I've paid less for better comfort. The room is so hot. After being asked if othet rooms available, i was told they were booked up and was given a box fan. , pool is closed (not noted it was) was not able to watch tv due to very bad internet connection. The shower has mold on the ceiling. But i do have to mention, front desk customer service was excellent.

This was our second and FINAL stay at this place. We stayed here a few years ago and were again greeted by chaos in the parking lot, in the form of construction equipment crowding the handicapped parking area. The outside was horrible. I understand Beryl had caused some damage and these issues need to be repaired. However, the parking below the structure was horrible. Screws, nails, tacks, & debris strewn about. "Park at your own risk" signage is an admission of a problem, let alone not very inviting at all. Our 1st visit, we had NO WiFi. Our recent visit, we had NO WiFi! "Could not find IP address" "Could not connect" tells me the routers were not working, or maybe not even real. Good thing we had Hotspots, but i used my data allowance within 4 hours of being in the room for the evening. I just gotta say something about the slimy mold present around the shower soap dispenser. I was able to clean most of it up with hot water and showerhead set to high stream. Took about 10mins. I really didn't want my wife or children exposed to that. Unsanitary conditions. Possible source of illness. Room #210. Smelled of smoke as well. No child safety lock to the balcony door - AGAIN. Upside: Staff is wonderful. They can only do so much with what they are given by management. Breakfast was plentiful and my son loved the pancake machine. Nice to be able to toast your own bread, as well.

Under construction
I didn't give this hotel a high review because of the state of the hotel. I understand they were hit by storm after storm and their building is under construction. In my opinion, this is something that should be revealed when booking. Parking was tight on such a small area to start with because of machinery blocking most of the parking lot and debris. Staff was very accommodating in trying to get me the best, quietest room possible, though.

Great service!
We got kicked out of Guidos because they overbooked or something at 9:30 at night they made us leave. We came here and the front desk clerk was amazing I think his name was Robert. The hotel is being renovated because of the hurricane so the pool was closed but we got to use the pools in the hotels on both sides of us. There was a smell of mold in the hotel. Breakfast was great.

Even after hurricane Beryl, the hotel was open for travelers. The pool was closed, but it was raining the entire trip anyways. We had been camping and had a medical emergency and Robert (front desk) worked some magic and got us into a room early so that we could clean up before going to the doctor appointment. They were incredibly accommodating and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

This is an old property. Nothing wrong with that. It was very expensive in my opinion for what we got. One night $300. Staff were nice. It had a smell of mold. I would recommend a newer hotel than this one due to the age, cleanliness, and smell.
