Hello,

I am writing to formally report a serious cleanliness and sanitation issue with my recent hotel stay booked through Expedia.

I stayed in the room from Friday to Sunday (Easter weekend), and upon checking the room, I discovered a used tampon left behind the microwave. In addition, the area under the beds was visibly dirty and had clearly not been properly cleaned prior to my arrival.

This is extremely concerning, as it indicates that the room was not properly sanitized between guests. This created an uncomfortable and unacceptable environment during my stay, especially considering basic cleanliness standards expected from a hotel listed on your platform.

I have photo evidence of the condition of the room, which I can provide upon request.

I would like this matter to be taken seriously and respectfully request a refund or appropriate compensation for this experience. I also recommend that this property be reviewed to ensure proper cleaning protocols are being followed moving forward.

Please let me know the next steps and how this will be resolved.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

We were disappointed with our stay. Upon arrival, there was a puddle on the floor, of our room which wasn’t a great first impression. The room also had some maintenance and cleanliness issues that should have been addressed before our check-in.
Oh! I’m parking is offsite, not secure and it felt like our car could be broken into it any moment. And there’s a tow truck driver just sitting, waiting for you to forget to put your door tag up.

The flip lock on the door was broken (part of it was missing), so it couldn’t be used for security. The balcony door didn’t have any blackout covering, which made privacy and light control impossible, although the front desk did provide a blanket as a temporary fix.

Some of the furniture showed significant wear, including deep scratches, and the desk chair was noticeably stained. Additionally, each queen bed only had two pillows, which may not be enough for most people.

Overall, the room felt like it needed better upkeep and attention to detail.

Tried several times to get a remote or tv to work and in the 3 days nothing and noone at front desk cared or seemed to make any attempts to fix it. The floor of the balcony was a safety hazard the tiles were peeled off and some were just left here and there loose. The sofa bed had springs you could feel across the whole thing and was so thin I had to stash the couch cushions within the fitted sheet so my son could get a little sleep.

The view stunning.. the room itself is OK better than the actual hotel. Elevator is a little rough… We were on the second floor so we took the stairs. it was kind of tricky at checkout because there is one elevator and it’s only big enough for one luggage rack. The parking is offsite, but it’s very walkable no issue. I would stay there again for a short trip to the beach.

This hotel is older which is fine and for the price I didn’t expect it to be fancy but I do expect basic things to work, not break or be available and if it does happen to have someone available to fix it or have a solution in place not be told by staff that’s not my job you have to wait until the maintenance comes in at 8:00 we only have one person. Our toilet broke luckily I could fix that it was just the chain to flush it, our shower rod was broke and would not stay up so no shower curtain I needed a shower we had to be somewhere could not wait for maintenance, no blankets asked for some was told no access to housekeeping but also they don’t have any not sure what happened to them. One young girl who was working the evening shift was amazing she was super sweet and tried her best found us one blanket. The night lady was rude and disrespectful. After her telling me she don’t get paid to do xy and z I suggested taking a rod out of another room she didn’t want too but I insisted she finally did but I had to change it out myself and then she told me I had to bring the old one back down to her at the desk. Overall the place was not very clean and run down which for the price right on the beach I could of dealt with. But no excuse for poor customer service or not being able to address basic functions of the room.

Room was clean, outdated décor. Bathroom was clean need to put plastic liner in shower. The floor gets wet and slippery when showering. The bed was comfy. Sheets were nice and clean and white. Had a pool view room which doesn’t have an outside balcony. The hallways smell terrible like weed. No coffee pot in the room. The pool is shaded all day so it’s freezing cold. Management is super friendly. Front desk depends on who is there. Housekeeping is not friendly at all! Overall not terrible. I would stay again.

I would not recommend this property day to anyone to stay at. The rooms are outdated, the service from the staff was limited, our rooms were not clean or the dirty towels taken away for three days very limited parking. The pool is old and outdated. The staff, although some were helpful, there were others who were not so helpful. I think whoever owns this franchise needs to really update a lot of the rooms and pretty much everything in the hotel. We did get a refund because our rooms were not clean for three days and we had limited service from the staff. I would never stay at this hotel again. Thank you.

Awful Experience

We were kicked out of the hotel for complaining after the front desk gave us a room key to a room occupied by 4 girls. Thank goodness they weren't in there when we got into the room. I complained how unsafe that was and used some words and someone standing at the front desk ( who encouraged me to complain because I spoke to him first) called the POLICE and made us leave. It is unreal I am a Silver member with Hotels.com and travel all the time and have never had this type of experience. I would like a refund. Obviously you are used to a poor level of cliental if your solution was to call the police. Not a hotel I want to be a guest at.

Do not stay here! I'm typically not the type of person who leaves bad reviews but this is a necessity.

This hotel was dirty, dingy and reeked of weed. There is only one elevator for 7 floors. Our room didnt have any of the \"amenities\" listed on the advertisement. The beds were broken and creeked/cracked every time you touched them. While looking for bugs (as I do at every hotel), we found used Q-Tips between the mattress and box spring. The shower didn't work on the first day. The halls are so narrow that you can't pass in them. And the parking lot had the smallest spaces known to mankind. Not to forget the overflowing dumpster that smelled of urine or the multiple drug deals that we witnessed. When we alerted the front desk of the issues, we received an \"ok\" and that was it. They didn't even ask how our stay was, but looking back, its probably because they knew it was going to be awful.

This \"resort\" is nothing like the pictures or description and should be avoided at all costs!
