Weird Layout & No Chairs
I traveled with my wife and 8-year old son. We got one of the efficiency rooms, which had 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen. The layout was not conducive to our family situation as the "master bedroom" was off to the side while the other bedroom was attached to the kitchen and bathroom. So my wife and I had to take that room, which had 2 beds while my son took the one with the queen-sized bed. The kitchen was small and quite frankly I would not have felt comfortable cooking on the range if the situation presented itself. Plus with the exception of small kitchen benches, there were no chairs in the entire suite.

There are 3 levels to this property and I believe I was given the worst. Ok I understand the best rooms were taken but don’t charge those rates for a dumpy room. I also messaged this property with my complaint and requested some sort of credit…. Crickets. Dirty filthy LOUD CHEAP ROOM!

When you spend more than 300 dollars per night, you expect your room to be at least clean, free of dust, with clean floors when you check in. Pricing certainly doesn’t reflect the quality of stay and experience. Not to mention loud college students partying till 4 am. I understand that’s out of the hotel’s control but it doesn’t hurt to enforce policies.

Expedia “overbooked” my room this weekend and I got put in a room for the same price with no balcony or kitchen for the same price located in a different building. My room was than dirty , floor was dirty , shower was disgusting and dresser draws dirty. I asked the manager for a new room or atleast to have house cleaning clean the room and got told they couldn’t do either . Sink was broken, ac barely worked . Place was horrible all around. Manager told me to “never look at pictures of hotel because it’s not accurate”.

We liked this place for a few reasons: space/ size of rooms, closeness to beach & friendly staff. It’s easier to walk to most places if you are staying near ship bottom. Driving out to get to beach haven is annoying as you’re right in the causeway traffic. That was the only part we didn’t like as that’s a dangerous intersection.

We had the ocean view room which was excellent. However, inside the room was out dated and needs to be remodeled. The carpet looked dirty and had a coffee stain on it. The bathtub had a slight crack and we notified the front desk. The staff was friendly and amenities were ok.
