"Front desk lady was sweet. Check in was easy. My room was very clean. I see there was some remodeling done. Nice touch. But the pool and hot tub was down. Totally sucked because I booked for the perks of having a pool and hot tub on sight. And El Niños is kicking Californias butt! 97 degrees yesterday!!!"
