My stay was OK. The only bad side about it is that my sheets look like someone slept in them and they didn’t change it and I’m glad I bring your own sheets.
i did not like that you had to pay 21 dollars for parking in their own hotel parking lot.

-Parking was very tight
Pros
-Nice pool
-Free beach chairs
Loved this place….don’t understand the bad reviews. Location couldn’t have been better. Gentleman at front desk was super friendly and quick. Check in was easy…had my room ready early. Bed was very comfortable. Housekeeping was great about coming and checking to see if I needed anything refilled. I have stayed so many places in O.C. from 3 star to 5 star and this will be a favorite. The only negative was the floor looked like someone had scuffed it up with a tractor, but that didn’t affect anything about my stay…I just didn’t want anyone to think I did it. I don’t even own a tractor. I almost didn’t go on this trip bc of reviews but so glad I did. Would definitely stay again.
The overall stay was good. Wasn’t to thrilled about paying parking. The rooms were clean just a lil small from the building they sent me too. The bed was a lil uncomfortable but other than that, this really wasn’t a bad place, since I waited to book a room last minute.
The room was great and next to the beach. I would give this 5 stars if the fire alarm was not chirping for 2 of our days and nights. We could not sleep for 2 days.

Vent in restrooms in room need cleaning for more venalation, better beds - beach was really quite
Room and bathroom need a makeover. The bathroom looked like it was from 1970. The room stunk like mildew. Wouldn’t eat food in the room because it was so nasty. The refrigerator was disgusting, with brown stains. You really need to invest some money into the rooms at the beach house. I would not stay there again.

Great location and price.
Clean sheets, towels, bathroom, although carpet is old and stained and room is dated. Shower had adequate water pressure. It was cold at night but the a/c / heater unit worked and only smelled funny for about 5 minutes the first time it came on. Access to amenities at the main building was easy and convenient. Front porch with rockers is cute and a nice amenity. Would stay again. No elevators, so folks with small kids or disabilities should note that.
Okay for one night- but very small-
Entry way to bathroom very narrow .
The picture was misleading - thought we had a porch but our unit was on the side - with no porch .
Also , could use a “chair” in the room .
But nice to see the room updated and lobby area.
We have stayed there many years ago
I also thought it was “free parking” when I booked but it was not .
I will give it a try again but in a cabana - not where we stayed
