over-all nice hotel but I didn't get what I was expecting...
benandsophiesmom (Rohnert Park, California) on Sep 21, 2024
The staff is very friendly and the grounds are well kept. When we first went to the room, I checked the view for which I paid extra for an oceanfront room. The view was of the black roof top, the hut for rentals and if I looked hard, the ocean on either side. Then I checked the room. The bed was not made properly so you could see the mattress which had other-people's hair on it. The top blanket had a big yellow stain on it. The bathroom mirror and magnifying mirror, had water splatter on it so it didn't give me confidence this room was very clean. So, within the first half hour of arriving on vacation, I was already bummed. I let the staff know and while we were at the luau, they changed the sheets but didn't do anything to the bathroom. The luau was in a nice area, had tasty food and good choices but it was a little pricy for what you got. The beach area is a nice, protected cove so it felt safe for swimming. There's a hotel-guests-only partitioned off space in the sand with umbrellas and lounge chairs but the rest of the beach/cove was public. The breakfast buffet was really good and worth it if you can include it in your nightly room fee. The Sunday brunch was also included but the other 2 people we were with paid out of pocket and it is not worth that much for a hotel breakfast buffet.
Great location and friendly hospitality

The hotel location was ideal: walking distance to numerous restaurants and small shops in town, sandy public beach, new pool and hot tub with bar/restaurant, and shaved ice restaurant, ABC store, and cafe on site. This is a family-friendly property, lots of kids playing in the pool and on the beach. The room/bathroom were updated and clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. If you want a great view, get a room in the west wing on the 5-6th floors facing the ocean.
