“Terrible customer service and false advertising”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011
3
people found this review helpful

My husband, young son and I stayed here for two nights in January. We arrived about 45 minutes before check in and tried to get our room because our son was sleeping in the car. They said absolutely no early check in! We were surprised by the poor customer service given that our two previous hotels had allowed us to even check in as early as 90 minutes early ! The manager is very unpleasant. I selected the hotel because of its proximity to the beach and because of its advertised "heated, indoor pool." Our son was so excited to go swimming, but when we got there the pool could loosely be described as indoor and was very cold. When we complained they said they only heat it on the weekends and that it would take 20 hours. We arrived on Friday so it should have been heated according to his rules. Well on Saturday afternoon, we finally took our son swimming and it was far from heated. We only lasted about 10 minutes. My son was VERY disappointed. Then one morning my husband went for a run and tried to get some breakfast in the lobby at 7:30am. They told him it would not be ready until 8am, but the food was already sitting out and covered. The manager has no idea what customer service is. I have never written a negative review on trip advisor, but this hotel deserves it. Trust me when I say, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!

“Do noy Stay here!!”

Ed the new manager is awful. They will charge your card when you leave for cleaning your room. $50.00. The front desk people are airheads took an hour just to check in. The room was dirty and the dumptrucks out side your window wake you up very early and all the constuction work they are doing. The pool needs to be cleaned and is not heated. The shower had shower scum all over it. Didn't even want to take a shower in it. Only thing going for it the location, but there are many of other hotels right next to it that are way better. Should of listened to all the other reviews before checking in here.

The guest was charged $50.00 for extra cleaning required because the guest left peanut shells and other mess all over the room and carpet. This is not normal use of room. The check in did not take an hour and would've been quicker if the guest would have provided the correct name under which they reserved with online travel agency. The customer made the reservation under a different name with online travel agency and when our manager checked for the reservation under this name, he did not find the reservation. The guest then gave a different name and we found the reservation. Per online travel agency agreement, we check id of the customer at time of check in. The guest did not have complaint until they were charged for the excessive cleaning.

“NEW MANAGEMENT”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I have been coming here for years due to the proximity to the beach. However the customer service lacked and the rooms were not very well up kept. Upon my last visit I saw a total transformation when I was greeted by the new management and walked into my clean room. Its an older beach motel great for the value and the location cant be beat. If you stayed here once before and said you would never come back….seriously give it one more try and you will end up staying for years to come.

“Good value for the location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

The room is not the ritz, but it was $50-$200 cheaper than anything else this close to the beach! Beach is super close and so is the splash cafe. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Everything worked in the room, but there was a large crack in the ceiling which did not bother me in the least. I am a mom and took my kids out to eat with the money I saved on this room.

“A Satisfied Repeat Guest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

I've been coming here for years. This is an older facility and a typical beach motel. If you're expecting the Fairmont you'll be disappointed. But if you want a clean room at a fair price just steps from the beach this is your place. New owners have done quite a few upgrades over the years. it's a work in progress. Still a bit worn around the edges but adds to it's charm. The staff is friendly and courteous. Anytime I have had a concern (however minor) it has been addressed promptly and courteously. Special kudos to the lady manager and the head housekeeper. They go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable.

I'v m giving this facility a "very good" based on what it is. An older, beach town motel.
