24-Oct-2022 Verified Review, stayed from Fri Oct 21 to Sun Oct 23 2022 at a $334.99 average nightly rate. "Given unclean room, sheets are not changed, sand on table and used bar of soap."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
I was given barely cleaned room. I found an earring in the bed from previous room resident, sand on tables and night stand and a used bar of soap in the bathtub. I complained and I was given another room with A/C noise issues, I was told the noise ( draining water noise) only occurs when A/C is on, so I accepted the room since it was late, weather was cool enough no A/C was needed. The noise was constant during the night even when the A/C was off. We couldn't sleep all night. We had a wedding to go to the next day and we were all so tired with bags under our eyes.
Jamal K. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
04-Aug-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Jul 31 to Tue Aug 03 2021 at a $153.90 average nightly rate. "Poor"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
It was a great location three blocks from the beach. The bed very comfortable and it had a nice TV. I also enjoy the balcony. However, I did not have hot water for two nights. Thus, I had to take a cold shower for two nights. The manager didn't apologize and only gave me a $30 discount. Also, the room was dusty and parts of the room were sticky. I probably will not stay there again. I would have given in a much higher score if I had hot water and was compensated more appropriately.
