Wonderful location. Hotel room is pristine and clean with modern design. Complimentary coffee provided and the hotel’s restaurant is quite posh. Only downside no free parking but there are a few public parking area within 3-5 min walking distance. Strongly recommended

It's 4:49 AM and I've barely slept all night.
I had a bad feeling when I saw the earplugs when I walked in. After all, this hotel is too close to Highway 101 (about fifty meters), and Highway 101 is busy, so the rumbling noise kept me awake all night.
The compressor of the refrigerator in the room was also making a very loud noise, and there was milk in it, so I had no choice but to put up with it.
I could also hear the conversation in the next room. I suspected that the floors of our two rooms were connected. I could clearly tell his walking speed through the sound of the floor.
The towels and quilt didn't smell fresh, and the small area rug was so dark that I really wanted to put it away.
I really can't give a good review for this hotel, although the landlord is very enthusiastic and I think the landlord is not bad.
By the way, the landlord doesn't live here, maybe that's the source of the problem.
Anyway, services can be good or bad, but the most fundamental thing is to get value for money. But obviously the experience of living here is totally not worth the cost I paid.
Finally, boss, I can’t sign because I don’t have a pen and you didn’t even think of preparing it.

This was the worst night I slept in the United States. I almost didn’t sleep all night. It wasn’t the noise of the cars outside (it wasn’t too loud), but the quilt on the bed was actually a thick wool blanket. Although the United States morning and evening It's cooler but not as hot as a thick wool blanket in the summer. I took my kids to sleep on the same bed. We both really didn't sleep well all night, and we were very low-energy the next day. The internal facilities in the room are relatively complete, but it is really hard to think of a wool blanket in summer. I also visited the town the next day and found that there were so many inns. You can choose from more and read the reviews.

I want to especially praise Ctrip's service. We were traveling so fast that we couldn't get to the hotel until midnight, and there was no one on duty at the hotel at night. Ctrip tracked us all the way and comforted me that if I couldn't find the door key they would help me solve the problem. It was very reassuring. Finally checked in smoothly, thank you!

We had another wonderful stay at the Shell Beach Inn. Very clean room, very comfortable, I love the new A/C unit. The pool was very nice. I really appreciated the excellent communication with the office staff. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

My experience was as follow:
I had tried to contact the hotel several times to ask for an early check in. Finally, I received a response from Lori (who was very kind by the way).
Second, they were changing the room’s locks, so we couldn’t get our key at that time. Lori texted me with all the instructions to get my key, however the key didn’t work!!we had to called her and after around 30 min we could get in to our room.
