My stay that the Blue Water Inn was pretty good. I didn’t read the reviews until after I booked, so I was a bit worried that it was going to be a nightmare. My experience, however, was good! The room was clean, the contactless check in was great. When I needed help finding my room, the front desk person was so helpful. Overall, it’s obviously not a 5 star hotel, but for a 1 night trip to OC, you’re not gonna beat this price.

Blue at Blue Water Inn

AC did not work properly--barely cooled room enough to sleep. Toilet tended to backup with slow water flow--several flushes needed. We did get clean towels as needed--apparently there was a minimal room service. Floors were clean. Frig and microwave worked. Several electric outlets were nonfunctional. Not at all as depicted in online materials.

You get what you pay for

Because of the low cost, there were pretty much mostly teens and young adults that were drunk and high and very noisy until after 2:00am. The parking situation is quite odd as you have 1 long parking spot that 2 cars fit in, so if someone parks behind you, you have to hope they left their keys with the front desk or that they can be reached if you have to get your car out. The pool was nice and relaxing. It is a very old building, that while the charm from that is cool, it badly needs to be updated.

30 min wait for check in after check in time room wasn’t cleaned. Shower didn’t work. Gave other room someone was in there. Talked to owner and said contact Expedia to get your money back because that’s how we paid and said she would let you know to refund money. (Heather) but I finally got a room and it’s fine after an hour looking for a “clean room” I want a refund

wow, definitely not as pictures on website suggested...no lamp? cracked restroom fixture...first time to the 'room' key didn't even fit into the lock, much less open the door...this was third floor, by the way...window unit noisy, blinds broken...was informed after check in that my credit card to hotels.com was declined...not having a way to immediately check this, of course I proffered the same card, being in hearshot of other guests during this interaction...turns out, not declined and even charged 29.00 more than paid to hotels.com...

It was a boarding room with a 3 ft bathroom and no windows. At all. We had to sleep one up one down to fit in the bed when I requested the room with 2 beds. Then the fire alarm went off in the morning and we had to evacuate. No staff was on site to talk to the police and fire dept.

Pros: The man who checked us in was very nice. The pool/pool area was nice and clean. Cons: This hotel room was filthy. The bathroom was grimy and definitely had bodily fluid stains around The toilet. Slanted floors. No furniture was attached to the walls, which made me a little nervous as we travelled with two toddlers. Electronic cords hanging around. There was a huge hole above the shower and I could see into the ceiling. Broken blinds. Yikes. Big yikes.

It was only a few blocks to the boardwalk. Besides that, I feel like everytime I left the room, I heard another guest complaining about the condition of their room. Ours had a slanted floor and broken bed. If you plan spending zero time in the hotel, I guess the price was ok.
