No beach Access For Plus Roaches is in the Room
There not honest at all. There is no access to the beach for whatever reason. When you get to the hotel they make you sign an agreement that you can’t complain so you have no choice to agree because you already paid for the hotel and it’s non-refundable. It smells so bad roaches where everywhere in the room we stay. I did tell the admin about the roaches she just told me it’s normal in Florida. I would suggest to deep clean all the room or hire a pest control for the safety of the guest. I would encourage them to update the website and let the customer know that there is no beach access at the moment until it’s available. I would suggest that the room smells can cause allergies to people. So, unhappy with my stay even we are booked for two nights we did not stay for health purposes reason.

Things I liked was the comfort of the bed and pillows and I loved the view. Didn’t like that the spa tub didn’t work, the room was very rusty and out dated with chipping, discolor, and rusting. Towels and washcloths were limited.

At evening our room smelled of marijuana. We called the front desk and they sent up a security guard, who could not believe how strong it was. They ultimately did nothing about the smell. At 4:20 in the morning the people in the neighboring room were banging on the door asking if their pizza had been delivered to our room. Needless to say we checked out the next morning cutting our trip two days short.

I would highly recommend NOT staying at this hotel. There were several things wrong, some we could get past and some we could not. First off the door to room 406 did not work properly. You had to pull it to you for the key to unlock it. Then it had to be slammed shut. The top lock inside the door was broken. The head board that was suppose to be attached to the wall was crooked and falling off, we had to take it off so it wouldn’t fall on us. The room constantly smelled of weed. During the middle of the night I was greeted by the biggest cockroach I have honestly ever seen in my life. I tried the kill it but it ran under the stove. It later visited my husband in the bathroom where he was able to kill it. There is no beach access because they are remodeling the sea wall which is fine but there was large equipment all over the pool/patio area. Thankfully we only stayed 1 night, left out early that morning, and the door would not shut at all by that point.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was extremely disappointed with the condition of the room. It was not clean at all – there was visible dirt in several areas, and the bathroom was especially bad. It hadn't been cleaned properly, with grime around the sink and shower, and there were exposed cables in the room, which felt unsafe and unprofessional. This was not the standard I expected.

Noisy neighbors
New furniture and carpet was a plus. The staff was extremely kind and friendly. The ocean and pool view with balcony was wonderful. The walls and doors were thin, and the neighbors were noisy. It was a bargain price but you pay for it with sleepless nights.

While it was ok at the best it was way overpriced on the weekends. The doors were unsafe. We had to call and have maintenance come to open and close the doors. One day arrived back and the door was wide open. No hot breakfast. No milk for the cereal 2 days. No bananas 2 days No wash clothes the first day. No housekeeping except to bring clean towels. I paid the deposit for all 4 rooms. I still have not received the deposits credited to my credit card. They credited it to the other three rooms when paying on arrival. The billing was so confusing and I am still waiting for them to reimburse my credit card. We were not told we would have to pay a $50 security deposit and it would be credited at the end of our stay. Still no credits on credit cards. People were living there. It was noisy and had to call front desk 3 times for people fighting. One room was rented out to young adults partying. No satisfied at all.
