Our bed was very comfortable, but the rest of the furnishings were very dated. The room and bathroom could really use an update to a higher standard. I was very surprised it wasn't nicer for $400+ a night.

Very Nice Overnight Stay

We stayed in the courtyard/pool view room. The rooms were clean and nice. TV channel options are average and lacking, but had one or two HBO channels so that's cool. You have to pay for parking which I find really dumb since you're already paying to stay there and its not like there's an airport around. Who is taking a shuttle or Uber/taxi to this in the middle of nowhere hotel? It also wasn't apparent online you had to pay additional for parking. The jacuzzi is small. It only fits 6 people comfortably and during a more cool winter/spring weekend its not quite enough for the amount of people/kids. Very kid friendly. I heard the fire pits were nice and the ocean view, there are s'more kits available for purchase. There is access to the beach, but we didn't venture that way due to rain and weather. Next door is De Paolo and Sons Deli/Italian market and that place is the bomb! Other than that its in the middle of nowhere in terms of restaurants and shopping. but you are trading price for that type of location. Super easy freeway entrance/exit. Gas station next door. Very quiet neighborhood. I will choose another hotel because of parking mostly plus a small jacuzzi.

Everyone was nice, the pool and hot tub were beautiful. The room could’ve used a little bit more, dusting the shampoo and conditioner had dust and left over soap scum. The curtains were stained and had a horrible smell. Some of the furniture was broken. Some blood stains on the comforter and towels
