    I booked at this property April 17 - 20th. First, the while property smelled of pot, which I cant be around due to my occupation. Then there was a pretty serious domestic argument, yelling, noises that sounded like things being thrown or people being hot, the of morning 4/18 at the hotel, to the point where almost all guests were on their balconies trying to see if the people were ok. I was seriously afraid that someone was going to get hurt in this argument. I went to the front desk to report it, and their response was, someone is walking around trying to see where its coming frim. They were very casual and not concerned. The fight continued for at least another 15 minutes (it had already been going on for about 30 minutes) after I told them what floor it was coming from. I told the front desk I didnt feel safe at the hotel die to their lack of urgency to remedy the situation. The front desk simply said, Ok. Have a good one. I checked out to a safer place. I have emailed the hotel and called and left my number for a manager, but none of my attempts have been answered. I would like to be refunded for the two nights that I didnt stay because of the lack of concern for safety.

    Reserved two rooms for 3 nights each in August 2024 for oct 2024 at ocean crest inn and suites in *************** for $430.77. When we arrived at the hotel we saw a sign that the elevator is broken and that refunds can be given. We opted for a refund because the first floor is a parking garage and we are traveling with my parents who are in their 80s and cant do stairs, plus Im legally permanently disabled as well and cant do stairs. We had no way to get to our rooms. So we requested a refund while at the hotel from priceline. They said they must contact the hotel which they did while we waited in the lobby. We were told we would get a refund. That was about oct 25, 2024. We spent three hours finding another hotel. Its now march 2025 and still no refund. I have called priceline 22x and spoke with at least 7 supervisors. Its always the same song and dance. Well we have to contact booking who has to contact the hotel. We have to give them 2 days, or 5 days, or 7 days, or whatever to respond. After that amount of time we will contact you. Silence on my phone. Then I got an email stating that we canceled and the rooms are non refundable. Now priceline refuses to fight for us to get a refund.* we did not cancel the room - we arrived to a broken elevator and had no way to get up the stairs *we are legally permanently disabled - how are we suppose to get up the stairs *we were told that because we did not reserve a handicap room they will not refund the reservation -there is no law stating that I need to tell anyone my medical history to reserve a room at a hotel They offered me a two night refund out of the 6 nights I booked. Are they crazy? They want me to pay them for 4 nights I couldnt use my room because they were not handicap accessible? The *** states equal access, not kind of sort of depending upon how you interpreted access. Its their fault we couldnt stay. I will not pay them any money. I am demanding a full refund .4 pics enclosed Please help

    After checking in at the hotel on 07/15/2024, as we walked to our room we first noticed multiple people laying on the floors of the hotel through the hallway. This was concerning, but we continued to the elevator to reach our room. We were greeted by an individual working maintenance at the elevator. We briefly spoke about how hot it has been and he pulled a Modelo beer can out of his pocket and stated he was okay since he had his fuel. After entering the elevator, we noticed the roof of the elevator appeared to be held together with black zip ties. We quickly decided to leave the hotel due to obvious safety concerns with housing our 1-year old daughter at this location. We were refunded all but $96.00 after checking out. I do not feel it appropriate to still be charged for a night at this hotel we did not stay due to the obvious safety concerns mentioned.

    I came from ******* ******* to ************ for my birthday I chose this ocean crest inn because I thought it was a nice room as they show on the internet. But when I got here I was very upset about my room. The door was mess up, the tube was nice the room was also stinky that I had to buy my own cleaning stuff to clean the room so it can smell and look like a room before I could see in it.

    This hotel had bed bugs, roaches, dirty sheets and black mold! The manager and staff would not help with anything and made me afraid to ask for my money back so my husband and I could find another place to stay. The entire place is filthy and the elevator is a death trap waiting to happen! I asked about checking out the next day and was told I wouldn't be refunded. The place needs to be shut down, staff refused to give me owners contact information.
