The front desk staff were terrific. The attendant in the breakfast room was friendly and helpful. I did not feel like an "anonymous guest" at all!
Pillows were a little too firm, but quite useable

Das einzige, was man hier positiv bewerten kann, ist die Lage des Hotels an sich: sehr nah am Hafen, innerhalb von vier Minuten ist man mit dem Auto dort. Und das Personal war freundlich. Alles andere war für uns zum Abgewöhnen: Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Whirlpool reserviert. Im ersten Zimmer hatten wir den Whirlpool gefüllt, als wir das Wasser abließen, blubberte das Wasser aus der Toilette nebenan raus, gleichzeitig lief das Wasser in der Dusche nicht ab und man stand knöcheltief drin, so dass es eine Überschwemmung gab. Wir bekamen zwar daraufhin ein anderes Zimmer wieder mit Whirlpool, aber das konnten wir nicht betreten, weil der gesamte Teppich unter Wasser stand. Also bekamen wir ein drittes Zimmer zugeteilt, ebenfalls mit Whirlpool. Wir haben uns nicht mehr getraut zu duschen und weil es inzwischen Mitternacht geworden war, verbrachten wir die Nacht dort, verkürzten aber den Aufenthalt dann auf diese eine Nacht.
Das Hotel ist stark in die Jahre gekommen und sollte entweder komplett abgerissen oder von Grund auf komplett saniert werden. Was da mit den Abwasserrohren nicht stimmt, möchte ich mir nicht vorstellen. Auf dem Flur roch es nach Marihuana und alles hatte einen etwas anrüchigen Beigeschmack. Beim Frühstück gab es dann als i-Tüpfelchen noch saure Milch in Tetrapacks. Wir kommen mit Sicherheit nicht mehr!
Eigentlich fast alles. Nur das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und hat sofort bei der Problemschilderung eingelenkt und die restliche Nacht sofort storniert. Um die Erstattung müssen wir uns allerdings selbst kümmern über booking wurde uns gesagt.

Great location, we were able to walk to lots of restaurants and the harbor.
Carpet in the room was not very clean and the bathroom with the jacuzzi tub was in the way. We did not ask for it and it made the bathroom way too small.

I liked how close it is to the beach, and it’s very quiet, breakfast was good
Plumbing is not great, tvs are a bit outdated, and bathroom vent was dirty

1.0 / 5.0
Location was convenient to where we had to go. Breakfast was mediocre but at least there a was good effort made.
The first room we had smelled of animal and mold. We had to stay in there and the next day was moved to another room. The doors didn’t close unless forced and when opening was sticky so was very loud. Bed sheets were scratchy. Elevator was old and hallway carpeting was smelly. Was afraid of getting mugged when doing laundry since it was outside of the building on the ground floor in a very dim area. Lastly I wanted to ask and sign up for bonus credit upon checking out. The front desk person checked me out just before I asked so they could not give me credit for my 4 nights stay. There was not even and attempt to help me get credit for this stay. 😢

EVERYTHING!! This is a wonderful hotel, and I had a wonderful stay. The staff was amazing; friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I was able to check in early and check out late, which was very much appreciated!! The parking was no problem even though it is $10 a night. The breakfast was awesome! There is a breakfast room with everything you could want. The suite was very clean, as was the whole hotel. The bed was comfy, and I love the fact there were 6 pillows! And even better was there are different types, and you have a choice of what type you prefer. I will definitely stay here again! In fact, I have already booked another suite for my visit in October. I'm so very happy I found this hotel. 😊
Nothing, everything was great!!

Location was amazing, near good food and the beach was a short walk away. The breakfast had a simple, but good variety of food. The room was nice and comfy!
Facilities were a little dated-- but that didn't take away from the stay.

Extremely friendly staff at front desk and during breakfast. Location is great.
If you’re sensitive to noise, the rooms on the PCH side have car traffic all night long. The fire alarm also woke us up at 1:30am (false alarm, possibly tripped due to the rain - front desk said it happened a couple nights ago) - not fun with 2 little kids
