I booked a room using a site based off google maps. Long story short it gave me the cheapest hotel room for this particular hotel. With that being said I booked late at night after a few drinks and did not realize to specify that I wanted an “ocean view”, I’m new to making reservations like this. Long story short I did not get the ocean view look but after speaking with Keiana the manager at like 10 at night “I work late so could not check in until late”, she upgraded me to another room in no time at all, loved the view it made the drive worth it. Second to Kaiana (I love that name by the way, never met her but she sounds like a dream), is the fact that the hotel had an actual live band with a singer that should be producing albums. Plus you are right next to other nice hotels so the beach goer’s are more comfortable to be around because the majority of them are staying at the exceptional holiday inn and surrounding other nice hitels. See ya there in a couple weeks lol haha

Hip couple from port orchard wa

The phones in any of the rooms do not work , not sure why they are still in the rooms . We tried to call the front desk regarding a non working toilet and had to walk down when we were told they do not work . Also u have to put in 61on thd tv remote to get the TV guide and its not the normal guide which shows u what is playing on each channel it just shows u the channel name with notions or programs , very frustrating . At night when u just want yo sit and watch something you have to search for 1/2 an hour to figure out what to watch and try to figure out if it just started or has been on for a while . Seems very out of date for an expensive hotel . My husband said the WiFi sucks we could barely download an email on his phone . My phone not such a problem but we have different internet providers .

So when I book a hotel stay I expect that what is advertised as the price is the price I pay. When I arrived they charged me a parking fee and a convenience fee. It was my understanding that all fees and parking was included. Also the staff made me feel stupid when I called down to ask how to use the room safe as there were no instructions placard on or near the safe. There were also no chairs on our outside patio that faced the ocean as I noticed were included on the patios for the upper floors.
