Good location on beach.

Good beach location. Very disappointed to be informed pool was closed a week prior to arrival, since main factor in place to stay on beach, was to have a pool. difficult to find another location for good rate I booked at. Lounge chairs to rent, should be in the resort service fee. Rooms was outdated. Construction taking place on the floor. Nice to have garage parking attached, of course for a fee. Had to get ice from the bar, Inconvenient. Would stay at different location next time. Not worth the fees

Booked room months in advance. Website said check-in was for 4 o’clock. I got there about 9 PM upon arrival. I couldn’t check in because the person at the front was on break. I left returned back checked in to find my room hadn’t been cleaned or beds hadn’t been made no towels, washcloths or anything.

Upon arrival, I found that the room was not as expected, and advertised. The room was dingy, completely outdated, and old. The rugs were worn, the telephone did not work and could not even sit straight on the table, the iron was damaged, cable wires were visibly running outside the wall, the kitchen drawers were stained, bed skirts not ironed, and when you used the main room electrical outlet, there were sparks. That is just the beginning. The most egregious area was the bathroom. Black mold was visible on the shower head and other areas such as outlet and the blow-dryer cables and plug (which by the way was broken). The cabinet was old, dirty and stained, one of the ceiling tiles was out of place, and the mirror was stained and scratched. I have included pictures. I arrived on Monday. By Tuesday I had already noted to the front desk of some of the issues either in person or by phone (the phone only worked one way…that is…I could phone but could not hear anyone when I phoned. They phoned me back and then I could hear.) I had to do business on Tuesday, but by Wednesday I went to the front desk (after having complained to Expedia.com) and requested that they change my room. They did so immediately. I was elated when moved to another room, which met all my expectations. Except for one thing…..the remodeling happening all around me. The constant noise of drills, jackhammers, electric saws was unbearable.

The hotel is right off the beach which is great. The rooms are about but could use more cable stations and the room seems to be a bit outdated. Room service was very accommodating. Check-in was very easy.

The halls on about each floor were not cleaned up after the contractors left dirt and sheet rock dust on the hall carpets that they should have vacuumed clean. Also lots of unit door frames chiped due to guest suite cases hitting the door frames. Thats an easy fix if had a touch up painter going around doing it. Overall all was good.
