Front desk service was excellent during our entire stay. The staff at 7 Mile was also wonderful up until our last morning. Our server that morning was like a ghost. Unattended and took too long to come back with items requested. By the time we asked for the check, I was steaming how long things were taking. But other than that, our stay was great kids loved the pool. The room was great size and cleanliness.

We picked this hotel since it was the closest to the address we had to do business with in CA.Very dirty rooms. They also had construction which was annoying. There was 2 glasses behind my door for 3 days and no body even cared to clean it up. Smell of weed and people talking load in middle of the night. No supervision at all. Not a good place for families.

Checking in was a nightmare. Our room keys didn’t work twice and we had to be moved to a different room. I did pre-check in at 11 but at 4 our room still wasn’t ready. Very poor customer service offering no one to help us and instead requiring me to lug all my luggage back to the front desk TWICE until they found us a new room with working door. Our room was clean which is a plus. The restaurant and poolside service was incredibly slow (waited close to an hour for our food and we dined 3 separate times). Staff was kind but service is definitely lacking. For the price I would stay elsewhere in the future.
