The property did not have 'Beach towels and Umbrellas" as your website listed under amenities. When I showed front desk manager your "third party" listing of amenities, he basically said "Yeah...that's wrong. We don't have control over third party listings".

The hotel itself was great but the room above us did a lot of stomping around all hours of the night

Thank you Robyn for the review and I apologize that you had a disturbing night. We have a Quiet Hours Policy and we do call to remind guests about it. In the future, let us know so we can make it right.

We stayed at 6 different Hotels during our vacation. This was by far our favorite Hotel of the week. Wonderful staff, clean comfortable rooms, good breakfast and close to shopping, restaurants and the beach.

The location and facility was nice. However there was a wedding going on and there were barely any parking spaces for the actual hotel guests, let alone consideration for them outside. My husband and son were nearly run over by a wedding guest. However, the employees were very accommodating and kind. Perhaps when events are happening, the hotel needs to provide other accommodations for their guests.

We stayed here for three nights in the middle of the week as our house was undergoing maintenance. It was closer to work which helped with the commute time. Breakfast was ok , there’s plenty of parking and beds are decent. However noticed on the 2nd night that there were ants in the room which was not great to deal with. Management should look into this ASAP

The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was good. Even though it was under renovations, and close to the freeway, it was surprisingly quiet.
