I was a little nervous to stay here due to the existing reviews. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the lobby. It is beautiful. Little bit of a party scene at Ocean Annies but still kid friendly. Walking distance to Apache Pier. The rooms are individually owned, so you don't know what kind of room you will get. My parents also booked a room, and theirs was the same price, but way nicer. You get a free round of golf at Diamondback, but that is quite the drive from the hotel. There is another golf course across the street. I have played there before. Overall, I had a much better experience than what the reviews stated. I was nervous walking in, and had a very nice time. Parking deck is kind of sketchy, it gets packed quick and if you have a big lifted truck, you may not be able to get on the upper levels.

First of all the staff was friendly and willing to go the extra mile. However, many employees seem to be doing nothing. There were three employees several times just sitting in the rest of you before the street while one would hold the door open. The other were just standing around. The elevator is filthy and stinks. When you walk in the room, it stinks. There are damp and probably mildew under the carpet. The ceramic tile floor is filthy and makes your feet dirty when you walk on it. The chair in the room is also in poor condition. This hotel has a great location and a friendly staff, but is in need of a major upgrade. To me it seems like a lot of people are coming to work and not doing anything.
