Roosevelt Inn

House was very clean and welcoming . Had questions when I arrived, response time was quick. I really enjoyed my stay it was a nice peaceful pause on a long journey back home

Very clean and comfortable

The shared area (kitchen, living room) was big and nice. There was a bottle of wine and some candies in the bedroom. The place was clean; I didn't see any bugs. There was a nice USB-charging unit on the nightstand. There was a cappuccino maker in the kitchen (though I didn't take time to figure out how it worked). The location was convenient to Beach Blvd, yet not noisy. The wi-fi worked well. The property managers were polite and gave me the information I needed.

I was surprised that the bathroom was a shared one. Apparently that was in the fine print, but I didn't notice it until it was too late. However, it worked out OK because there was no one else staying there at the time who shared that bathroom. I wouldn't even necessarily object to it at the price, as long as the other guests are trustworthy, but it just came as a total surprise. The bathroom walls had some rips in the wallpaper, and the toilet paper holder was broken. The bedroom walls had marks. Again, not a big deal at that price, and for my utilitarian purposes it was fine. The clock on the nightstand was set wrong and I couldn't figure out how to change the time. The driveway has two lanes, so if you have more than two parties staying there, you'll have to negotiate who needs to leave first in the morning. If you try to look at the property on Google Street View, it's blurred out. That's their prerogative, but it's not very assuring to a prospective customer. It's like they don't want you to know what the front of the house looks like. By the day of my check-in, I didn't receive any info about how to check in. I had emailed the previous day, but I didn't get a response till I was getting close, and I can't check email often on the road. I also called the property, and got a recording. Left a message. Later I did get a call back, in time for my check-in. The manager was very polite and gave me the info I needed. But it's a good thing I had my cell phone with me and charged and had reception ... otherwise I would have had no idea how to unlock the door. Would have been better to send me that info *before* I traveled.

Convenient to my destination.

I usually don't like to write negative comments, and these may seem to be minor, but "guests" should be aware. Advertising or location description could have been more clear that there is a large shared common space for all to use (living room, kitchen, dining area). The rental rooms are in a long hallway. I never did see any of the other guests face-to-face, but was aware they were there. The site appeared clean and the bed was comfortable. But, I'd hate to have had to share this room, as the bed is really close to the outer wall, and you'd have to be really skinny to walk to that side of the bed - which my husband is not (ha ha). The one shared bathroom was adequate only because the facility wasn't full. There was only one bath mat - for four rooms: so if you weren't the first person to use the shower, you had to step in someone else's cold, wet mess. Need to provide each guest room with their own bath mat, as this is not sanitary. Kitchen is for snacks only. Sign states it is not meant for meal preparation. I asked for a blanket (by message) - response was that I could get one from the main common room. I was only a throw, not a blanket, and not long enough. The TV instructions were inadequate. Website said to use headphones to listen to TV but none were provided - so it was not clear one needed to bring their own. There was an electrical power strip for plugging in devices, but it could be a bit longer so it is easier to use. I'm not as young as I used to be and bending over to reach under the table wasn't the easiest. Sorry to point out these deficiencies. The facility did provide me with a reasonably priced place to stay.
