really bad front desk and manager
Pros:

Property was ok, when we arrive at midnight the male staff was nice and helpful.

Cons:

I didn't like the lack of flexibility of the property by morning staff telling me there is no late checkout option to use to pool after check out.
Manager Susan was incredible argumentative and telling us 'you had all this time to use the pool' which we never able to since we checkout at midnight and didn't have time in the morning. She implied I was lying saying I never heard such a thing using a pool after check out at any place after I told her I used in different hotels. She should have said sorry that's our rules instead of telling me that's not true and she should have never told me you had all this time. Front desk was pretty unhelpful and wasn't caring about how my stay went, They were just chatting and barely giving me any attention when I tried to share my concerns that's why I had to increase my voice and manager Susan was cutting me off telling me to lower my voice simply because I expressed my disappointment. I felt completely dismissed as a guest.

Terrible Hotel Etiquette — Paid Reservation Given Away Without Notice
Cons:

We booked a room at Ayres Hotel as a precaution due to flood warnings on the Balboa Peninsula, where we were staying with family. We paid over $200 per night in full but ultimately stayed at the house Friday night. As the storm intensified Saturday, we decided to check into the hotel.

Upon arrival, we were told that because we hadn’t checked in Friday or called, our reservation had been forfeited and our room with two beds was no longer available. Despite having paid in full and receiving no notification that we needed to confirm our arrival, we were told our only option was to pay extra for a premium suite.

We reluctantly paid the additional charge because of the worsening weather. Extremely disappointing customer service, particularly when we had booked the hotel specifically for safety during a storm. A fully paid reservation should not be given away without notice.

I do not stay there anymore.
Cons:

The AC was not working properly.
And they charge me extra because I left the room at 11:30
Instead of 11 am

Alles ganz gut
Pros:

Sehr gemütlich, sauber und ordentlich

Cons:

Man muss für den Parkplatz extra zahlen, was sehr schade ist, da man auch keine Ausweichmöglichkeit hat.
