I love the view we have since you have a private balcony facing the beach.

The view was excellent. The condition of the property was very disappointed. The appliances were very old. The room needs paint and all the appliances need replacement. The halls were dirty with a strong nasty smell. The bed and bathroom were clean and the room was spacious.

The only thing I can say I liked about this property is the location and the fact it’s right in the beach. The hotel was nasty and unkept. Our room wasn’t clean and had to move to two different rooms. Never received any house keeping and when asked for fresh towels and wash cloths were told they didn’t have any due to being behind on laundry. Most the house keeping workers stood around talking instead of cleaning rooms. Office staff were very rude and unprofessional!! Will not ever stay at this location again!!

The only positive about this hotel is the beach access. The room itself was outdated and unsanitary. The room key didnt work and maintenance ended up replacing the lock on the door. Roaches everywhere. Rusted stove and microwave. Sheets didnt even fit on the mattress. Toilet was hard to flush. We spent $400 for 2 nights and could hardly sleep due to the thought of roach demons pitter pattering. Never again.

Location is the only positive attribute about this place. Everything else is worn down and outdated. I would never stay here again.

The ocean view was incredible as well as the location. The hotel was old and very poorly maintained. Our room was covered in roaches and I now have dozens of bug bites. I’m just hoping we didn’t get bed bugs.

Ive stayed in worse but Ive stayed in better

Pros: Beach was beautiful
Cons: Beds, Parking, Office staff at location.
Location: Sharkys next door was wonderful.
No parking. Had to park down the street and walk about two blocks. Hotel was not very clean. Noticed baby cockroaches in the morning in the sink. Praying no critters came home with me.

Dear Guest, I'm sorry to hear that you were unsatisfied with your stay. During your stay did you mention your issues you had so that we could have had the issues resolved? Although our parking lot is small because we share it with our restaurant, we do have 3 additional parking lots for this reason.

The front desk lady Sent to me on a wild goose chase to find my room then the keys did not work. I had children that had to go to the bathroom and could not get in the room. I had to make another trip to the office then the keys did not work again. The maintenance man had to come and fix the door lock so the keys would work. Very disappointing experience at your motel probably will not stay there again.

Nice view to the gulf.

The room had everything that I ask for. Clean and the kitchen works, the house keeping was nice. But I'm talking about the seaheaven beach resort, because I book for the reef but they put me in the seaheaven, I think because they had no more rooms at the reef and this was perfect for us. Cause when I read the reviews for the reef I was a bit scared. Our stay was fantastic even though they gave us the room 313 and for me the number 13 means bad luck, but I had hope that our vacation would be great and they were. .
