Categories

Cleanliness
8.8
Several guests called the property 'super clean' and one said they always find it clean; however others reported an unpleasant room/bathroom odor and occasional towel shortages.
Service
6.5
Staff receive mixed mentions: reception was described as very professional and helpful by some, but there are multiple reports of check-in failures, key/room assignment problems and at least one very serious complaint about racist treatment that affected perceived safety.
Location
9.4
Consistently praised: easy access off the freeway, short walk to the beach and local food — multiple guests cited the convenient, pleasant location.
Room Quality
6.5
Guests reported issues including wrong room assignments, unpleasant odors, thin or overly firm pillows, shower splash problems and noise from hallways or entrances — mixed comfort and consistency.
Amenities
9.8
Pool, musical events, BBQs and pet/kid-friendly features were highlighted positively; some shortcomings noted (pool not as advertised heated, occasional shortages of towels), but amenities were a clear selling point for many guests.
Value for Money
6
Several complaints about unexpected or unclear charges (parking fees, prepaid breakfast package limitations, charges not explained) and at least one review calling the stay a 'rip off' — perceived value is notably weak.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Mixed comments: some enjoyed items like seafood tacos and onsite events, but others found the restaurant cold and food only 'so-so'; the prepaid $25 breakfast package was considered restrictive and caused extra charges for some guests.
Overall Experience
9
Many repeat guests praised the property's atmosphere, cleanliness, helpful staff and events and said they'd stay again, but the overall impression is tempered by recurring operational issues (check-in, charges, room problems) and a severe safety/racial incident reported by one guest.

Not happy!
Cons:

My Check in time was not honored, I asked for phone call when my room was ready which never received, we left the wedding early because was afraid we would have to make other arrangements, only to be put in handi cap room which was not mentioned, or i would have found somewhere else to stay. The reservation was made in May which had a note needed early check in for wedding. My conformation was for a deluxe king room and that's what I was charged for, if I was going to be put in something different my charges should have been adjusted, plus no soap in shower container.
