Bait and Switch at Villa Rosa Inn
I reserved 1 King Bed room, Villa Rosa Inn, nice pictures shown online, shown non-refundable but I received confirmation it was reserved. When in line at reception the guest ahead of me asked to change his double queen room to a King.I was concerned my reserved room was being given away, but was assured it was still available. When alone with reception I was then told there were no more rooms available, a call was made, and he found a couple, both horrible choices, and not at the Villa Rosa Inn,but I was tired after hours of driving searching for vacancies, it was a decision of sleeping in my car versus taking the inferior room that I overpaid for, it was a bait and switch. I didn't think of calling hotels.com as I couldn't at the time find a contact phone number and it showed non-refundable.There are pictures of this room uploaded,it was not at Villa Rosa but a neighboring moteI.Iwas concerned seeing hairs on the sheets when I opened the bedding, sheets covering a dirty mattress cover, an insect on the wall, dirty floors, although I did see the maid mopping, inside of a closet had the back side of fish tank and fish food, that ran all night. A maid opened the door in the morning without knocking accompanied by a man and returned knocking stating I needed to leave as they don't show the room as booked.I learned at check out that I reserved room 15 at the Villa Rosa Inn and they don't know why their night reception didn’t give me the room I reserved.
sheets had hairs in them when I opened them, assumed was from the laundry as sheets smelled laundered but felt itchy, looked under the sheet cover to see if mattress ok and cover was dirty
insect on the wall, not likely a bedbug as on the wall? still felt extremely uncomfortable about being attacked by and/or picking up bedbugs
dirty walls in bathroom
Dirty floors, or stained?, as I did see them being mopped, in bathroom

Our room wasn’t what we booked. We waited an hour to get into our room because it wasn’t ready and the floors were not cleaned and bed sheets felt like soap wasn’t riinsed out properly and heavily bleached so they irritated skin.

Great room, king suite was as described with nice balcony. Older properties, but nicely maintained. Pool and spa were great. Eveniing reception a nice touch. Breakfast had good waffles, bagels with cream cheese. The coffe was very good but had a high turn over rate (sometimes empty). We had to ask for room service. Not uncommon these days. We would definitely stay again.

Pros: beautiful colonial architecture by the beach. It’s fairly quiet and private. Cons: upon arrival they ask to pay $28.50 extra because the fine print online said that’s a “credit card processing fee”; it’s technically illegal under California law. Then they lie they are “figuring it out” with the app even though there’s nothing to figure out: they don’t ask the app to include it so it shows a lower price, then do bait and switch. Understand that it’s illegal and don’t be shy to complain to the authorities. The so-called breakfast consists of stale bread, tea-colored water, muffin crumbles, you get the idea. There’s decent cold water, but only for the guests that come early enough. The staff is obviously used to complaints and takes the attitude that “we are small people and we are not deciding anything.” Not saying to avoid it completely; if there’s no other option, that’ll still do.

They charged another $27.50 per day "property fee" on top of room rate for "amenities". Room wasn't available until 2.5 hours after check-in time. We booked this place (vs other options) due to free parking and breakfast included, but the breakfast was inedible. In fact, they ran out of food & coffee for breakfast, so we went to Starbucks instead. Service was poor, even though the ladies at the front desk tried their best to be helpful. The dryer broke down, so the hotel didn't have fresh towels. This place is run down, dirty and very poorly managed. Worn-out carpets, torn towels, no soap or shampoo in the room upon arrival. It's pretty clear that the owner is just collecting very overpriced rates, not investing in upkeep or quality, and running the place into the ground. Both the customers and staff are being held hostage. The other guests were almost uniformly unhappy and wondering "what's wrong with this place?" A total rip-off!
