““Needs work but Management is right on top of things!””
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

This hotel is reasonably priced but needs work on the website and in the rooms..you need to verify the type of room you want ahead of time and in which building as there is an additional charge for both a single bed and in another building which is right on the water. We had a difficult stay but the manager took our email and responded very quickly with a gracious offer to come back at their expense for a night! While things need improving i'd return just for the customer service aspect!!! We would return knowing the things we know now!!

“Don't do it!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I would have given a review rating of a negative value if possible. I had read the reviews on this hotel and knew it was not rated well but my daughter and I wanted to stay in a specific location and on the beach. The price wasn't bad ($84) a night for being on the beach and during Spring break HOWEVER fees and taxes added another $27 a night to the bill. The staff would NOT give me an itemized bill after several requests and my credit card was charged the first night for the entire stay. There were holes in the walls, the maids would not give us towels (they didn't have any-I had to buy bath towels), a plastic cup had been placed in a hole in the wall as a door stopper, the baseboard was pulling away from the wall, a light fixture was hanging by one wire in the hallway, stains on the carpet and bedspread, only one elevator worked and was extremely slow. If we had not arrived at 1:30am and I had the opportunity to look for other accommodations I would have moved to a different hotel.

“Don´t go to this disgusting hotel!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2011

person found this review helpful

Please choose another hotel if you do not want to live in a totally disgusting hotel.
I had to change rooms 5 times before I got a room that went to sleep in and then the bathtub half filled with a green mess that smelled of chlorine.
After I complained to management, I got another room at one of their at the Hotel who was also very poorly maintained but had a fantastic beachfront location.
The complainant paid off this time so they try anyway.
