Joaquin Miller Park

Pros: Close to the beach (we didn't go). Beds were ok. It felt pretty safe. Had a pool with reasonable hours. Shower had good water pressure. They had complementary soap. They had a small breakfast nook in the morning. They thanked us for our stay when we left. Next to a bowling alley (if you have kids/want to do something fun that's close). Had a stove and a fridge in room, but we didn't use stove. Cons: Weren't ready for us to check in at our designated time, which made us late. They were pretty rude about this. Luke warm shower water that then turned cold. TV turned on but screen/picture was badly disfigured so it was hard to watch. There was no coffee when we got to breakfast (we got there at 8am, it ended at 930) and they seemed upset when another guy asked to refill it. Everything was pretty run down, fridge popped open so we lost what we had brought with us to eat. Smelled odd. Not the worst place if you just wanted a bed that was comfortable to sleep in a building that felt safe. We'd try a different hotel if we returned to this location, especially for the price.

The hotel overbooked, and after we checked in and came back out, our keys didn’t work. A guest found out that our room had been given to them, but after going into our room, they realized it was occupied. I booked two rooms and they didn't give us an adjoining room. The hotel and rooms were clean but some of the bodies wash and hand some were empty. the food was good but they ran out of potatoes because they didn't order enough.

The pool and hot tub looked to need some maintenance and cleaning but other than that our stay was good.
