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

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Terrible property. Stay away! All rooms circle the pool, and have no sound proofing. Wow it’s loud! The guy on the desk wouldn’t let me check out. He spoke to me and an Expedia representative in a way I wouldn’t even speak to an animal. How he is employed I have no idea! Manager did try to apologies and did allow me to check out the next day but this should never be allowed to happen in the first place. Family members recommended this place after staying in it once before, but after they heard the way he spoke to me they said they would also never return. There is a much better hotel at same price just down the road. Homewood Suites. Would highly recommend there, especially as it’s the same price!

Would have been a 4 but at 7:30 we had a house cleaner knock then walk in within seconds, then another 2 times before we checked out, could have been undressed. Check out is 11 unless told that we checked out there should have been no reason to enter our room, could have been in shower or eating. And floor wasnt 100% clean found food from previous guests on floor
