Read the fine print...
The hotel is under some repairs due to hurricanes. My room was in good shape and comfortable. After check out I was charged $25 plus tax ($26.88) for Self Parking in their garage for one single night. On the website it states Parking Available and Self Parking Available but it does not state a fee upfront. You need to dig in and click on terms and conditions to see the parking fees. I like to have things upfront as I do not like surprises. The front desk at check in took my credit card for any incidentals and did not mention that I would be charged for parking when he provided me with the parking pass. Not impressed!
I made a reservation for a King room and travelled with 4 other couples that did the same. While checking in each couple was told king size beds were not available. When I interjected that I would understand if 1 or 2 couples were bumped I was certain they knowingly booked king size rooms without proper inventory The staff went out of their way to blame Expedia stating the booking interface had never worked. When I explained that I actually called the hotel and was told to cancel my original reservation, which was on sale, and rebook at a higher rate to ensure I got a king I did so with Expedia.
I mentioned this and was told Expedia would have to give me a refund for the lesser room.
Mon we each awoke to drilling at 8:00 am. Thinking this might have been an emergency repair the floor above mine .I called Tues complaining about the jarring sounds so early in AM. I mentioned the fact that 8:00 am was early for construction to start work on the floor above an occupied floor suggesting 10:00 would be reasonable. I was told the hour was agreed upon by the General Manager and the construction company no remedy was offered and the call was ended
I received a call Tuesday after my second call regarding the noise telling me a room on another floor was available. Unfortunately there was 1 night left, I would be leaving at 6:00 am Wednesday and I’m an unpacker
Horrible customer service
We reserved a room with a king size bed and we were given a room with 2 double beds.
We were not informed of construction at the hotel and were woken up early every day with hammering and jack hammering in the floor directly above us.

For the money, stay elsewhere. Food is expensive in the one restaurant and its just ok. Our room way supposed to be Bay view, definitely was not with our tiny corner window. We tried to change rooms, they told us we could not because they were completely booked. We paid $800 for 2 nights in a mediocre hotel with no pool and a tiny beach area.
i did not like that i was told that i would be charged $100 for incidentals yet i was charged more than that. also the fact that the hotel does not own the parking is ridiculous. i have to pay for parking as well a daily fee, then i will not stay here again. parking should be free to guests staying
