Room smelled musty. No garbage can. Room was never cleaned or restocked with towels/soap, ran out of toilet paper. Front desk staff was rarely there, sign left that they were at an adjacent property. Really terrible.

Great ocean view, terrible hotel
The ocean view was the only hood thing about this hotel. It's old, shabby and falling apart. There was no blankets on the bed, only two sheets. The batgroom faucet leaked continuously. I had to checkin at the hotel next door. No one on the front desk, no security. Anyone could have walked in at any time. Doors left open all the time. We got stuck in the elevator twice. Left early, asked for our money back on days not used. Never will stay again.

Well Maintained
This property is older but in good repair. Well maintained. Parking was plentiful with elevator in convenient place. Be advised, you may have to check-in next door. They appear to be running two hotels with one desk! A big Thank You! to the lady in maintenance for getting us a working TV!

The lobby doors were broken, our keys didn’t work. They sent us back to our room with no key and had to let us in. Went back down in the morning to get keys and finally got a pair that worked. The stove was broken and nasty
