It took 3 hours past checkin time for the room to be ready & it wasn’t even very clean. Beds were hard, only 2 towels. Called sun AM at 8:30 to request more, still didn’t have them at 3:30 that afternoon. No ice machine except at tiki bar that you have to pay for. When I inquired about no toilet paper in the public restroom next to the tiki bar, I was told to get some from the front desk. This place is very outdated & run down.

With the exception of 2018, we have been staying at the Chateau at least once a year for the past five years. While we enjoyed our trip and the proximity to the beach, the hotel has gone downhill. Both days I had to request housekeeping before they finally showed up after 5:00. The pool was closed all day on Friday. My computer was "hacked" during our stay which was amazing given the fact that the wifi was spotty at best. When I tried to call the facility to warn them about the hack, I did not get an answer. I hope these circumstances were just a "fluke." It is a shame to see a property with so much potential go downhill.

The room was supposed to have two queen beds but only had one. There was no soap or shampoo in the room. The view was ok of the beach but obstructed by scaffolding. The roof was still being repaired from the hurricane.

IF you don't mind a bunch of THUGS hanging out Then this place is fine. We've stayed here twice and had the same experience. Thought the first time was a fluke, but nope it wasn't!! You call the office and ask them to calm down the parking lot situation but they didn't do ANYTHING! you can't walk in the parking lot to go anywhere after a certain time. All the boom boom music and straight up thugs made it impossible and extremely uneasy feeling! Good luck if you stay here, i would highly recommend 'carrying' while you're here!
