One of our queen beds is rock hard and my son is unable to sleep in it. It’s the worst bed I’ve ever sat on and I can’t believe we paid 400 for a night for 2 queens just for him to sleep in my bed. Very dirt- hair in shower that was t even cleaned properly. Extremely disappointed

Front desk staff were lovely and allowed early check in. On arrival, person who let us in used odour spray right before we entered. Smell was overwhelming to the point we could not stay. Room was very dated, cupboards in kitchenette falling apart and cob webs above lights. Advertising misleading as it describes "direct beach access" we ith pictures of the beach in listing. Beach in fact 8 minute walk down the road. Very disappointed. We requested refund based on these findings and told by front desk that the manager would be in contact with us. Hours later and we still have not heard back and had to book elsewhere.

Needs TLC.

What was wrong: Window coverings too small &/or broken = no privacy; no smoke detector; no door sill on door to keep bugs and weather out; rotting trim in bathroom; mold/mildew on tub/tile; lack of plug ins &/or functioning plug ins. What was good: Pleasant and polite staff; clean beds, bedding and towels; Nice yard and free access to mini golf across the road.
