Very Disappointing. Updates must be made. I almost hurt myself trying to push the door to my room open. Rust was everywhere. They sewage was coming from somewhere at the front door of checkin. This property was not appealing at all. This hotel was a last result.

Entire building was falling apart and old. Room smelled like mildew. Bathroom was dirty rust around pipes. Toilet disgusting piss around the bottom of toilet. Bath/shower was falling apart. Linens on bed had stains. No towels were provided. Had to buy Lysol, bed sheets and towels. AC unit barely worked. Door to room was malfunctioning. Had to slam to close and ram it to open. There were obvious criminal activity going on hotel grounds. NOTHING was clean!!! Exterior or interior. IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD.

Reserved the Omond Beach Suite... pics here do not reflect what we experienced. Upon arrival I noticed beat up legs on furrniture, refrigerator and microwave had visible rust. I was disappointed, yet thought I could deal with it. Minutes after our arrival, I noticed footprints on the floor. Upon closer inspection, realized the floor hadn't been mopped. Notified the front desk. They didn't have any house keeping on staff at that hour yet offered to send a maintenance guy to handle things. Went to dinner and came back... could tell the maintenance guy did run a mop over things, yet decided it needed another go. Decided to unpack and go to bed and noticed there were zero hangers in the room, yet the bed was clean and comfortable. The following morning I let the front desk know house keeping was needed and also needed hangers. After returning from breakfast, there were hangers on the outside doorknob. They were the wooden kind, yet the metal hooks were covered in rust. The room had been mopped again, still not totally clean... not certain the last time the floor had received a thorough mopping. My husband grabbed a bath towel and ended up mopping the floor himself. The outdoor furniture was pretty worn and dated... the view was gorgeous. Then later I noticed more white dust in the room... dropping off the curtains? Then it I realized it was some sort of peeling plaster or paint coming off the walls and ceiling. Checked out early and moved to a different hotel.

Let me start by saying the staff was wonderful! They were super friendly and super helpful. The place itself is very dingy and outdated. The elevator broke down at least twice during our stay. The room was spacious, but the sheets were dirty and the bathroom was sketchy. The view was beautiful and breathtaking. The tub had weird yellow tiles here and there and the drain was gaping and gross. The area surrounding the hotel is somewhat run down. Overall, it was just ok. I wouldn’t stay there again though.

The hotel was so beyond outdated. The smell of the carpet was intense and musky. The bathroom had suspisious stains on the lower walls, around the toilet. The shower was not clean and the shower curtain had hairs alround. two pillows had large yellow ring stains. Quite frankly a motel would probably be cleaner.

It is not what it looks like in the pictures. There is no heated pool as the description says. And when i asked about it the lady in the office said well expedia lies!!! The pool was dirty and the room smelled like moldy. I left the same night because i couldn't let my kids sleep in that smell. And when i called expedia to try to get a partial refund, the hotel declined it.
