First, I didn’t say anything to management. Was there for two nights and just sucked it up. Room was worn. Needed painting, rust on light fixture, just like looked dirty. The elevator hall was filthy. Looks online it had never been cleaned. Place had an old smell to it. Parking garage was nasty. Need pressure washing in elevator. Cigarette butts everywhere. Inside bar closed at 830pm. This place just needs lots of cleaning. It’s old and showing its age bad. Oceanview 2nd floor room had view of the back of the sun deck and pool area. Room 237. View was terrible. Best part. The price because it was off season. Would never stay more than a day or two.

Had to wait almost 3 hours they never called me and said my room was ready. So I went back to the front desk. Put me on the 15th floor. It was steaming hot in there and it was in the 70s. The ac wouldn't turn on, so I had to call and tell them. They switched me to the 10th floor finally after 4 hours of arrival. I was able to take a shower. The bed sucked so I didn't sleep well. But it was a nice place.

I was very excited to spend my honeymoon here at FIRST. We walked in and for the most part it looked nice until we really started looking around there was no tissue, the dining room had multiple tiny ants coming from everywhere. The bed had stains on it and there were crumbs under the bed.After speaking to someone at the front desk they said all they could do was change the room, we went to look into the other room and it looked very outdated nothing like the pictures, rusted refrigerator and I could go on. After they said it was nothing else they could do and no other rooms left and was very rude about it. We were left disappointed and upset the night of our honeymoon. I wouldn’t recommend this resort to anyone.
