Do your own negotiations with hotels

Originally booked (Hotels. Com) for Valentines weekend with weekend rates. On the day of travel realized we were bumped to Tuesday night (obviously over booked) and NOWAY to communicate to Hotels.com, except the near worthless "virtual chat" (they got your money). Did get an Email about paying 10 bucks for insurance the next day but couldn't call anyone to see what that all pertained(thinking it maybe a SCAM too). Ended up able to go Tuesday anyway, at the expensive weekend rates, and tried to make the best of the rear penetration given by hotels.com . My fiancé works the frauds dept. at a large financial institution, she said this practice where you can't communicate effectively with the third-party "money taker" is an extremely common call she gets. *Do your own negotiations with the hotel directly, while not perfect, at least you cut the third-party out of it, otherwise the hotel(that picks up the phone) will tell you you'll have to go through the booking company anyway if you went that route. All in all the hotel was on the edge of dated, fairly dirty, unvacuumed in hall areas the facilities seemed nice enough for off season and being a non-resort hotel, the check-in staff we had at check-in seemed to be of an average C- grade of animatron greeters, displaying dry and very little helpfulness skills in describing amenities. Our expensive room gulf view we had was nice, the lazy river and indoor pool look as it should, lots of road work out front expect traffic and delays.

Overpriced!! & Bad Experience!

We stayed here for our anniversary. The only good thing was the awesome view. Check in took forever. The gentleman checking me allowed a lady to cut in line in front of me, while I was on crutches. The lady complained of not having a room with a view, but after much discussion, she couldn’t prove she even booked a room with a view. The cabinet to refrigerator door was broken. The refrigerator itself didn’t work. The TV didn’t work. Both these issues were fixed but during a time we wanted to get ready to eat. We ate at the restaurant. DO NOT eat there. They had a VERY OVERPRICED Valentine’s meal that was not great. They did give us one free dessert & 2 small glasses of champagne for our anniversary. After we spent money on the bad meal. Then if they don’t charge enough for the room, they charge for breakfast. We paid the extra $5 a person for the breakfast when I booked. I’ve had many many better free breakfast at motels that cost a third of what this motel cost. DON’T pay the $16 for the breakfast they want to charge you. It wasn’t even worth the $5 we paid.

The view from our balcony was gorgeous! The issues I had with the stay…. The toilet was visibly dirty , the shower head was hanging out the wall, the hot water was like warm at best and the breakfast was really nothing more than a continental breakfast. Breakfast was 16 and adult and 9 a child. There was also a charge to park of 17 a day with taxes. Due to the hot water issue I was refunded for the parking . The lady who checked us out was super sweet but the rest of the front desk staff came off as rude, esp when I reported the hot water issue. A maintenance person came to my room and told me it was normal ( in very broken English). I was torn between this hotel and an Air BNB and in the future I will not stay here.

Great staff, broken hotel

When we got there, the room was warm so I turned on the ac. We went to the pool and played for a couple of hours. When we got back the room was still warm and I called the front desk. They said they would send someone but no one ever came. We slept in a hot room all night. There was also no warm water for our showers or baths. When I called the front desk they told me to run it for 10 minutes and they would send someone up. They did indeed send someone up, but he said that my room would continue to have barely warm water. When I asked the next morning, they had no knowledge of what was going on. The hotel staff were friendly and very nice and I understand things break. They comped us a night of our room which I appreciated and they gave us free meals and I would go back because the staff was very friendly however room 555 was not a lucky room.

I had a romantic valentines weekend planned, Pebble was beyond amazing and super helpful in each and every aspect of our stay. She helped facilitate a bouquet of roses being delivered as a surprise, having champagne and chocolate covered strawberries being delivered as well. She made the stay amazing and most definitely eased my stress and made the proposal go as easy as could be. She could easily be the mvp of my weekend :). Much thanks to you Pebble!!

We liked the location and pool with lazy river. But staff were not friendly or professional at check-in. Didn't give us any information about the property I had to ask everything. Service at breakfast also not that great. There were never spoons available, sausages over cooked, no oats available very little options. Buffet is not worth the price.

Good experience and very convenient

Nice hotel with a nice lazy river type pool. The biggest perk to staying here is the omelet at the onsite restaurant and the close proximity to the beach. The beds were alright, but a little too firm for my taste. I felt it was a little overkill to have to pay for parking after paying a condo equivalent rent per night. This is the first time we have chosen a hotel over a condo, and for a short stay it worked out perfectly.

Front desk staff/concierge was incredibly kind and helpful during our entire stay. We were there during the snowstorm and with no other food options open, the bartender served food and drinks to probably everyone staying that evening very quickly and with a smile on her face even though she was by herself. We got our food quickly and she was very attentive and friendly for having a packed bar. As far as the property you can’t beat the view. Hot tub and pool were heated and pleasant. Lobby and common areas as well as our room were very clean! The only room for improvement would be the bathroom in our particular room. The toilet seemed to run once in awhile which my husband fixed easily, and the shower water was warm but didn’t get as hot as we would have liked. Other than that everything was great!!
