Staff excellent but we were not told ahead of time or on the expedia site the hotel is under remodeling and facilities within the hotel were closed. Their phone in the room was only partially hooked up and didn’t work. Breakfast is not a breakfast as expected. Only bread, bagels, apples and drinks. Room was clean and comfortable.

We enjoyed our brief stay here and would go again. For a short stay the lack of pool, and access to various ammenities was not a problem. Not sure what the complaints are all about and why this place has a low rating as we did not have any issues or concerns whatsoever.

Totally disappointed!!! Went to the beach all day with little kids. Check in time was 3pm . We got there and the room was not ready. Was told they were overbooked the day before and today. Asked how long till ready . She said it would be about 15 minutes. We said we understand we will go to dinner and come back. Upon return 2 hours later . They stated they don’t have a room. We canceled and headed home 3 1/2 hours away. Woke up the next morning and was still charged. BEWARE!!! While waiting people were coming out saying there was mold in the rooms and dirty. No Pool !!!!!!

There was mold in the bathroon, an unused urine collection cup next to the microwave, the bathroom sink leaked, stains on towels and bedding, the lobby door didnt slide open and had to be pushed in order to be used, staff knocked at 6 am and woke us up to ask about a chair in our room, then again at 9 to see if we were checking out, check out is at 11, no smoke detector in the room, but the hall ones were beeping all night.

Dissatisfied Stay

Our room was surprisingly unclean. Mold grew on the bathroom ceiling from lack of ventilation. Hair covered every part of the toilet,the rest of the room was clearly not dusted in a while and only 1 of our tvs worked. The bedding seemed to be the only clean part of the room. This was our second stay at this hotel for our annual family trip. Last year was a good stay. To come back this year and witness such a deline in quality was unfortunate. The pool, arcade and gym were all closed. The breakfast was 'grab and go' but my kids didn't even want to eat it. Where last time there were more and better options.
