We felt valued as guests
We visited O.C. two years ago and stayed at the Roadway Inn (the old part near the road) and it was awful. The room was very old and dingy and small. There was much noise from the road at night and for what we paid we were very disappointed. During this stay we had walked to Dunes Manor for breakfast and were very pleased with the food and service. It seemed like a much nicer place to stay so I figured it was going to be much more expensive. However, when I checked into the rates, I was pleasantly surprised. We reserved a corner room this year (2005)(which has two queen, not double beds)and we loved it! The view of the beach was great (every room is oceanfront). The customer service was exceptional. Our room was spotless and had many amenities such as coffee maker, refrig., iron, hairdryer. I can't speak highly enough about it. The only minor thing that was inconvenient at times was the wait for the elevator, however, it was not too bad most of the time. The employees were always very pleasant and we always felt valued as guests. I highly recommend this place, and even though it seems to attract an older crowd, we saw a lot of families with children too. However, it was definitely not a noisy, stay up late crowd, which we hate.
