ADA VIOLATIONS & HARASSMENT Not disability friendly, staff was extremely unpleasant, staff parks in the handicap spots, $30 for additional parking every night per car and rooms/hotel did not look like the ads and or photos.
Employee that was rude

That photo is NOT the Newport Beach location. Staff was pleasant but lazy. Luggage cart was "missing" and employee "just didn't know where it could be" and did not look for it! Parking rate jumping to $30/night from $20/night is extreme. Still, sign reads park at your own risk. Refrigerator froze bottled water, could not adjust that temp.

Room wasn’t super clean, but we only stayed one night so we powered through. Great location to the beach, simple walk across the street! Beds were comfy but room was very basic. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice. Parking lot is easy to find but tiny!

Walking into the room was alarming. The comforter was all balled up and looked awful. Black feet print in the tub. Looked like it wasn’t even attempted to be cleaned. Then hair in the bed. We lasted 15 mins in the room and checked right back out. We were told we couldn’t get a refund for the first night because we had already ‘checked in’

Double charged

Location was fine, service was ok. First and foremost Ive been double charged by the hotel after paying for it via hotels.com . Hotels.com is sorting that out now. CC was given for parking parking and I hadnt noticed they charged we for the room until departure an a email was sent. I also was uncomfortable with the security. I returned to the hotel about 1am to my room entry code not working. After 5min they reset the code and asked me to check my email for the new code. After a little back and forth , because i never got an email, they realized they reset the code for another room and sent info to that customer. Needless to say I didnt sleep comfortably thinking they could reset and give my room info to another person.
