Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were extremely rude and careless. We booked the waterfront room but we were given the room facing the road as we were told that’s all that was available. This ruined my birthday experience as the staff was being hostile and rude about the situation. What makes things worse is that they took a $100 deposit that was not returned. I called my bank and bank shows the deposit wasn’t returned. The hotel has stopped picking up calls and are refusing to rectify the situation. The room was also filthy and and we woke up to several bites all over our bodies. We now have a bed bug manifestation after our stay and since getting back home. This is the worst hotel experience of my life, I feel robbed of my $100 deposit and I can’t believe that no one has taken care of the situation.

Liked: Room comfort

Just okay

Definitely could use some work. The air conditioner was not working when we arrived. We called down and were told someone would be right there. We called back about 10 mins later requesting a room change and were told to call back later. Maintenance eventually arrived and had to exchange the entire unit. The sink in the bathroom did not drain well so you had to keep turning the water on to flush the toothpaste down the drain. The vanity needed a good dusting at the base as did the door. The balcony was full of cobwebs and needed a good sweep. All in all not really worth the cost for one night. On a positive note, the breakfast was delicious. Plenty of variety and tasty.
