The room was dirty. The pull sofa bed was old and the carpet was not vacuumed. We found an iPad under the sofa bed which indicated that the room was not thoroughly cleaned. No sheets or blankets in the room for the sofa bed and when the housekeeper brought the blankets there was hair on the blankets. Very nast and unacceptable condition. The hotel needs to renovated.

We booked a room with a hot tub and upon entering the room, I was disappointed by the uncleanliness of our room. Although it was spacious for a family of four, we will not be returning for numerous reasons. The hot tub looked dirty but turned out to be poorly maintained throughout its existence. You would think the tub was dirty at first glance but when you get closer the paint was chipping, the metal buttons were falling off and looked like no one stepped foot in it in years. The pull out sofa bed was extremely hard, good thing we didn’t have to use it! The tile floors in the bathroom looked like someone rushed and slapped on fake tiles just to make it presentable. The door to the bedroom did not close all the way because the doors we unaligned. After inspecting and walking through the room, all I can say is ghetto.

Paid for a King Suite with accessible bath and didn’t get an accessible bathroom. Talked to the desk and was told they didn’t have any that all bathrooms were the same. Had to ask for towels and wash cloths several times. The hot tub and pool were dirty and someone it soap in the hot tub.

The room was great for a 2 night stay, near laguna beach, price was good for free parking and breakfast. The bathroom was clean but small. The sink was on the outside room near the TV which was weird but no problem. The towels were still soft which I appreciate. Parking was no issue the location is near multiple stores. I would recommend
