Decent night stay

Nice hotel for one night, bar service was terrible, pool bar wasn’t even open, rooms were humid and musty smelling, beds were very firm if that’s what you’re into great. Hotel is over all dated and worn from the salt water. Needs some TLC

Crazy night

Last night there, electricity went out at 10 pm and was out for about an hour- which apparently is a regular occurrence. Once restored- fire alarm went off and had to evacuate. Very little info or guidance from staff.

Moody is a mood

Tower 1 - FLEAS in the room! Yes FLEAS - Tower 1 6th floor. Had to beg to be moved to another room. Tip: PETS and PET LOVERS should have designated rooms away from the general public. Tower 1 - OVER PRICED Tower 1 - Too far from parking TOTAL waste of time and money. REFUND me my money …please. The only competent compassionate hotel staff are Roshonda and Dawn.
