Disappointed
Hotel is overpriced for what it is. Paid for a premium ocean view and could see a sliver of ocean. Requested a second floor room and had a first floor so could not enjoy it at all because we had dogs. Paid ridiculous resort fee, no idea why. We had 2 bath towels for a week and pool towels were almost always gone. Thankfully, we brought our own. We even had to go buy toilet paper. We called front desk for towels and toilet paper, but just rang. Bonfire was lit 2/5 nights there. We did request it to be lit one night and were told they would be a couple of minutes. It was never lit. Property was cleaning up from recent tropical storm, but rate should have reflected that.

I love the chairs around the fire pit behind the motel that atmosphere was wonderful. I will be back again. I do travel frequently. A couple of things that need to be improved trim the hedges along the backside of the motel for the sidewalk. And in my room need to replace the plastic covering on the lights very very dim lighting in the bathrooms. The light in the ceiling was burnt out but the LED lights next to the mirror we’re fine it was just a plastic covering that was yellow really bad from the recent lightbulbs the incandescent burn the plastic turn them yellow.

We have stayed at this property multiple times and it’s always been fantastic. However after this stay we won’t be returning. Upon checking in our room smelled musty. Noticed mildew marks in the ceiling. It was two of us sharing a bed. One night my husband didn’t feel well so I went to lay in the other bed. The bedding was filthy, The air conditioning made a horrible sound that would wake me up. One ice machine didn’t work so the others were often empty. The coffee maker in my room didn’t work. They told me is was most likely operator error. I’ve stayed there before with no issue making coffee. One day the pool was closed. Chemistry was off. I get it that happens. The next day it opened and it was disgusting. Full of dead bugs and dirt. When you went to the office no one would be there. You would call and no one would answer. I killed a cockroach on my wall. The shower makes strange sounds. They built a new restaurant to replace the old bar. It totally kills the view. The Hoiiday Inn we so much loved is definitely a thing of the past.

We booked a full ocean view room, but the room that we received was a partial ocean view. We did ask the staff about this, but were told that it was ocean view. Having been to the property previously, we were aware of which rooms were full view, and that was not the case here, where a separate building blocked our view to the beach. We also had to go to the front desk to get a linen/towel replacement for the second night. I don't know if they do not change out linens automatically anymore if you only stay 2-3 days, or if they had forgotten our room. We called, and were told that towels were on the way, but 45-50 minutes later we had to go get them ourselves. The bed was a king, but not very comfortable. On the positive side, the property is convenient and walkable, and it is pet-friendly. As noted above, we have been this property in the past, and had a good experience. It's possible that this was just a one-off, but we came away very disappointed this trip.

Entire place needs TLC and a deep clean. Pool tiles very dirty and pump not working so there’s a film on the water. Room smells, rug needs shampoo, furniture dirty. Door seal not working properly. Doors need to be slammed shut. Rust on tub, peeling paint, sink coming off sides, AC coming off and filter not changed in long time. Door lock coming off, dirt stains on walls and tub faucet not working properly. One outlet either had mold or appeared to have had a fire before. Location is beautiful and this place really could be amazing. Been here three times over the years and it’s worse each time. Embarrassed to bring family or friends. Please clean up.

This was the best place to stay now it is very run down. Dogs directly below us barked extremely loud and did not allow us to sleep our first night there. We had to change room which took away from our family time. Our room was in need of repairs. The doors were very hard to open and close. The doors looked like they have been kicked in before and repaired poorly. We will never be back

We love staying here for the ocean view from our room. This was our fourth time staying and the first time we paid for an "ocean view" room with no view of the ocean (due to trees/bushes directly in front of our room). The new restaurant on property is great as well.

Our room smelled like mildew and urine. When we got in we were tired so i decided to make a cup of coffee onky to find a roach in the water reservoir Hubby went to front desk and they replaced it right away. I didn't sleep well at all because i felt nauseous. I got up qent to front desk and asked for a room change which they approved without hesitation. We moved a few rooms down and the room smelled better and had a better layout. When we were packing up last night, i noticed that i forgot our beach chairs. Went to front desk and she left a note for housekeeping since she couldn't get in their storage room. I think front desk personal should be allowed for guest looking for lost items. I checked with them before i checked out and she was going to reach out to the house keeping manger. We checked out but they didn't find our chairs. We looked through our old room curtains and the room had been cleaned by housekeeping so im saying whoever cleaned our room TOOK OUR CHAIRS!! We could've been A..hole's about it and asked the manager who was assigned to clean room 178 on 07/09. At the end of the day YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

For as much as we paid for the hotel, it would have been better spent at a nicer place considering we felt like our beach view was somewhat of a partial beach view and the room overall was not as nice compared to what we used to staying in. However, you do pay for the location and it was on the island and “on the beach”, so there’s that
