Verified Reviews of Island Hotel of The Space Coast

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Should be condemned."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
The room was filthy upon check in,smelled like mold,dirty clothes from previous guest still in wardrobe. I paid $194 for one night's stay and upon check in I was asked for a $100 refundable deposit which I paid in cash. I went to get ice from the machine and was stopped by a woman standing outside her room. She asked me for $3 and said she was "trying to get high" and stated that she was $3 short.I checked out at about 8am the next morning and after the front desk person checked the room she informed me that she was keeping $50 of my deposit for sheets.I asked what was wrong with the sheets she said there was what looked like blood on them. I never saw any blood and I remade both beds before leaving. So IF there was blood on the sheets it was there before I ever set foot in the room. I have a feeling that as soon as I paid the deposit in cash that if it wasn't good on the sheets I'm sure there would have been some reason as to why I wasn't going to get my deposit back. Worst hotel experience I have ever had.
