We Won’t stay again. No cell service at all in our room. Uncalled for. We chose this hotel because it was near the condos where our daughter and family were staying, and we had stayed a few years back and it was very clean and well maintained at that time. In those few years, we were disappointed to see it had not been well maintained. Poor lighting in room, not vacuuming our 3rd floor halls (a fry on the hallway floor Sunday we noticed was still there when we left Wednesday), lots of dogs on our floor, two old rusty light fixtures in bathroom that didn’t work, two rusty lamps in bedroom, cream sofas in main entry way with heavy brown dirt stains, smelled marijuana heavily at numerous times on our floor and lobby area. Beds were clean and comfortable and bathroom was clean, so that helped, and we had a nice gulf and pool view. We planned to eat there but when I had asked to be placed on a non pet floor due to severe allergies, and was given an answer that favored pets more than people, we were afraid to eat there. The pool area maintenance was poor on Sunday but seemed to get better Tuesday and Wednesday. Disappointed in Hilton and Expedia for rating this property a 9.2 because I definitely go by reviews. There is no way. More like 6.5.

There are signs posted everywhere no smoking and no outside coolers. Everywhere you look there were people smoking weed, cigarettes, and vapes. Coolers everywhere with people drinking their own alcohol. You were given bracelets for the pool but there was no one checking people coming in from the beach. Very poorly checked. The room was very subpar for the expense. Our carpet right at the transition to the tile had a very large tear. The commode was leaking and we notified maintenance and that was never taken care of. The chairs were all worn and needed reupholstered badly. We had to ask after the third day to have our room cleaned and the towels and bedding replaced. Overall very displeased and would not recommend to anyone.
