"My room was great. Super cute and clean. No complaints there. The problem I do have is I was not provided with check-in instructions. It smelled of dog piss quite intensely upon walking up to the property. The real kicker for me was how dirty the shared bathroom was. Toilet was gross, dried urine on the floor, the tub fills with water when showering. Sink covered in little hairs, toilet seat was always left wide open, garbage not emptied once."

Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean Room"

Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove

8/10 Good

"Make sure to check in for each reservation. I made a reservation, then noticed I needed another day. I was not told I would need to check in again for the new reservation. I was called while I was in church. The person told me, "You have not checked out. Check out time is 11:00am, and the maids needed to clean the room. That was when I found out I needed to check out then check in." It could have been taken care of when I checked in for the first reservation. I was not happy about that. But now I know what needs to be done if this happens again. All and all my stay was great. The breakfast was at the top. Thank you again for the information and the help."

"On a Sunday night when all decent hotels were around $400 per night, I found this motel with only $150, hoping for a decent bed. Surprisingly the room was large, bed and pillows very good. Very clean, Bathroom had a tub, nice towels and all you need for shower. Good coffee in the room. The staff was very helpful and friendly."
