Mix-up

Front desk said there wasn’t a room for my reservation & we waited for about an hour for them to figure things out & get us a room. Beds were correct but I was given an accessible room with a broken shower chair, bathroom had no ventilation & I was supposed to have a full sized refrigerator. I changed my room the night before but I did get a confirmation & Hotels.com did actually speak with the hotel staff before changing reservation to verify the room I wanted was available, which we were told it was. I paid the extra room charge & hotel waived the change fee. Which was nice.

The ad for the hotel clearly states breakfast and parking is included. I had to pay $15 when I got there for breakfast, Wi-Fi, and a parking. The hotel was OK. But the only reason I chose it was the free parking and free breakfast. I’ll stay somewhere else next time. Hopefully Expedia can update the listing

Had an ocean view kitchenette. Had everything we needed to cook. Great location and view. Very comfortable and quiet. My only complaint is they have quarter laundry and dont offere quarters at front desk. So i actually went to another hotel to do laundry and also the water vendong machines didnt work.

Not right at the ocean about 10 min walk and definitely heavy freeway noise quite close to freeway. The gym was decent the sauna and pool were clean and good. Lazy Acres health food store across the street. The breakfast was ok. Not great.

My family and I stayed here and it was great. The staff was very accommodating. We enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi and also the continental breakfast a great variety to choose from. I did appreciate the cleanliness around the property as well. The parking was also such a plus. If in the area we would definitely come back.

We checked in on 1/22/25. The individual we "dealt" with, I believe it was Jeff, was a rather impolite person. He made us feel as if we were bothering him by checking in. He was a very poor image for the Hotel.
