Although we are already loyal Hampton Inn inhibitors, this particular outlet surpassed all our expectations The parking was convenient, the breakfast was fresh and diverse, the rooms and amenities were top-notch, rivaling even some of the elite perks of an Embassy Suites or a Hyatt Regency Most appreciated was the welcome extended by the desk clerk

I’m sorry I missed his name, but he went above and beyond to make us truly feel like a guest—a lost art in the hotel business Thank you for value and excellence I will stay there any chance I get to visit San Clemente in the future

To start, the price was perfect for our little getaway, our room faced the Ocean The staff was so kind, we were able to check in early, we got a 2 queen bedroom The living room was perfect for our 7 year old daughter to have her own space and watch her shows and play away from the bedroom area

We were provided with a play pin for our 6 month old (she played in that and slept in the bed due to the pin not having a mattress, but still perfect!) Waffles and coffee in the morning after a workout hit the spot! We didn’t do much around the area, it was just a relaxing vacation We are definitely coming back See you guys soon!

I warned you This place is rough It’s a small, old, disjointed hotel that is NOT worth it

Spent 2 nights here and our stay and sleep were awfulEverything is broke Our AC broke at 2am Our locks on our doors never worked The elevator broke The walls in our room were disgusting, see pictures The shower head was broken The beds were both broken and make noise The couch was broken Oh but 2 brand new TVs so that’s niceThe whole place has a funky smell, the breakfast was gross and kept running out of food The parking is a jokeThey said they “might” renovate in 2 years…so don’t say I didn’t warn youDo yourself a favor and stay by the pier Same price, less homeless people around and you’ll have a better stay Shame on you Hilton, this place is a joke

Great location, great viewsI enjoyed this hotel I see some reviews of negative experiences with temperature in the room, hot water, etc

We did not have any of those issues We were able to set our room temperature, we had plenty of hot water, and if we asked the front desk for more water, they gave it to us We also got a massage at the spa and enjoyed their facilitiesWalking distance to the harbor, the beach, and many restaurant options Or you can get a beach bike from the hotel Several grassy park areas, nice clean beach I really enjoyed our stay

J. ERTAN

It is one of the rare hotels in Southern California where you can stay for a family vacation It is a beautiful hotel with its proximity to the family action, calmness and comfort inside It is a good alternative for guests coming from out of state, especially with its walking distance to the marina and 20-30 minutes close to many surf beaches spots

When you stay between the cities of San Diego and Los Angeles, it is nice that you can go to both cities at similar times My advice is to have breakfast by enjoying the beautiful weather in the green area in front of you in the morning, there is the legendary open buffet breakfast Especially the scrambled eggs and fresh coffee

JS

Overall, a great hotel in the Dana Point area Very easy to walk to everything you may need Our kids love the pool(s) and the amenities really cater to everyone

We ordered food and drinks by the pool a few days in a row and the prices were extremly reasonable for what you get and the servers were great Even though I have kids myself, I really appreciate that they enforce quiet hours before 9am at the pool because sometimes people are just not considerate for other guests who want to relax or sleep in and allow their kids to scream at the pool super earlyThe staff gives notification of any events/weddings that may be happening during your stay which is also a plusEverything is clean and well maintained The only complaint I could possibly come up with is the required valet kinda sucks We forgot something in the car and the hassle of going down and waiting in line (after paying $46 per day) just to get something out of car is super inconvenient You also feel super rushed when you are loading/unloading luggage when departing/arriving because valet wants to push you in and out

We booked a weekend over Christmas weekend with the hope of spending a lot of time inside and order in-room dining to stay safe covid wisePros: Very dog friendly hotel with tons of green spaces for doggies to roam around and do their business We loved our room with its private fireplace

The room was clean and very comfortable Tons of movie choices and just an overall great TV app selection Great staff and serviceCons: The thing that disappointed us the most was the in-room dining food quality The taste was just awful Over the weekend we almost tried everything on the menu and literally everything was just barely eatable including the burger and chicken noodle soup! How do you mess up a burger or a chicken soup? The only item that was OK was the mac and cheese I really hope management reads this review and tries some of the food for themselves Given the in-room menu price points, your clients really deserve better than this

Ani Boyadjian

It was fun two nights, the kids had fun in the pool and we made new friends with other nice families with children The servers and the housekeeping staff were very polite and had great customer service skills For the price we paid, unfortunately it did not measure up! I booked the hotel for 4 adults they gave us a tiny room with one king bed once they saw we were two adults and two small children at check in

I had to go back and question that so they gave us a new room with two queen beds Just didn’t feel welcomed at that moment and we probably will not go back there just because for the amount of money paid it’s not worth it We went there to relax and it was very noisy ac compressor maybe? And in the morning 8 am drilling noises and construction sounds The property is really beautiful, with a nice view of the ocean and the coast line The beach is nice too they have sand toys for the kids to borrow and will set up chairs and umbrellas for you The food was delicious!

Wendy Pechero

First visit at this Ritz-Carlton and it was an excellent stay We were upgraded to the Club level and our experience was superb The staff were helpful and offered suggestions on restaurants and local attractions

The food was great along with the drinks I would totally do Club level again at the Ritz! Loved the fact that the support staff was diverse and mingled with all of us

This was our first time staying at Montague Laguna Beach and will definitely not be our last We had an amazing experience The staff goes above and beyond with absolutely everything from valet, to the restaurant, front desk, the spa, pool attendants, and room attendants

Everyone here makes it their mission to provide a wonderful customer experience We ended up extending a day because we didn’t want to leave The grounds are well kept and you can see they take pride in all areas of the property Their private beach is stunning and just a short walk from the rooms I’m already looking forward to our next trip here

Candice Horde

Where do I start? First and foremost, this is the best customer service experience I’ve had since moving to California 5 years ago No age or racial bias that my partner and I have experienced in the past at resorts, just kindness, patience, and attention to detail The view is breathtaking, peaceful, and colorful

The beaches are clean and not overpopulated The rooms are clean and meticulously designed, and the tech & COVID friendly way they have their menus the remote set up is pretty innovative The concierge knows what they’re doing and will make whatever accommodations happen In love with this place; will be absolutely returning

Jedi Master ASU

We spent 4 nights at the Montage The place was wonderful, clean and relaxing pace It was a perfect quiet vacation that we wanted

The room was clean and it smelled good We appreciated the little things They had a lady that came out with different animals at the pool The day we found out about her, she had a hawk that scared away some birds They also had live music on the pool and it was really nice The beach was almost empty and the place feels really high end The food was also great The staff was kind and nice and the valet would get our cars out very fast We never had to wait long on anything Had a great time and will come back soon

I was anxious when I booked the room I called the hotel on the day of arrival so I couldn’t see the picture of the room But It turned out to be one of the best experiences

It’s not a resort- I wish they have a pool or hot tub (that’s why I didn’t give 5 stars) But everything else was perfect The location can’t be better There were small grocery and good coffee shops It’s walking distance to the pier restaurant and the beautiful beach trail My room has “limited ocean view” and no balcony, but I could still see the beach and the pier from the big living window The unit is huge for one person It’s well equipped and very clean Bathroom looked new to me I appreciate the strong Wifi since I had to work sometimes during my stay Parking was included and I was able to park my car right below my unit Overall totally enjoyed my stay at the Sea Horse

M. Muhls

What a place! Great service amazing views, just fantastic for a getaway There’s shops and restaurants on the boardwalk and down the street Nothing but fresh open air and relaxing vibes

There’s a zen garden to enjoy coffee in the morning ( or afternoon) The front office has all the amenities you need for a day at the beach If your ever in San C, try this place!

Mills Kelly

I liked this hotel very much It’s a throwback to the old days of Laguna Beach and has some quirky features, like a pool out by the sidewalk (enclosed in glass) and murals painted on the walls outside The views are fantastic and the staff was very friendly and helpful

It is due for a renovation — peeling paint on the railings, etc — and the manager told me that they are about to do a full redo of the place (including adding a restaurant) This hotel is NOT fancy, so if you want fancy, stay somewhere else If you want comfy, convenient, and reasonably priced, it’s great

Sheri Harrington

Location: 5 stars! Quality per price point: 5 stars! We only had 2 issues… First, our room was never serviced in the 5 nights we stayed We would have to go to the front desk to request fresh towels House keeping never stepped foot inside of our room, even though we displayed the “room service requested” sign daily

After 4 days I stopped by the front desk and asked if we could get our room serviced since we were going to be gone all day When we got home at 11:00 that night still nothing I went to the front desk and, very nicely, let them know of the situation Which leads us to issue number 2… Juanita She was VERY dismissive and patronizing and never once offered an apology or an explanation Would I stay there again? Yes! Would I be prepared to clean by own room? Yes! I would also avoid Juanita

Austin Griffith

Good: The location is amazing It’s right in the middle of Laguna Beach, so you have options to go north or south for food, shopping and beaches There’s also beach access directly from the back of the property, which once again is very convenient

The staff was always extremely friendly and accommodatingBad: First off, I had no idea that my King Suite was going to be in another building down the street from the main hotel Laguna Riviera (it was the Seven Four One) In a way, that was a plus because it was extremely private, but there were a few downsides though First, there weren’t any staff stationed at the other property Any time I needed something (like turning on the fire pit), I would have to walk up the street and ask because there also weren’t phones in the rooms either Speaking of lacking technology, there wasn’t a TV in the room Can you believe it? No TV! I guess the property is trying to be a little less technology centric, but a TV should be a MUST in a hotel room If you they were trying to be less technology focused, why offer WiFi then? This was extremely annoying for my partner and I We probably won’t stay here again because of what it’s lacking, which is unfortunate because of the great location

Our time there was very nice, but the room is dated and some of the furniture could use some repair/scratch treatment They could also update the chairs in the room to something a little more comfortable Otherwise, the breakfast was basically continental/American and had some decent choices

The hotel is also conveniently located to shopping and many good restaurants and fast food places I would recommend them to anyone who wants a decent place to stay for a reasonable price

Sue H

My cousin and his wife stayed here to be close to my Mom in Laguna Woods They were given a discount on the room, and breakfast was included They reported it was very nice

There was a fridge in the room and she loved the heat lamp and plush towels in the bathroom! It was very clean and they loved the beautiful grounds They would definitely stay here again

Tommy Savage

Great clean rooms with a so-so continent breakfast, but it is free, so how can I complain The brightest point of the hotel besides it’s cleanliness, great sized rooms and fair prices is the staff that works there They are the most helpful individuals I have ever met

They were always concerned about my needs and did everything they could to take care of everything for me It didn’t matter if it was the morning shift or evening shift they were all fantastic! Thank you ladies and gentlemen for being true professionals!

It is the only Hostel/Hotel in San Clemente with a reasonable price, which was important for meThe people there were vefy friendly and when I had some issues they went beyond what was necessary to accommodate meOverall San Clemente is a cool place to visit and the hostel has cool/good vibes

Yeji Park

Atmosphere of the hotel was nice and young It was walkable distance by state beachI don’t want to be mean, but think my honest review will save some people from spending their extra money

I booked 4 nights, but i decided to leave right after checking the room even though i knew i could not get a refundThe smell of the room was musty and unpleasant, and i instantly got a headache And window was kinda broken, I could open the window but could not close I had to put so much effort to close the window( I was wondering how they ventilate the room) The bedding did not feel fresh Customer service was ok, but could’ve been betterI would not call this as ‘hotel’ It’s definitely way cheaper(one third) than other hotels in the area So the choice is on you

Especially Guazy she’s always professional and polite and happy to answer any of you’re questions We will definitely be back soon Don’t forget to check out the pool! It’s a must

Katelynn Santiago-Akdag

Stayed here last weekend for a couple of days with my husband The hotel is in an excellent location–close to downtown and conveniently located next to the freeway It only took 5-7 min to drive to downtown/the pier

A big plus is they offer complimentary breakfast The room itself was clean overall They had a lot of bench space to put your luggage, hang clothes etc, which I really appreciated The bed was very comfortable! My biggest complaint was the noise from the hallway You can hear everything going on outside your door So that really got annoying, since I am a light sleeper Also a minor complaint, was that our card key had some trouble with staying active We came back to the hotel from a wedding around 1:30am and it was annoying getting to our room and not being able to get in Thankfully there was someone at the front office that was able to reactivate the card Overall, If you’re staying just a couple days, this is a good hotel that meets your needs

Kirsten Staley

Our trip got off to a rough start Our room was not ready when they said it would be and the front desk staff were quite rude about it The manager did make amends for that

Our room was spacious with older furnishings The hotel location was ideal for us with great views We got the room that was advertised and enjoyed having a semi-private outdoor area with a decent view It is an older hotel so do not expect modern luxury This has more of a quaint, romantic inn feel The wine & cheese reception, and included breakfast are nice amenities We brought our dog and there were bowls for him in the room, also a nice touch I took off 1 star for the front desk staff Unfortunately they were not friendly and inviting in general for a hotel this size Undecided if we’d stay here again When you pay over $300 / night you expect excellent service and hospitality but we do appreciate management’s prompt response and compensation

Anthony Walters

My wife and I have gone by this place for years, dreaming of spending a few nights right on the water So, when we walked in one day and made a reservation we decided to treat ourselves to the tower room on the third floor We were really excited about the idea of space and privacy- things that our little apartment does not afford us

However, when we checked in, it turns out that when we made our reservation IN PERSON, they mistakenly booked us for the first floor It doesn’t seem that bad at first until you realize there is a public seating area right outside your room If I wanted to be shut in to maintain my privacy, I would have just stayed home

Dawn Simpson

We are staying 3 nights for my mom’s birthday in the most elegant room#101 where we have a covered patio and stayed out late playing Rummikub I can smell the fresh clean ocean air out there with coffee early in early calm morning and barely hear cars among the birds surrounding us—a lovely rug to do Yoga on indeed The staff is very kind

And the inn is close enough to San Diego Zoo Safari Animal Park and Legoland The food at the Sea and Wind Restaurant at the inner harbor (a 5 minute drive down the cliff) was tasty with a Hawaiian flair The beach is also a short drive Once you check out, you’ll miss the fresh baked cookies and perfect chef’s choice breakfast brought to your room (#101…) if you choose not to make new friends in the open dining room or veranda Our room has a sunken living room (caution-3 steps down with railing) a large bathroom, and a very cold fridge which came in handy Check out the Gosby House Inn, Monterey So far, Dana Point is my favorite A lovely experience Cheers!!Happy Birthday Mom🥳

Beau

Pros: Great location, beautiful venue (roof top), affordable, staff were beyond kind / gracious / helpful I celebrated a wedding here and loved everything except the roomCons: Rooms were small, ocean view was blocked by cables / electrical wire

No chair for ocean view window Nail sticking out of bed head board Mold growing on bathroom walls Small fridge that didn’t work No coffee maker available upon request They didn’t allow us to have early check in and made us wait until 4 pm for check in Despite this the room seemed very dirty other than the bedding changed

Maia Aman

Wonderful place to stay! Historic and quaint charm with laid-back vibe Staff were very friendly and everything was clean The location is amazing as it’s just steps from the beach with lots of dining and shops around

They have a coffee bar with pastries for breakfast in the morning and you can enjoy their rooftop with great ocean views

Mike Girardin

I have stayed at Casa Del Camino many times for both work and pleasure It’s a nice little hotel, with cozy rooms, friendly staff, and a good breakfast It’s close to many shops, the beach, and restaurants

Despite it’s proximity to the main street, it’s also relatively quiet Some of the rooms may be a little small for families, but for couples, it is idealThere’s a reason I keep going back I highly recommend

Cannot recommend coming here enough! Every member of staff was extremely friendly and made it a priority to greet us Natalie at the front desk was super sweet! We received a complimentary sangria upon arrival and breakfast in the morning Worth mentioning that the blackened chicken tacos were AMAZING! We had them for lunch and dinner because they were that good! If you get a chance checkout the pool and the hidden sunset overlook

So glad we chose to stay here and hopefully we’ll get the chance to come back! 🤍

I cannot say enough great things about Casa Laguna My wife and I absolutely loved our stay here If you’re looking for a unique, quaint, quiet, boutique, private resort feel, and a place with some history & character, Casa Laguna is for you

One of its most unique features is it feels as though you’re in a big garden – the property is covered in beautiful flowers, trees, and other shrubbery The staff provided exceptional service The food was incredible, especially the burger and chicken tacos 10 minute walk to Victoria Beach Short trolley ride to the main part of town Towels, chairs, and umbrella for beach included Breakfast included We would recommend Casa Laguna to anyone One of our favorite places we’ve stayed while on vacation anywhere

This place is a hidden gem Driving past it on coast highway I never would have known how beautiful the property is Much of the historic building has been preserved but also upgraded to modern amenities in the rooms

I loved walking slowly through the grounds because of the attention and care given to landscaping with native and exotic plants- everywhere I turned was another sight to enjoy, along with seating areas that are so inviting Every staff member that I encountered was friendly and hospitable Complimentary breakfast options are delicious and made to order

The hotel is okay The entry is very nice and the staff is kind It’s lovely when you enter, but once you go up in the elevator, everything is dated

Our room is an ocean view with a balcony, which is nice It’s very noisy It’s almost 1am, on a Friday night, and the bars across the street music are so loud I feel like I’m there The walls are incredibly thin I can hear the people walking and talking clearly in the room above us Street traffic is very loud in the room too We’re on the second floor Maybe a 3rd floor room would be quieter Our bathtub is very dirty

The Volare is going through some renovations and it was evident in some of their roomsWe used their onsite laundry for some loads, which contains 1 laundry machine & dryer available in the garage area from 7am-10pm everyday Their fitness facility was decent and looks to be hardly used

We were very lucky to have used our free nights from Choice pts for our 2night stay, as the redemption levels were low The location is prime as it’s 3 min walk to the bars and restaurants and 20min walk to beach pier

We had our early mother’s day dinner there last Saturday I have known Hotel Laguna for many many years The new ownership/management did a wonderful job with all the changes they have implemented

The bar opening to the patio is such a great idea The fun and positive vibe is so welcomed at the restaurant Thank you for giving us, Orange County residents such a great option for dining and having fun at a reasonable price

J M Garcia

Such a historic place needs the attention of being upgraded Happy to be apart of itOnce its finished it can be a very energetic place to have a nice dinner on one of California’s top beachfront restaurantsGreat Job to the Super Greg who oversees the whole project

Seems a great guy to work with or work for

I’m a local and I really want to like this place I really do The hotel itself isn’t open so this is a review of the restaurant

The decor is beautiful, the views couldn’t be better, the menu looks good We came to eat in the bar right after they opened and I thought I’d give them another try even though the service was disappointing It seemed like they recruited at Fridays in Vegas We had the exact same experience this time, except worse VERY low-end service in a high-end environment I think the incongruity actually makes the poor service stand out more Either dumb down the decor or upgrade the staff First we sat in the bar, but after sitting for 10 minutes with no service at all I asked to go into the dining room I’m glad I did because the view is amazing! We were given only one menu which we had to share The waiter asked if I was ready to order after we had been seated for less than a minute and he didn’t ask for a drink order We ordered and then half the food came out 15 minutes before the other half That’s just not done! How rude! I get to choose between bad manners and cold food Not cool I don’t even think they get that wrong at Fridays! While we were still eating a busser tried to take the plate with the sauces on it It happens, but it’s annoying when you have to micromanage your table staff when trying to enjoy your meal Then when we were done eating we sat with dirty plates for half an hour while we waited for our desert We finally decided to leave without our desert We paid at the desk, not the table because we had been waiting too long The food sounded a lot better than the reality The burger was tasteless for some reason, the octopus was inedible — chewy and dry somehow at the same time The short-rib cigars were delicious tho Please please get new staff and training more befitting the vibe of the rest of the place I’d love to enjoy this place it’s so perfect in every other way The staff just needs to class it up! I’d be so happy to change my review in the future Good luck!

Wow I had SUCH a lovely stay here quite honestly my stay may be the best at any hotel It was so clean and comfortable I almost felt like I was staying at my own home I have to say what really did it for me was the front desk staff – holy cow they went to above and beyond helping me with all of my requests (even switching rooms a few times)

They were patient and kind beyond words The rooms were comfortable, there were so many great amenities that came with our stay like tickets to the mission and dining credits I will most certainly be back and I cannot say enough nice things about this beautiful hotel, it was a treat to stay here

Patrick Madden

A relatively new property in a cool and historic area The design of the property is excellent and fits in wonderfully with the surrounding area Staff throughout the property were top-notch, especially the valet staff and bartenders in the restaurant

It’s a great place for a short weekend retreat to unwind and relax That said, I found the room to be quite small and I didn’t feel inclined to spend an extended period of time relaxing in the room beyond sleeping at night Fortunately, the property is walking distance to some great restaurants, a historic museum, and the train station if you want to take a quick ride down to San Diego for the day

Success Expressed

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful resort! I remember the plot of land empty and neglected for decades And now we have a Wonderful resort with beautiful architecture in old San Juan It’s amazing what you can do with the proper planning

The rooms and interiors are authentically designed to the mission and SJC style, just beautiful!We enjoyed the pool amenities and the sunshine with the proper positioning under the sunWhat we really liked about the hotel was the staff They are so friendly, down to earth, welcoming and attentive One of the managers, Michael passed by the pool and checked in on each guest and we had a lovely chat with himDuring brunch on Sunday, another manager, Rod, rolled up his sleeves and helped to bring umbrellas for the guests, the bar tender knew all the trivia of the hotel as he had been here from day oneFrom the valet guys to housekeeping, to waiters, front desk to managers, service was top of mindThank you, we highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway!

It presents a fancy place when you 1’st walk in It’s an older hotel, room needed minor fixes, we just did without Bathroom door would not lock, and sliding door track was held down with tape and came up with use

The beds are good come with 4 pillows and comfortable Nice cold fridge, but no microwave It was fine for our needs, and they accept pets at $50 a night

Susan Ranahan

About 80 women were there for a celebratory luncheon The service was outstanding and all did an excellent job attending to so many with so few The food was served hot and fresh, and the servings were not skimpy

Taste and presentation were great!There was a lot going on and timing was important The microphones worked, the table set up was lovely and it was a very enjoyable time

Brian C

Unfortunately, didn’t even get the opportunity to stay here Had a family emergency and needed a room for the night For some reason the website was allowing us to book any room, so when I called to book the room, I was quoted significantly higher than their own site

When I asked why, she said we needed to book on the site to get that price, even though I explained that the site wasn’t working Again she said we needed to book on the site and to have a nice dayclick Hopefully they will get their site working so others won’t run into the same experience

Since covid the upgrades have been amazing I have always been comfortable here I wanted to get in the spa real bad and wish they would open the spa hours longer, but when I arrived to the spa there were 8 guest in it and I had 15 min

I stay here at least 20 times a year And the thing I look for is jumping in the spa So when this happens it absolutely sucks The could certainly do better with making sure the water pressure and shower fixers work well Maybe some new fixers that create better pressure But other then that with prices now your not finding much better with all that is offered Keep it up Love this place

Haylee Beynon

Possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at due to their hotel manager Lisa I contracted with San Clemente Inn for my big wedding weekend I say this with absolute assurance that every single person who booked a room through our room block had an issue

Some guests were told our room block didn’t exist (so I would call and resolve the issue on others behalf), some were told it was sold out and they needed to get a room elsewhere, some never even received a emailed confirmation following up their reservations, and some were told they didn’t have a reservation upon arrival When my guests were told it was sold out, I was then given a call to let me know that I needed to sell more rooms or they would be taking my deposit I quickly informed them of my guests that were told it was sold out (3 different occasions), to which the manager Lisa gave me such attitude and spoke over me with such a condescending tone asking for the time and date to which my guest was told this so she could listen to the phone recording I don’t keep records of my guests phone log, so I couldn’t provide that information When I followed up to resolve the issue I was informed by an employee that phone calls are NOT recorded, so I am not too sure why Lisa said this I had guests who arrived who were told they didn’t have a reservation even though they had a credit card charge Every interaction with management was met with such grief and aggression The staff at the front desk were lovely, but I must say this is a hotel ran by a manager without customer service skills We are in a time when staffing is short and so I try my hardest to be patient and kind, but the troubles we faced were met with a lack of customer care and I think the owners of this hotel should know I will not be staying here and neither will any of my 35 guests due to the difficulties they caused throughout the entire experience San Clemente Inn needs to figure out their hotel management and get a hold because this was no way to treat any customer

Anastasia Zlobina

At first glance everything looked good, but the hotel is VERY – VERY noisy Our room was at the ground level Their floor is made of tile and you can hear every step, loud screechy sounds when upstair neighbors moved their chairs and it can be as late as 2 am or as early as 6am

Also room service didn’t do their work as often as we would like to Our room wasn’t clean for 3 days and we had a lot of trash and used towels on the floor The queen bed is comfortable, the other 2 twin beds are notOn the bright side the pool is very good It has a salt water instead of chemicals The room has a full size fridge, microwave, small stove top, even a small dishwasherMy overall stay was bitter sweet
