The room was better than expected to be honest it was amazingly. There is not much of dining places anywhere close to this area and mostly pizza places do deliveries only. The staff was not as welcoming or friendly as other properties be being in the past. FD agent on the morning didn’t even greeted us and acted annoyed when asked a question. The agents working PM and overnights were a lot better. The room was very clean and was beyond our expectations but would like the staff to be more welcoming.

Underwhelming to say the least.
We were very excited to come and stay here and booked an upgraded room. This was a room called Lil' Pipeline. The room itself was a decent room, however many of the things in there did not work. The fireplace worked intermittently and somehow turned itself on in middle of the night, even though the timer was off. The flooring could use an upgrade, as well as the bathrooms. Additionally, they will charge you $30/night parking. Our access to the garage did not work and they did agree to refund. All in all it was an underwhelming experience and I would not consider taking an upgraded room here again. Wave Hotel down the block, and the sister property of Bungalow hotel will give you a much nicer stay. We have stayed there in the past as well.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite for a local girls night. The suite itself could use some updating. The floor is the first thing we noticed. It’s very worn and scuffed. The paint is chipping and the trim could use some paint. Our outlets didn’t work well and many of the light bulbs were burned out. We got this room for a very reasonable price off season however if I was staying in the summer I would be disappointed. We made the best of it and enjoyed each others company but our expectations were higher than what we received. The staff was friendly and attentive, there was a resort fee, for what I’m not sure. And parking was $35 dollars for the garage.

Large room, dated but clean. Great location, friendly staff. However, the thermostat did not work, and the room was too warm throughout my stay. Could not access network tv or ESPN when I came back from a day out and wanted to catch a game. And I may start docking a Star anytime I am charged a resort fee (not this time, though)
