pictures of property are misleading. It’s not as up-to-date as it seems some items are but even still they’re not really kept up. The property is still very much rundown and feels unsafe overall.

A quiet area, room was not

We could hear people walking around above us and doors slamming in the hall. The room was comfortable and the surrounding area was peaceful. Also, pictures of the hotel show a winery. When I inquired about the winery, staff looked at me like I was crazy. He had no idea about a winery and said there was no winery. I showed him the pictures of the winery on this app and he didn’t know anything about it. The winery is one of the reasons we chose this hotel. All in all, it wasn’t bad, but if I go back, it will be on an upper floor.

Total Letdown – Nothing Like the Photos I just had a really disappointing stay at this property and honestly felt catfished! The photos online had me excited, but when I arrived, it was a completely different story. The place was dirty, and the mold on the walls was a huge red flag. Plus, it’s right next to a busy highway, so good luck trying to relax with all that noise! The sheets had stains, which was pretty gross. I’ve already contacted Expedia and sent them my photos because this place is not what I signed up for. Just a heads up for anyone thinking about booking – you might want to look elsewhere!

Room smelled of smoke but is a non-smoking property, ceiling had big chips of paint missing, bedding had wads of hair..went to use hot tub and it was filthy, lots of debris and looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Pool seemed cleaner, but water was ice cold!

Stayed here for the price and location Right off the freeway, near shopping stores target, Costco, tj maxx home goods, old navy, food choices etc. 15mins from Pismo Beach. Room had few minor issues, telephone not working so I had to walk to the front desk each time I needed something, crack in mirror, dust in corners, smoke detector not attached. Overall 3/5.

This propert was really in bad shape, it felt dirty and the ac filters in both rooms were so dirty they probably haven't cleaned them in a very long time. People were noisy at the pool right outside our door around 2 and 3 am.. we decided to just leave and and find a new place to stay, instead of staying there another night.

The motel on the outside had been updated, but the room was not up to what I deem to be acceptable standard. The bathroom sink in the handicap accessible room was from the 1940's, about 12"x12" with no counter top at all. The outlet had burn marks and was so loose that the plug almost fell out in use. The dhower tile was very old and needs to be updated. The bed desk had an unworkable light fixture. On the bright side, the room service staff was very polite, and the desk manager immediately gave attention to our complaint of unbearable noise from the above room at all hours of the night.
