“Worst hotel out of over 1,000”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We reserved a room for four people and were provided a small room with a single double bed and no room for children. Manager refused to refund our fees and Expedia also refused to move us or refund. In the end, we decided we were better off camping on the side of the pacific coast highway than staying at this hotel. Deceptive advertising and photos, inaccurate room descriptions, inconsiderate staff, and poor rooms. Believe the other reviews and stay away.

“Pretty Disappointed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011
4
people found this review helpful

After I had already booked my family stay here, I checked out more reviews... Most of the negative results were pretty accurate. Carpets needed cleaning by the blackness on our socks. Sheets didn't fit the mattress so they kept slipping off the corners during the night, allowing my skin to touch it... With the reviews of bed bugs.... I was not liking that. Light bulb out in bathroom. Decent water pressure though. Patches where holes had been covered on the walls. Blackout curtains didn't fit the entire window so out side light came through on the side
.
Breakfast was pretty sad. Small front office was where things were served and there was no room for more than 4-5 people at one time. Guests had to keep ringing bell for someone to refill milk, waffle batter, OJ, butter, toast, etc. Lots of bell ringing. Making your own waffles may be neat at home, but not when there's people waiting behind you. Little messy too. We didn't bother the second morning for that experience.
Pool looked a little scary so didn't want to chance it with the kids.
No view of the bay whatsoever. Not even of Morro Rock, unless you had second floor and maybe you could see the top of it.
But the worst thing for me... No air conditioning!! What CA hotel doesn't have AC? And it was pretty warm this past weekend... Warmer in the room, but you would have to leave your windows and curtains open to get cool air in... I'm not that trusting to leave windows wide open on lower floor hotels.
Had a fridge, micro, blow dryer, tv. Would not recommend.

“This place is a nightmare!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011
5
people found this review helpful

This was the most horrible place we have encountered on our trip. We booked online, at a rate of $129 per night, but it seemed acceptible for the amenities offered and judging by pictures posted by the owner. Once we got into the room, we were a bit put off by the bare bones, broken down room with no coffee pot for the in room coffee as advertised. There were no towels, and when we went to get these items from the office, the staff reluctantly gave us two towels. They said they don't have coffee pots... Which is odd seeing how they had coffee and filters in the room, just nothing to brew it in. Next, the "heated" pool was freezing! It was filthy, and there were no lights even though it was open until 9pm. Next, on our second day there, we told them we were unhappy Next, the building is so rickety, the people above our room were able to keep us up until 4:30 am and my nine year old unfortunatley heard things he should not have. We stayed for two nights and they didnt even refresh our towels or straighten up the room, and when we asked them to, the lady acted like she didn't know what to do. We had to tell the trash was full, and ended up making up the bed ourselves and washing the towels ourselves in the guest laundrey, which by the way was not free! Next, we asked for a different room because of the people above us. The lady at the office said there were no other rooms available. Later that evening we were at the pool which is right by the office, and saw her shout out the window to what looked like her friend, that she still had vacancies, and proceeded to book out several more rooms. We were lied to. Lastly, upon checkout, we saw that the receipt was for $171 plus tax for each night! We mentioned it immediatly, and the lady at the desk suddenly started acting like she didn't understand english! This motel was a real scum bucket. Overpriced. Rude. Filthy. We deserve an apology and our $ back! Don't stay here, it's truly like a nightmare!

“BED BUGS, NO HOT WATER, HEADBOARDS FALLING OFF”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2011

people found this review helpful

We rented 4 rooms.....this is what happened.

When we complained to the front desk, he could not get a hold of the manager because he would not answer his phone. We were told the whole hotel was out of hot water and that it had been fixed. 2 hours later we STILL had no hot water. But that's not even the worst of it.......

Room 1: BED BUGS!!! Ewwwww!! Headboard fell off wall, water in sink would not shut off, lights in bathroom did not work.

Room 2: headboard fell off and ripped out of wall, stains and holes in sheets and blankets, beds uncomfortable, no cold water night one, next morning.....no hot water. Breakfast was aweful.
