We have stayed at this property in the past. Unfortunately they have gone down hill. The room has threadbare curtains, smashed bugs in 2 walls, hair in shower and fixtures on sink in disrepair. Air conditioner old and too loud to have on at night. Staff not pleasant, more robotic with no interest.

Staff was helpful, but they can only do so much with a property that’s 50 years old and, I’m told, slated for a complete tear down before December. (Phones don’t work; Ac available in only one room in our suite, just a few odd utensils and plates included with the “full kitchen,” etc). Location however is great. Very convenient to be at the marina for the whale excursion and several dining options, all walking distance.

Pluses: The staff: Christine at the front desk was wonderful. She helped with a room issue (the blackout curtains would not close) and immediately sent a professional young handyman (I can't remember his name) to fix it. Without her consideration, we would have been awakened at 6 AM each morning by the sun. She also issued a small credit towards parking without us even asking for it. She understands customer service. We would stay at the hotel again based on this alone. The Jacuzzi: Heated well The free breakfast: Good number of hot and cold choices Minuses: The wall unit AC: So loud it could wake the dead! The pool: Far too cold for actual swimming. We were at the hotel for two hot days and only saw 2 children in it. Another guest said she was told the pool was heated to 81 degrees, but there was simply no way that was the case. The pool was probably the biggest disappointment of our stay as we always book hotels based on having both a swimmable pool and a jacuzzi once we select a location. *Overall, this was a pleasant stay due to the staff and the excellent location. There were beaches in walking distance, and we were just a few blocks from the Ocean Institute, where we got information on the tide levels for the day and then did the beach trek to Pirate's Cove.

I worked in Hotel Industry for 7 yrs. No money is going back into this hotel. Front door and back door of room would not close properly. Plenty of parking around bld, but most was closed off making parking difficult with a $15/nightly fee.. Bathroom was filthy, bed was filthy with hair and dirty sheets, rug edge was filthy, and under beds was filthy. Not a good experience. Never again

Unhappy

Well to start, we arrived 10 minutes to 4. Check in is at 4 or after. Our room was not ready until 4:58. I don’t think we have ever checked into a hotel that late. They are usually ready much before hand. Wasn’t ideal because we have an adult special needs son who has trouble waiting, that’s why we thought for sure coming at 10 of 4 would work out well. The hotel is very outdated and on pretty poor condition. I know they told us it is being torn down at the end of the year but they should warn people. The room air conditioner was so loud and we couldn’t adjust it properly so our son did not sleep until nearly 4 AM. Needless to say, we forwent our second night and left. Since I bought the room on Hotels.com they could not reimburse me for any of it.
