Htop Royal Sun #HtopFun in Santa Susanna

October 2023. Disgusting old rooms, breakfast was very mediocre but the restaurant was filthy, all cutlery and plates were dirty. Large physical key that is not safe in a fire as you have to lock yourself in and out the room from the inside with the key, housekeeping let themselves into our room half an hour before we checked out. Only stayed for one night and wish I hadn’t even stayed for that. Unknown red marks on the bedding and a cigarette burn hole, curtains look like they’ve not been changed since 2001, wall paper was peeling off, room smelt really bad, shower curtain was yellow and the shower sprayed all over the bathroom when you turned it on. Twisty hot and cold taps that drip all night in the bathroom and a pull knob on the wall for the toilet flush. My partner didn’t even shower here because the room just felt dirty. Walls were thin so we could hear other people, plus we were put in a room right by the lift so every time someone pressed the button we could hear it ding in our room. Additionally the hotel backs onto the train track so the noise of the train was extremely loud. Pool was in the shade all day and very small. Staff were friendly, none of the issues are their fault. Location was good as the hotel has a door that leads out onto the beach. Avoid at all costs, needs an renovation ASAP.
