When I stayed at the Hotel California it was 100 degrees in California. Strange for October, but California is known to get hot on occasion. So, that would...

The hotel was not at all what we expected. The staff, except one gentleman, was rude. Our room smelt like mold and sulfer and the carpeted floor was wet. Also, we were in lower unit so we could hear everything above us. Parking is bad-15 a night if there is a space. Otherwise they recommend parking next door for * night. Not so helpful! The location is great, however. You are right there next to the pier and shopping.

I have never seen such a deceitful hotel like this one. The lady told a lie about an internet equipment in spite of double confimation when I made a reservation. The man at the front desk was very nasty and rude. I complained about internet immediately after my arrival, but he arrogantly said "" If you wanna cancel, pay full amount according to the cancellation policy."" I couldn't believe this hotel.

Back in the 60's i would have liked the sunken mattress,noisy fan and bent-up blinds and sub-par amenities. But now that I'm grown-up and prefer better accomadations i think i'll stay down road the next trip.Oh yeah did they tell you parking in thier lot is 15 bucks a day extra.

There is virtually NO Parking, its difficult and too close together. There is NO Air Conditioning, our room got to 120 degrees in the afternoon, unbearable. There was sand all over the floor, couch, bed. It was there when we got there, so not sure about the cleaning. The lady at the front desk was rude and not helpful. She was nasty to my daughter, who was there early in the morning for coffee and milk. But turned around and helped a man who entered after my daughter. This hotel was too expensive for what we got in return. NEVER stay here!!!
