My boyfriend and I stayed at the Patricia Grand for a long weekend getaway. Be warned - not all rooms are the same. Some have been updated, others have not. Some are damaged very badly, while others have minor wear (but still not new by any means). It is a gamble to what you are going to get. That is why these reviews are so mixed. As for cleanliness, it is by far the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in. I had to drink a few glasses of wine each night before I felt comfortable sleeping in the dirty bed. The staff was very rude and unprofessional, complaints addressing the staff doesn't matter nor do they get resolved. The parking garage is tiny. Supposedly, this hotel is under new management but please do not let that fool you into believing it is a decent hotel. One good thing is the ocean view, but the room smelled of cigarette smoke and urine so badly (even when we specifically stated - no smoking or urine ;-), it was hardly enjoyed. I am sure these reviews mean nothing when people are desperate and need a room and this hotel will stay occupied regardless of reviews counting on desperation, but for the sophisticated traveler you will be very disappointed. It is almost criminal that they can actually charge money to stay at this dive.
