Nice Staff, Great Location, Needs Serious Updating

I spent three nights at this hotel with my wife and 3 year old son. We tried to make the best of it because of the great service and the convenient location, but ultimately we were disappointed with the condition of our room. It was a poolside king efficiency on the first floor. The bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned and the stove was dirty. Some of the tiles around the front door were missing or cracked. The sliding glass door facing the pool did not lock well and the rod that was available to secure it was incredibly difficult to adjust. We booked our room because the hotel had great ratings, but our room in particular left a lot to be desired. It got to the point where my wife was actually uncomfortable unpacking. Needless to say, we won't be back.

Would DEFINITELY Return

Pros: The bay view is absolutely unmatched in beauty! It's so nice to have sunset view right from your room. The beds were surprisingly comfy and the comforters were soft and fluffy. The kitchenette was incredibly convenient. The shower was hot and the water pressure excellent. My pup loved it too! The $150-175 pet fee was a bit steep but worth it. Parking was $19/day Cons: The TVs were outdated so we couldn't hook up our gaming system or laptop, which was my only issue with it. Sometimes after a day in the sun I like to stream Netflix or emulate some retro video games. I think this is the only con!

I didn’t appreciate being charged $16 to park my car in the parking lot. This is a basic motel and the nights stay was $260 for a motel room. The parking fee was petty. Charge people to park there that do not have rooms. I am paying to stay there and to hit me with a charge to park was exploitative.
