My husband and I stayed at the SJ Beach hotel 5 years ago, it was the economical traveler's dream. We thought we would return for our anniversary and a trip down memory lane. Only the SJ beach hotel's room quality has taken a drastic nose dive. We were given 3 different rooms, after complaints about broken toilets, no lights, non... More

Thank you for your review! We are glad to see that our efforts are starting to be noticed. We are agressively attacking the past issues that this hotel was afflicted with. Aside from that, our renovation of the rooms is coming along beautifully. Customer service training is a high priority as well. We hope you will visit us again soon.... More

Hotel is heavily infested with roaches. complained 3 times to staff with no response. Roaches were crawling across the old mattresses and on the walls. My feet were sticking to the moldy rugs. More

We stayed in SJ Beach Hotel, December 2010 for 6 days. We arrived at 5 A.M. and our check-in wasn't scheduled to happen until 3:00 P.M. However, the front desk assistant, got us a room right away and didn't charge for any extra night. The room was pleasant, nothing too fancy. Our view was to the lake, which was very... More

This place is cool if staying a weekend you want to go out. Things you should be aware of: 1. Finding parking in this area is a little hard and valet parking at the hotel is $18 per day and they will do a $50 hold (for some reason) 2. No breakfast. But I went to this nice little place... More

The pictures on the hotels websites are misleading, the lobby and adjacent restaurant are very nice but that is where everything ends. Turn the corner to get on the elevator and you enter the hall of despair. The rooms are dirty, humid, insufficent insulation which makes the bed linens moldy and the bed and carpet damp. The bathroom was outdated... More

Dear Ms. Jean B. We are sorry that you left with the impression that you have described. Yes, we are in the process of remodeling the rooms. The dampness arises from opening the windows after the room has been conditioned with an air conditioner. The parking lot is...well...a parking lot in the gated basement and that is why we have...

This is an old hotel ... Therefore on would not expect perfection. I think for about half of the 87 dollar price one could not complain too much but at the "special" price of 87 dollars in my opinion I'd stay away. I got the phone number and tried to book direct but no one woulod answer the phone so... More

the lobby is deceiving - it is modern and clean. The room are VERY dirty and old and the room we were in had MANY roaches. We actually had to resort to spraying bug spray around the bed at night so roaches would not crawl over us. Looking back now, I don't know why we didn't leave and stay somewhere... More

Dear Ms Wendy. We are so unhappy with your experience while staying with us. Although we are an older hotel and under radical renovations in the rooms, we generally do not have a problem with insects. Unfortunately, they do arrive in other people luggage or packages. We respond to any sightings of insects instantly and professional exterminators are called in... More

As for insects, it may have been a local issue with your room as they are controlled in the whole building. Sadley, these insects are brought on by other guests before we are even... More
