    How friendly was the staff?? Haha what staff. There was no one to be found

    Don’t waste your time!!! It’s definitely false advertising and they get you with the refund policy. The property is not even close to how it appears online. There is no receptionists or anyone at the site to assist you with any problems or to even check in (they want you to send a picture of your id through text), there is no suites as they claim, the television was small with no live tv, and the list goes on. Also, reporting to Expedia gets you no where. It’s a lose, lose situation and unfair to the customers that use their platform.

    The pictures of this hotel are outdated and very misleading. Acceptable for one night, but would have been awful to stay here multiple nights. Shower and bathroom were not clean. Tile floor in bedroom was dirty and turned the bottom of my feet black. The room smelled like wet mop and mold. However, AC was cold and the lodge was quiet. Parking was convenient. But extremely overpriced for what it is. I would compare this place to a run down Motel 6.

    It was in a central location, and there was a public access beach just feet away. It had walkability to bars, restaurants, and beach stores. The pool looked nice, and the courtyard area was neat. The bed was pretty comfortable. It needed a good cleaning. It smelled good, but walls, baseboards, and floors needed cleaning. It needed a fresh coat of paint and some updates, like a new shower curtain and lamp shades which looked very old. The lighting was super dim, making it difficult to see. The TV did not work. There was an empty bar and restaurant not in use. Staff were very hard to reach. We had no communication with any staff our whole stay.

    Clean room. The way it looks in the pictures is how it looks in person.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was not as the pictures described. I understand it's a older hotel the room somethings may need updating but the room was not swept. The bathroom tub was not that clean also the pool was dirty. I have stayed here before and it was nothing like how it was back then. Traveling with kids it was not what I wanted then to stay in if it was me and the hubby by ourselves we could of bared it but no will not book again.

    Nothing cancel my stay when I went there when NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. Place is HOT GARBAGE ?️ Outside appearance is garbage. Paint the place clean the windows. Put some flowers out in front of door to welcome quest. Put air fresheners in the lobby area. Paint inside. Hire staff to greet people when they arrive. I walked the property for 7 minutes no one stopped me or ask me anything. Rooms smell like mold . Air freshener s in the room clean windows ? ledge on the rooms outside. Clean and fix middle of hotel yard area . Pick up dirt and trash paint the wood trim and doors. Clean floors and walls in rooms. Staff ( one lady for staff need training) need customer service training.

    From the time they reached out to us at 5:00 pm ( we were stuck in traffic) asking if we were still coming, They gave us the wrong room information in our email to which room they were going to put us in, and once we arrived and we looked at the place, and It was obvious ...it was nothing like the pictures they were posting. After walking around and looking for an employee, The girl that was supposed to be in the office was standing out by the pool talking to people / others there and wasn't there to welcome me ....and once I found the lock boxes and entered the information they gave me in my email I noticed it was the wrong room (not 116 )... The lady was pretty "snippy" at taking my key away from me to go reprogramming it to a different room once (108 ) I went in the room,( photos will be attached to this review. ) and saw everything that was wrong with it, It was so nasty.. Starting with the first view of nasty stained sheets...There were not even any light bulbs in the (2) wall units to have light throughout the room??!! I also asked for a fly swatter She smirked at me... The room had flies throughout it, either coming from the drains or the windows or the doors. When I then told her we would be leaving, and would reach out to bookings.com... as I was trying to return the room keys to her, she locked the front lobby doors and clearly the front door sign said that they were open in the lobby area to accommodate "later check-ins".... But wanted to ignore me or keep me out.... We left and found a different hotel for the evening and contacted "bookings.com" right away. Most of the reviews out there , even on other websites have this hotel as showing OLD pictures of what it may have looked like back in the day.....These are not current!! photos!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL!!
