2nd stay here. This time we were in the “cabana” as the staff referred to it. There was limited to no hot water the 4 nights we stayed. No extra rolls of toilet tissue or towels. The view was great, but the sliding door was open when we arrived. The parking was good, but we did have someone take 2 fishing poles from our vehicle the first night there. Breakfast was coffee and breads or bagels. We emptied our own trash and it was picked up outside the door one of the 4 days there. The last night we stayed we took it to the garbage cans ourselves. To be transparent we are typically pretty easy to please- this was not the experience we had here the first stay. We will be looking at other options for our next stay. I did fail to mention our last night stay dogs barked all night and doors slammed- probably because they wouldn’t shut with ease.

the hotel is in disrepair. missing tiles in the ceiling, exposed pipes in the rooms, no hot water and NO HELP! I spoke with the front office multiple times about the issues and no one ever did a thing. Tried to speak with the manager who rarely ever shows up on the property. Asked for a discount which was implied would be given, but when I received my receipt, no discount. Tried to contact the manager for 1 month after my stay to no avail. It is now 2 months past my stay and I still have not heard from the manager. This is a very pricey hotel for the condition it is in. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ELSEWHERE.

Staff is very unprofessional the elevator floor is falling apart and only 1 out of 3 elevators are operational. Rooms are extremely HOT and the AC doesn’t get cold. The bathroom roof was filthy there was black mold all over the roof and it is impossible to get help from any of the staff. The parking is $10 for 24hr and within one hour my truck got broken into and the hotel of course can not help and Is not responsible!! Very dissatisfied with everything and would not recommend anyone stay at this location!!

Bad Mold
Horrible experience! The hallways were nasty. The room smelled like mold and just old everything.! Roaches throughout the hotel, dead and tons of spiders. The Whole Jacuzzi look like it had dirt stains, Looks like it has never been cleaned. And the beach that’s attached to the hotel was in horrible condition and not kept the boards with nail sticking up everywhere and broken glass. Couldn’t even utilize the beach at all. They did offer to give us a third room, but at this point with how severe the mold was that just means it’s everywhere in that hotel and my daughter is highly allergic to mold

Didnt enjoy my stay
When i got into my room the air conditioner was leaking water then i had to wait over an hour to get a new room. Then my new room didnt have hot water. The staff made me feel like they could care less. For the price i paid for the room i could of stay at a red roof for cheaper in a nicer room and services.

Disappointed
I only gave a star because the room actually had AC and was cool but I won’t be back, especially with my son. We rented for close to $200 for a pool side room and kids from a dance were running the halls late, the floors were extremely dirty and smelled, bathrooms gross, people smoking drugs, and it was hot inside. Couldn’t even enjoy the games set out. VERY disappointed on our stay. I almost took my family and left. Even the outside by the beach was scary in the dark areas. People roaming everywhere and not so friendly. This place used to be so pretty but not anymore. If you are okay with all the above, our bed was ok and the ax worked but the tv wouldn’t work, nor the Wi-Fi.

A few things we liked, there is a nice big swimming pool, with a big hot tub and games. This area is really spacious. The rooms have a fridge and microwave which is rare in hotels these days. A few things we didn’t like, our room had mold on the walls. Once we informed hotel staff we were moved to a new room without any hassle. This is beach front property but the beach was very nasty, full of seaweed and trash. No chairs or loungers for beach either. Parking is not the best. You pay for parking which isn’t a problem but there is also an event center and those guest are allowed to use the same parking space which doesn’t leave any room for guest. We had to park around back next to a different hotel and walk to ours. I spoke with management and they understood my concerns. The property is old but functional. I hear they are about to go under renovations soon.
