The room smelled musty, the paint on the walls was sagging from water damage. Black mold in the shower. The headboard was moldy. The property as a whole was not maintained.

Nightmare stay.
Terrible! Had to enter room from outdoors with no shelter from rain. It was an open, easy way for anyone from the street to approach your door. No security cameras even though was told there were "a lot of cameras". Yet when asked to show me one, they would not! I felt very uncomfortable and not safe. No dresser drawers. Only two small night stand drawers. No bathroom space for toiletries. Had to hang wash cloth and towels from door knob. Light switch stopped working. Had to stand on glass top coffee table to pull light chain to work lights. Room was always dark and cold feeling. Felt and looked like a very old place in need of renovation. Continental breakfast was a joke! Only sweet cakes and very limited adult cereal. Yogurt was a good thing. Bathroom light was an auto motion censor that you could not turn off! Too bright for getting up in the middle of night. Finally taped over it. Seemed to be very few guest. I only saw three over 5 days. Canceled the rest of my stay (9 days) and went up to Huntington Beach. I will never stay there again!

Won’t be back ever again
This is the second time I stayed there. First time was excellent. This time not so much. I had both nights nearly free with my Hotels.com points and they tried to upsell me into a better room for $100 per night which I declined. So they stuck me in a room that looked like a storage room in the roof that only had one window that faced a wall. It had a funny odor like mildew. But I guess that’s what you get for free. When I arrived the first night, they offered to let me park my own car in the gated in private parking but the directions they gave me to get there were very off. I ended up driving down an alley that wasn’t even a road. The valet was as supported to guide me but after I tipped him $5 he wasn’t found. I won’t come back again to stay here because of the poor treatment I received.
