I stayed here during a work trip and unfortunately had plumbing issues in my room. When I called the front desk, no one apologized or offered to move me to another room — they simply asked when maintenance could come by. I explained I had to be at work and they could enter anytime, but no follow-up was provided. I ended up leaving and checking into another hotel. At check-out, I was told I couldn’t get a refund because it was after 11 AM and I “should have reported it earlier,” even though I had notified them when the issue happened. Later that afternoon, I received a text message asking for feedback about my stay. I shared the same concerns I had given the front desk, but never received any response. Overall, I was very disappointed with how this was handled. On top of that, the rooms, amenities, and elevators are all noticeably outdated. I wouldn’t recommend staying here until both the property and customer service are improved.

Place is too loud!! You can hear the freeway all night unless you book through IHG, then you get the rooms by the ocean. The reception told us that since we booked with Expedia, we got the rooms by the highway

Horrible Service

We called a week before to inquire about early check in and were notified it is first come first serve but if a room is available early then we could check in. They new a concert would be this weekend (they were even a sponsor) and they continued to tell people early check in was an option only to be told that no one would be able to check in prior to 4pm. By 3pm there was a line of very angry guests all waiting for a room. We were then told that there was still a possibility that by 4 a room may still not be available. Then, to top it off, there is no way their “queen” size bed was a queen. It looked and felt much more like a full bed for my husband I to sleep in. I would not recommend staying at this hotel even if it is walking distance to the fairgrounds!!

Nice hotel, great valet service, noisy train

The hotel is great. Clean, comfortable, nice lobby and hangout areas. Nice fire pits overlooking the beach. Casey the valet was OUTSTANDING and went above and beyond for me and my mom! He deserves a raise and a huge promotion! He made everyone else shine more. Our room didn't have the best ocean view, but I guess that's what happens with a hotel that doesn't really face the ocean. The thing that was really annoying though was the noise from the train and the cars.

We arrived early and asked about early check-in. The manager told my husband they would call us when our room was available, that never happened!!! I asked about our around 3-3:30 and was told is still wasn't ready..... Then at 4:00 there was a crazy long line of people checking in!!! And then we had to stand in line!!! There is no way that all the rooms become available at 4:00. Why couldn't we have just checked in prior to 4:00. Was not happy, i know early check in is only a request and can't be guaranteed.... But to have to stand in line when we were told by a manager we would be called!!!!!!

The reception, valet, and housekeeping staff are fantastic! They were approachable, friendly, and did little things for my family that showed great customer service and hard to find friendliness in this quick and fast society we live in. You’ll always remember how people made you feel, and the staff really made the difference here. The valets were great! They’d ask how are day was going, made recommendations, and were just really, really friendly. They even shared some fresh pastries with us. The valets here take the hotel to another level… just great people that helped us throughout our entire stay.

Bed was not at all comfortable. Mattress cover didn't fit the bed properly & bunched up. Blanket(s) didn't work. There was just one & several sheets, so we were either too warm or too cold. Air conditioner is located where, when turned on, the cold air blows right on the bed so it's like sleeping in an Arctic wind. Toilet had a slow leak that I reported daily. It was never fixed. WE did not ask for, but were told that Expedia had booked us a handicapped room. Not something we requested, and sad, because the bathtub was quite slippery. Loud music on Friday & Saturday nights was a real annoyance. Cooked breakfast was not good. Food was cold; some of it greasy. Berry parfait with yougurt & granola was vey nice. We would not choose to stay here again. My partner's comment: On a scale of one to ten? A TWO.
