The first room smell like cigarette smoke, so they moved me to another room and even though the A/C was at 61 Fahrenheit it was not cooling. The pictures are old, there is no breakfast terrace or Pool chaise lounges covers.
The staff is nice and it’s close to the beach.
The room was okay. Very outdated and the outside needs a facelift. Our room had cockroaches in the bathroom and in the beds. We requested cleaning and they didn't clean and said we left our privacy door hanger out - which we didn't. Got a new room and when we turned the lights on there was a roach on the bed. Other guests were smoking outside rooms which made the rooms smell of smoke. We ended up checking out early and moved to a different hotel. My overall thought is it's a dump.
The room I was in was nasty. The flooring was bubbles under it, the a/c smelled like cigarette smoke. The next room was smoking pot and the fumes came right into our room. I really wish i could get a refund. I have never stayed in a hotel so bad. I do not recommend this place at all!!!
Its more like a motel than a hotel. Room was infested with roaches and bed bugs. We even found a spider in the room during our stay. The tub drain was clogged with hair. The lighting in the room was poor. It was so terrible that we checked out before our last day and made a reservation at the Ocean Beach Club Hotel next door. At check out, the receptionist only said "we know about the roach situation and we are trying to keep it under control".

The cost was ok for last-minute booking, staff was nice, across from beach, bed was comfy.
No breakfast, dirty, limited parking, and noisy with kids running around all night with no adult supervision.

I try really hard not to give bad reviews but we just did not have a good experience. There was a large multi-family party there who I think many may have actually lived there. Every night there was a large group outside drinking and yelling. The yelling got better after the second night. I’m sure there were many complaints. There kids were pushing each other around in rolling chairs down the wall ways at all hours and running all over the property. They were knocking on our door one evening. There were used baby diapers outside in walking areas and one evening the elevator was full of food trash and what looked like yogurt all over the floor. The overall cleanliness of the room was not great. Parking is terrible. They need to make all small vehicles park in the back of the building. We were blocked in one evening and 2 nights we had to just make our own spot which resorted in 7am calls the next morning asking us to move for the trash people to empty the dumpster when we had no where to go. Definitely would not stay there again.
