no housekeeping which i asked for twice, floors & sofa were dirty with dog hair. Had to walk to front desk several times to get toilet paper, towels, bedding to change bed sheets. Front desk personnel were nice but overworked, overwhelmed, always people awaiting to be attended. Sad situation.

It was so close to the beach we could walk to the beach, shopping, and dining. That was great. What I didn't like was that there was never anyone at the desk. No one was there to check us in or check us out. And there didn't seem to be a phone number we could call for help - I always got voicemail. They said to text but the response was not until the next day or 12 hours later. But if you don't need anything it is a nice place and we all felt safe

We loved the room and the location. That being said, there were lots of little annoyances during our stay. First, figuring out how/where to check in was a nightmare. Turns out that this property and two other are run out of the Villa Rosa Inn. This is not marked clearly at all, and I wandered around for 20 minutes until I met another guest who went through the same deal. The fridge was condensing water, the outdoor trash hadn’t been picked up, they texted me frequently asking about the room but never responded when I replied. Nice place, nice people, they just seem understaffed or something.

A frustrating experience. There’s 4 hotels being run out of one office, which is not where this hotel is so you’ve got to go across the street to check in. Check in took forever. They accidentally kept my ID and didn’t bother to contact me. After ten minutes on hold (after discovering it was missing the next day) they found it. Eye roll since the desk space was 2x5, maybe. The staff are kind but clearly stretched too thin. It appears they’re also responsible for keeping the breakfast area stocked, which didn’t happen. For nearly $500/night we had higher hopes for breakfast than dried out pastries, a sticky waffle iron, and an empty oj pitcher. We also assumed that there’d be soap in the shower. Cute place, good spot, nice staff, but not at all worth the price. It was a huge splurge for us and we really felt let down.

We had a 3 pm check in but had to wait in the lobby with a number of other people for over an hour until the rooms were cleaned. The lobby was not clean. It was a nice room but very uncomfortable bed and very uncomfortable futon instead of a couch. It was a noisy room. You could hear every toilet flush, shower and bath from the room above. We ran out of shampoo conditioner and toilet paper. We started asking for more when we were getting low and two days later had still not received any. I called the front desk and was told I could walk across the street and get some if I needed it. So we had to walk to the other hotel and take some!!! Then when it was time to check out there was no one there. They had left a sign with a phone number on it but when you called the number they didn’t answer and the mailbox was full so you couldn’t leave a message. Again I was not the only guest in the lobby waiting to check out.

The reservation started out poorly. I was texted asking to upload my drivers license and other information. The picture wouldn’t upload and it kept saying the server was busy. I responded to the email with no reply. When I arrived everything was dark. There was no check in at that building. I had to ask another wandering person and she directed me across the street to check-in. She was given a room that already had people in it. I checked in and the lady was very nice, apologetic and said if the room wasn’t to my liking she would upgrade me in the am. The room was down a dark ally and it had no side table for the bed or a place to hang my clothes. The next morning at 7:30, I turned in my key and told the person at the desk I would take him up on their offer. I returned at 7:30 that night, and there was no record of the promise or request. They made a couple phone calls and 30 minutes later I was upgraded to a nice room in the main hotel. They handled that very well, when I checked out this morning at 7:30 there was no one there, so I just had to leave my keys on the desk. The property desperately needs a refresh. The service of the people I did deal with at the front desk was overall very positive. But, the ownership needs to upgrade their Wi-Fi, their servers and the property.
