Disappointed that the pool hours were listed 10am - 10pm and when I asked for them to open the front desk lady said it opens at 2pm. However, a cleaning guy saw my kids and I and asked if we were going to the pool. I told him what the front desk said and he said it opened at 11am and although it was 10:45am he open for us. Also disappointing was the continental breakfast that consisted of chocolate chip small muffins and coffee.

Was upset a little bit that it was 9:02, and she wouldn't let me have any coffee. I run a breakfast café in a hotel in California called the Irwin hotel. I leave fresh large craft of coffee out all day for my guest even after we close @ noon Just a suggestion😉

I'm not sure if I'm the only person who had a bad experience at that hotel with such a wonderful and pleasant view. It was wonderful, but the unpleasant thing was removing the bed cover and realizing that the sheets had yellow stains and blood stains. That was super unpleasant. Although I asked for clean sheets the next day and they gave them to me, that doesn't take away the unpleasantness of realizing that I had slept in a bed where the sheets hadn't been changed, and cockroaches were crawling on the floor and on the wall.

I arrived at the hotel at 2:20pm on Wednesday Sept 10, 2025. The front desk lady told me I could not check until 4 PM. I asked why? she said because they have not inspect the clean. I walked around the hotel and looked through the windows, and there was a lot of rooms cleaned. It should take about five minutes or less to inspect a room. I need a refund for this terrible experience.
