William, Corona Del Mar

More a hostel than a hotel. Many rooms have no bathrooms so there is a constant sound of doors opening and closing. There was no heat in my room and the front desk said the heat is controlled by the residential units in the building. They obviously chose not to turn on the heat. The outside temperature was 59 degrees and the feels like temperature was 49 due to wind and rain. The price was right but the product was awful.,
