dangerous to stay if the electrical is on the fritz.

Staff excellent but we were not told ahead of time or on the expedia site the hotel is under remodeling and facilities within the hotel were closed. Their phone in the room was only partially hooked up and didn’t work. Breakfast is not a breakfast as expected. Only bread, bagels, apples and drinks. Room was clean and comfortable.

We enjoyed our brief stay here and would go again. For a short stay the lack of pool, and access to various ammenities was not a problem. Not sure what the complaints are all about and why this place has a low rating as we did not have any issues or concerns whatsoever.

Totally disappointed!!! Went to the beach all day with little kids. Check in time was 3pm . We got there and the room was not ready. Was told they were overbooked the day before and today. Asked how long till ready . She said it would be about 15 minutes. We said we understand we will go to dinner and come back. Upon return 2 hours later . They stated they don’t have a room. We canceled and headed home 3 1/2 hours away. Woke up the next morning and was still charged. BEWARE!!! While waiting people were coming out saying there was mold in the rooms and dirty. No Pool !!!!!!
