We never got to stay at the hotel we booked the hotel on the appofhotel.com for July 26. We showed up waiting to check in and they said they didn’t have a reservation. I then share my confirmation from hotel.com. They said they were all booked for that date.

Our tv did not work ! We told the desk they said they fixed it they did not . Also the bathroom was running the whole time and the ceiling above the staircase to the third floor was leaking heavily . Staff was polite . The room served its purpose but was too small could not even walk in the room. The bed took up whole room

Our group had a fine stay at the Blue Water Inn. We chose the property because it was inexpensive even at the peak of the season and centrally located. The room was clean and cold. We enjoyed using the covered porch area for dinner and games. Downsides were: the climb to our room, which was on the 3rd floor after a steep flight of stairs to the lobby/front desk - not the most pleasant after a long hot day on the beach or walking around the island. The pool is small and located past the dumpsters in the parking lot of the hotel next door. Again, the price was right for this stay and in my younger days I might not have minded the pool and stairs, but I think us middle aged ladies will shell out the extra money for a more comfortable stay on our next visit.

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
