Adjoining Rooms

We stayed for 3 nights and did not spend much time in the rooms but they were very comfortable for sleeping. The major plus for us was the 2 rooms adjoined which was great for the family.

Hosts were very accommodating, giving directions to a nearby restaurant where we were to meet a friend. The room was clean, well arranged though on the small side. Shower head adjusts for taller people. A pleasant, affordable motel in this popular vacation city. Especially loved its location so close to the peninsula!

Worth the money

Not a bad little place...no complaints about the room other than it's well past time to replace the well broken-in mattress in room 15 lol Pool could use a little more skimming and cleaning but otherwise it suits it's purpose just fine

From the moment I pulled in I knew it was going to be a disaster. The property looks rough and the pool is green and cloudy. When we entered our room it was hot and SUPER small. We turned on the yellow stained, dusty window unit AC and got an unpleasant musty smell. At first glance it was clean but as we looked around we discovered a dirty bathroom, a used washcloth still in the shower, bugs in the sink, stained furniture, etc. We had to ask for toilet paper and towels because there were none. When we got the towels there were stains all over them. The walls are paper thin, which was unfortunate at 3am when the neighbors were fighting about getting high after we seen them standing in their doorway smoking what looked like a crack pipe. I felt extremely uncomfortable and unsafe, we blocked the door nightly with a chair because there is no deadbolts on the door by the way. Had I had the means to do so, I would have turned around and left the minute I seen the room. But, if you’re looking for a quick fix or possibly a prostitute, this place is perfect for you!

Formal Request for Full Refund Due to Uninhabitable Conditions – July 12 Stay To Steelhead Inn Management, I am writing to formally request a full refund for my stay at your property on July 12, 2024, which I booked through Hotels.com. The conditions of the room and the experience I endured with my family were unacceptable, especially under the circumstances we were facing. That evening, I had just left the emergency room after my husband was treated for heat exhaustion. I was alone with him and our two young children, trying to find a safe place to rest after a chaotic and frightening day. What I found at Steelhead Inn was the opposite of safe, clean, or acceptable. The issues included: • A broken television, for which you sent a maintenance worker to our room after 10 PM, further disrupting our already stressed and exhausted family. • A shower so full of bugs it could not drain, making it impossible for anyone to bathe. The infestation was deeply unsanitary and disturbing. • We were forced to pack up and move rooms late at night — an unreasonable and distressing situation with two small children. This was not a minor inconvenience. It was a nightmare stay after a medical emergency, and it failed to provide even the most basic standard of hospitality and hygiene. No family should have to endure what we did. I am requesting a full refund of returned to my original form of payment, within 7 business days. If I do not receive confirmation of this refu

The toilet didn't work so the owner told us to put the toilet paper in the garbage. My wife needed the WiFi to write a paper for school and it did not work. We finally got moved to another room and decided to leave so she could write the paper. I will never stay here again. The only positive was the house keeper was a very nice young lady.

Didn't like bathroom way to small you have to sit on the toilet sideways😔...also didn't like they wouldn't give you enough towels... example only 2 towels in room but 5 ppl in room plus you had to use the same towels for the swimming pool....it was a head ache had to take turns getting out of the pool to dry off to get another towel from the office after you turned in the towel just to have a dry towel to take a shower....

room was clean. we thought the bed was uncomfortable but beds are a personal preference, others may love it. website states office is open from 9:30am-11pm. we got there a little before 2:30, no one around. number on window to call for help, no one answered. finally after 10 minutes i saw a worker, he said he would get someone. she told we can't check in until 3pm! i have NEVER been told by any motel or hotel i couldn't check in if i was a bit early. i was told to come back after 3! wi-fi wouldn't work in my room. i told front desk but she said it was an incorrect password....well, it works 3 doors up. told another worker about it and he said he would check it out, it didn't work the entire time we were there unless i went 3 doors closer to the office.
