“IT'S A SHAME!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I've been staying at this hotel since the 70's. This management company intends to tear down the hotel and build a multi-story condo bldg. and hasn't done any repairs to the property, and trying to get clean sheets and towels and your room cleaned is like pulling teeth. Management will continue to rape this property until they sell enough condos to justify tearing it down. You might as well find a new property now!

Room Tip: The only good thing about this hotel is the beach and the sunsets!

“Total Ripoff,Rude Staff & disgusting room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

My husband and I just completed a 3 week driving tour of Florida. We used Roomsaver coupons the entire time and can say without hesitation that this motel was by far the worst one we stayed in. Unfortunately, it was about 7pm when we arrived and felt too tired to continue driving and keep searching. The woman at the front desk (wish I would've gotten her name, but about 64 years old, a transplant from Michigan/Wisconsin area, short blond hair) was extremely rude to us. Despite the hotel being almost deserted, she gave us a crappy room on the ground floor, beside the stair well, which blocked the water view. The setting is so lovely, right on the ocean, but it seems the owners are too cheap to give it a major facelift. The room had no microwave or tea kettle, just a refridgerator. They only offered weak coffee in the morning, no food, fruit, etc. EVERYTHING was old, the bedding, curtains, cheap furniture, carpet smelled disgusting and musty. The room was so small, we could barely fit our suitcases in. I felt dirty even being in there, it was untidy, in desperate need of a paint and overhaul, a sad place. You cannot beat the beach location, but it is in a sad state of disrepair and neglect. I am writing this so people from overseas will not pay good money and be misled when they arrive!

“A Great Place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We have stayed there twice now and its a great place to stay for the price and location. Its right on the beach and close by for things to do.The beach is so nice and clean and also very white. The last time we stayed we had alittle trouble with the ceiling leaking but, it didn't stop us from having a good time. Wehope to come back down again this Sept. to stay again. It's a nice place to stay compared to what others say. Robert Hudson Greenwood, Ind.

“Wish I could give it "no stars".”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

Walked into this hotel and the stench of urine was over-whelming. I was almost distracted by the amazing view until I had to use the restroom. The toilet seat was only held on by one bolt. Not a very safe setup. My husband complained and they switched our room. The next room was no better that the first one. We asked for a refund and the receptionist's response was "Well why didn't you just say so?" Absolutely ridiculous.

Room Tip: Save yourself a headache and book elsewhere.
