Brooke, Oct 2023
I called after my stay to find out why I was charged $18. I was called back by Daniel who was extremely rude and combative. He wouldn't even give me his last name when I asked. At check-in we were told to show the keycard upon exit for parking. When we parked in the structure, the sign said free parking for hotel patrons. Our room wasn't ready when we first arrived at 4 pm so we were told to wait ...

A lot went wrong for our one night stay. The door lock didn't work on the original room given to us. Maintenance had to come up and change the battery in the lock. After we got settled in, we noticed a loud rumbling noise. We turned off everything-a/c & TV and it was still there. After 2 calls to the front desk, maintenance showed up again. Turns out it was a stairwell vent fan that was going bad ...

Pros (+) Loved that they had surf racks in the bell closet! The staff was helpful and responsive to complaints. The location is wonderful and I believe all rooms have a view of the ocean (we didn't pay extra for that).
Cons (-) For the price, I expected this hotel to be MUCH nicer. It is very average and the bathrooms are sorely outdated. It was also very annoying that they charge $12/night for parking but their parking lot is tiny and you will probably have to park at the structure next door. If you do park in their lot, make sure you use the validation correctly or it won't let you out! We were trying to leave for a we...
