GoodJan 20207.5
Location is perfect. Nice views from the balcony. Easy access out the back door to the beach across the street. Shopping only 15 minutes away at South Coast Plaza, Westminster Mall and Fashion Island. Easy walk to loads of shops and restaurants along the PCH. Food was really good at the Boardwalk restaurant (breakfast buffet and dinner).
After charging my credit card an amount to cover the entire stay plus incidentals at check in the hotel continued to charge my card, without my authorization, additional small random daily amounts. Night 1 $79.42 , Day 1 $1.39, Day 2 $172.31, Day 3 $67. It was really aggravating to wake up to these charges on my card. I complained and asked what was going on as this is not a hotel policy I’ve ever seen before. Reception could not provide a reasonable answer. They tried to unconvincingly explain that it was a policy from their management to make sure the guests credit cards had enough credit to cover their stay. I asked what the purpose then of having a facility to book charges to the room during a stay if the card on file is going to be charged the amounts to cover them later the same day. I received no sensible response. They did agree to stop the practice for the last day of my stay. Anyhow I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again based on this aggravating policy. The hallways and lobby were uncomfortably cold in the hotel and you had to put on warm clothing to navigate around. The hallway to our room smelled of musky carpets. Only parking option at the hotel was valet at $39 a day and I didn’t like the pressure to keep tipping the valets every time they retrieved my car or some item from the car. Tipping should be for services I have selected not ones I have been forced to utilize.

The hotel was beautiful. Great location, walking distance to tons of things
I was very unhappy when I received my receipt from our stay to find a additional $30 change per day for a resort fee & also a $39 valet charge per night for each car. None of the these extra fees were mentioned at check in. Everything should be included in the per night price so it’s not a shock upon check out
