Don’t even know where to start. Don’t let them put you on the 6th floor. Hallway carpets Filthy and musty. Looks like people have split stuff or thrown up all over the carpet, in hallways. The room was in need of serious repair. Bathroom faucet in shower falling off, along with the shower head, exhaust fan non functional, so room got real humid after anyone took a shower. The room itself, floor had a floorboard was literally off and all scratched up. Walls noticeably patched up. The sliding door to patio, locking mechanism totally broke and someone attempted to use some sloppy fix job, that didn’t work btw, and when you opened it, you could get it to shut completely on the top again, without having to Jerry rig it shut again. Bedding had a smell curious if it had even been changed. Very bad experience and would not ever recommend this place. What I found interesting, was we stayed there with 2 other families, which got the 2nd floor, without any issues. Why would you put anyone on such a crappy floor, when you have floors that have been remodeled?

The hotel was a little runned down. Furniture were all worned out. Dirt built up all along the corners of the floor/wall. Not enough plugs for charging phones. Patio door was not locking properly. Rooms need major renovation. Bathtub had slow drainage. Sink had low water pressure. Lobby was under renovation and smelled like paint.

Location great but what you see on the internet is not what you get. Furniture's outdated rooms need to be updated for the rates they ask for and the plumbing system needs to be upgraded. The toilet backs up after each use. The next person has to wait at least 20 minutes for the toilet to fully flush to use the toilet. Front desk said that is the norm. Pool and cabana hours were closed at 7 even though it says 10pm and the regular pool was freezing. Daily rate is way too much for what they claim they have. We would’ve been better off in a Quality Inn or similar definitely cheaper. Will NEVER come back to this hotel.

The property was a great location. The front desk staff were great. There were no umbrellas around hotel pool and it was in the sun all afternoon. We approached the WTR staff to request one and they were a little aggressive in denying us. After a second visit to the front desk one umbrella was brought to the pool.

Filthy room. Dry vomit on the bathroom wall and light switch. No vent fan in the bathroom. Dirty walls throughout the room. One dimly lit mirror. No other mirrors in the room. Hole in the ceiling. Sink drain broken. Would not drain. Stopper stuck closed. Tub faucet dripped constantly. Room phone did not work. Attached restaurant sneaks in gratuity then hands you the device on the page asking for tip. Paid $45 for a beer and chicken strips. No housekeeping unless requested. 65$ resort fee on top of room rate. Not sure for what. No free access to hotel pool during the week. Over priced drinks. Angel soft TP. And lastly. A random $15 dollar charge to my card during my stay. I’ll be watching it for fraudulent activity now. Do not stay here.

There is a "daytime swim/dance party" at an adjacent building on the weekends. Hotel said they started up in March for spring break and go all summer. DJ plays hip hop dance/techno music at unbearable volume from noon until 8-10pm. Unless you enjoy listening to for at least 8 hours straight, we would not recommend staying during summer hours. Lobby and common areas are pleasant and updated. View of the bay from balcony was the best part. Room was very dated and in poor repair. Grab bar in shower was so loose we were afraid to use for support. Toilet slow to flush and loose on floor. Had we not already paid in advance, we would have left before we unloaded our bags. Overall, "NO" we would not stay here again.
