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.

Location, location, location

Proximity to beach, excellent, just walk across the street. A/C works great. Comfortable beds, but I am not too picky. Room size is very small and tight, this is a 1960s motel. The sink is separate from toilet and shower. Walls, trim on doors have seen better days, some places have been poorly patched. Trim on shower must have been done by a non professional. Breakfast in name only: folgers coffee and dry mini muffins, that is it. Desk staff friendlyness non existent, but they did their job. Cleaning staff seemed happy. Pool is tiny, can fit ten people max, and it would feel packed, but you have an ocean accross the street.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
DO NOT STAY HERE UNDER ANY CIRCIMSTANCE! The young woman at the desk when we check in was amazingly rude and unfriendly. When we were done checking in, she said…”we are done here”. But I had more questions. The pool was locked and closed most of the 6 days we were there. We had to ask for it to be opened and then we were given BS excuses for not opening it, like, “if it’s cloudy we won’t open the pool”…it was 93 degrees IN THE DAMN SHADE!, or “it’s up to the maintenance guy” , the refrigerator in our room didn’t work but they did replace that while we were there, the showerhead sprayed in every direction except on your body, the room was advertised as 2 QUEEN beds but they were only full size mattresses, the door was always difficult to open, it was stuck most of the time, the parking was was full and some guests could not park at the property.

Staff is very rude. We were told we'd be able to check in early and we were not. I asked for an iron at 5:00 today and finally at 9:00 they said oh we don't have an iron. The rooms are subpar at best I will never stay here again or recommend this to anyone. Furthermore the rate was cheaper when I got here than what Expedia gave it to me for so I had to pay the higher Expedia price instead of paying $120.
