I didn't not like that check in was @ 4:00 pm and we had to wait until 4:45 before checking in. No reason was given and there were several people in front of us also waiting.

Stayed here for a last minute vacation for my boyfriend and I. We booked a double queen room and were not too thrilled with the cleanliness of the room. You can definitely tell the rooms are not thoroughly cleaned in between stays. Very dusty like things haven’t been wiped, the remote was covered in crumbs and dust. The fridge and cabinets were nasty. Almost every single piece of linen we got whether it was our bedding, pillow case, bath towel, etc.. had hair on it… short hairs, long hairs. Not very pleasant to have to pick all of them off your “clean” towels or bedding. The shower curtain is linen and would stick to you while your showering which was not pleasant having a dirty, wet shower curtain touching you. Our AC unit was leaking into our balcony, leaving a nasty green wet puddle outside. The entrance and elevators were also pretty gross. House keeping is on an ask before 11am basis as well. Overall not the worst we have experienced but also not the greatest. You get what you pay for.

Check in was listed at 4pm but our room was not ready untill 6:15pm. With the extra time we thought our room would be clean. There was sand all over the floor ( given this is the beach so ill relax on that point a bit ) and the shower was nasty and scum over the handle. The vent was also very dusty.

The property is not well maintained - very dirty. The rooms are tiny. The shower in the room is snug with a shower curtain blowing into you while you try to get clean. The pool doesn’t get cleaned often enough. There is music by the pool which is very loud and goes until 9 or later every night. It is easily heard in rooms. The staff were friendly and helped put up umbrellas and chairs but that was the only positive. There charged over $20/day for parking which wasn’t mentioned in the description. Overall very disappointed.

Enjoyed our stay at crystal coast hotel. The hotel was really nice, quiet, and all staff were friendly and helpful with any of our needs. Loved the pool and hot tub and views if the ocean were amazing. We will definitely choose this hotel for future stays.
