Hotel Pacific, Manhattan Beach

Ho prenotato questo hotel perché dicevano che avevano una piscina e che hanno chiuso la piscina circa un anno fa. L'ascensore rimarrebbe bloccato tra i piani. La colazione era molto piccola, spazio sufficiente solo per forse 3 persone per fare colazione. Gli altri ospiti avrebbero dovuto aspettare fuori finché la stanza non fosse stata liberata. E il futuro era molto vecchio, la vernice sul futuro era scheggiata. I materassi sono vecchi e macchiati. Le foto sul loro sito web mostrano camere davvero belle. Eravamo bloccati lì senza macchina. Non ci torneremo MAI MAI più. Ho pagato quasi $ 1500. per 8 notti. Non ne vale affatto la pena. Siamo rimasti così delusi.

Had the worst experience ever I will never stay there again I arrived at 2 pm and he want me to pay for early check in

Most important: we got an excellent nights sleep. Second floor in the back of the hotel (rm 222). It was quiet and we found the bed excellent. Service was helpful, polite. And the Wifi worked reasonably well - no problems with that. Also important is we booked the room for $84 (total) and in LA/Manhattan Beach area that is cheap. Walk in price was $109+tax. So all my suggestions are just "future ideas" and I have no grounds to complain about anything since we slept really well there. And yes, we will be back again no future trips. Things that could be better: o ice maker "out of service" - they had one unit and it was connected, would make whirring noise when pushing in the dispenser, but no ice. We used the in-room 'fridge to freeze some water bottles to keep our picnic things cool the next day. o inner courtyard looks like a small prison yard: the former pool and hottub are covered with what looks like roofing material and the fence around the pool area is locked off. No plants is the main problem. This could be a gem of a garden. My advice is to visit estate sales and garage sales to buy all the *large* potted plants they can find cheap (or free). o renovate the rooms a bit: e.g. rip out the old carpets and put in any (yes, even linoleum) floor that can be mopped - much cleaner, no place for fleas, bedbugs, or dust mites to live in. Wash the walls and paint where repairs have been made - simple things can make the room much more pleasant to be in. o put a window screen on the back window - which essentially faces a wall. But it was good (quiet) ventilation since it wasn't facing the street. o small grey mark on the pillow case and a stray hair on the bed - harmless stuff to us but other people might find more objectiionable. And some stains in the carpet that probably will never come out. Not a big deal.
