SInce somebody screwed up and overbooked the property my wife and I were not able to stay because there were no rooms available. I was there for the weekend for the Avila Beach Tennis tournament and my wife and I were forced to sleep in the car for the first time in 65 years. Due to a lack of sleep and back pain as a result of sleeping in the car I lost in the second round; something that hasn't happened to me in 24 years. To say that I am pissed is an understatement. My weekend was completely ruined. We ended up coming home instead of enjoying a brief vacation. I blame Expedia and will never book through them again. I heard the same issue with Expedia from other people at the front desk of other hotels as we were trying to find a room. I am considering a class action lawsuit against Expedia for its unlawful business practices. I had a confirmed and paid for reservation. The front desk acknowledged that fact as they were telling me we did not have a room. I can only hope that Expedia goes out of business as a result of their reprehensible and abominable business practices and if Hampton Inn and suites was in any way involved I hope the same thing for them. If there is anything I can do to expedite Expedia going out of business I will certainly consider it. Yours Truly, Randolph W. Andell, Andell Law group, Ventura, CA

Property condition & facilities is good. Cleanliness, staff service and service was also okay. However, there was not a room available upon our check-in time. We were told that there would be a room available in 30 min. The 30 min passed and we were informed that it'll take another 45 min wait time. This was very disappointing considering we got to the hotel little after 7 p.m. and to be told there was no room available for us. Our kids were exhausted and tired by the time we got to the hotel. The wait time seemed forever in the lobby. Absolutely unacceptable.

It's a scam to advertise a pool and then refuse to refund immediately when it's become apparent there is no pool. And hasn't been for 3 years. Absolutely unacceptable.

Just OK, better options for the price

Couldn't provide or make me a working room key (which I was told was a result of it being after 12:00am). Had to escorted to room and then couldn't leave. Carpeted rooms are gross. Smelled like sweaty feet. Bathroom appeared clean, but when you sat on toilet you could see mold/grime under the sink and shower handles. When the toilet tank filled it make a lot of noise for like 2-3 minutes. I could hear my neighbors. The room door did not close all the way. When I took a shower at 1:00 am, there was NO hot water, so I had to take a bird bath. Staff was nice. Room was large. I am used to staying at 3 star hotels so this did not meet my expectations.
