This property was disappointing. You can expect $12 a day parking. No free breakfast and the menu is rather pricey. Example: $13 for a breakfast sandwich. My room's screen door for the patio was off its hinges. The door you shut for restroom privacy needed to be shaved because it would get stuck. You'd have to grab the top of the door and pull down hard so it would open for you. The beds were very soft which would hurt our backs. Staff was friendly so that was positive. I'd try holiday inn next door next time to see if it fairs any better.

Staff was wonderful, but our room had a horrible smell (like mildew) and the bathroom was decently clean but showers were really old and kinda gross looking. Location was convenient for our island packers cruise and we were there for less than 12 hours so it was bearable but I wouldn’t want to spend multiple nights here, especially because they charge for parking daily. Didn’t get to try out their pool or food so I can’t comment on that. Bed was comfy though so it’s fine if you’re just there to sleep and wake up early for a cruise like us.

Exterior of Hotel looks dated. The interior of the rooms had a lot of rust on the mirror frames, door hinges and large sliding glass window/door was filthy. The carpet was very worn. I understand it’s near the ocean, but we have stayed at many hotels near an ocean and they were well kept up.

Hotel was completely inaccessible. Flooded throughout and unable to enter. We were told to find emergency vehicles and ask them for help. I asked for a refund to which they said no; the hotel was accessible (if you asked an emergency vehicle for help) um, hello???

I checked in about 10:00 pm. The room was extremely cold. The heat/AC unit is on a wall in a dark corner of the room. I had to sit on the floor in front of it and push random unlabeled buttons in order to figure out how to set the temperature so that it would start heating the room. The unit was very loud and the room was so cold that it took several hours of listening to its grinding noise before the room reached a comfortable temperature and it subsided to coming on and grinding only periodically. The lighting was the worst I have ever seen in a hotel--one tiny, dim lamp on the desk and two dim lights between the beds. The lighting in the bathroom and dressing room were fine. The toilet handle stuck so the toilet continued to run if you forgot to give it an extra wiggle when you flushed it. Only one coffee cup was provided to use with the coffee maker and it was so oversized that you couldn't get it out from under the coffee maker without spilling coffee. The artwork on the wall looks like they picked it up at the tail end of a yard sale. That's a minor thing but it just added to the irritations of the rest of the room. The staff was friendly. Check-in and check-out was fast and efficient. That doesn't make up for everything else, though. Another guest told me her room had all the same problems. It was a pretty shabby experience for a hotel with the Sheraton name on it. I expected better.

The only saving grace of the place is the spoiler staff. The hotel is nothing like the posted pictures. The “hotel” is run-down with old carpeting and each room with a very musky smell. The tap water smells of sulfur and there is mold and mildew on the faucets and shower.

The bed was comfortable and provided a restful night’s sleep. The room was generally clean.

The property does appear to have some age, with finishes that are a bit worn and a few spots in the bathroom that could use extra care.

While it offered the basics for an overnight stay, a few updates could help give it a more inviting, hotel-like atmosphere for the price that we paid.

I don't want the public to see this but when you pay a lot of money for your room you would expect to walk in to a clean room and not one that's bed is messy with pillows without cases on half the pillows and a pair of wet woman's underwear in the closet that remained there for the two days and nights we spent in the room. Location and staff great but the room was slightly underwhelming.

One thing I would change is give customers a free breakfast. $20 bucks a person is outrageous. And give customers coffee CREAMER why only milk and oatmilk?? And for God's sake put in your own laundry machines for customers to use so they don't have to walk forever to the hotel next store to do their laundry. Come on now!

Not a safe neighborhood. We had two $9,000 bike stolen from a cable locked bike rack…..in their parking lot. Not sure if they have any security. It is a very open lot in their front yard. I was surprised they charged us $25 to park. Insult to injury. They also need new mattresses.

I stayed at this hotel as part of a wedding group. At check in I was not provided w/info re: the “resort”amenities or where to park. I guessed the info would be in the room. I also was not told a deposit would be added to my CC when I checked in. My room also had zero info re dining, the gym, tennis courts, map, restaurant info etc. Still don’t know if they offer room service. Looked at the guide on the tv: no info there either except for affiliated hotels. Room was basic, carpet not so clean. There was nicer shampoo & conditioner provided in the bathroom and hand soap & hand lotion @ the sink. I came back from the wedding and there was a group of loud kids in the room next door. Their room door did not have the mechanism that makes it close slowly instead of slamming shut. There were about 6 kids going in and out almost constantly and slamming the door loudly. At one point they were tackling each other outside and slammed loudly into my hotel room door 2-3x. They were so loud I could hear what they were saying i.e “I’m going back to the liquor store what do you want, no text it don’t scream it at me OMG.” I dont normally make a complaint but I did finally call the front desk. 30 min later no change. I call again. I’m told i’m mistaken it’s the bride and groom’s room. I said No, it’s not I’m BFF w/mother of bride, they’re on other floor. Front desk continues gaslighting me til almost 1:30 am b4 they finally check in person. Unacceptable to wait 3 hrs to respond to complaint
