Extremely disappointing!

This place is a joke and a total waste of money. We had a three day/two night stay. Elevators did not work upon arrival and mostly throughout entire stay. Lugging everything to the 7th floor on stairs was difficult, especially on the elderly. Doorknobs were broken and folks were getting stuck in the pool bathrooms, not being able to get out. Reported to management, and they simply removed the door handles. Super 8 likely would have been a far better stay, and definitely much cheaper!

The hotel is not in a good condition. The suite we rented had a non-working refrigerator, and the living room furniture smelled bad. The living room TV was not working. The bedroom TV was very old, we could not mirror our iPad to it. We had to make our stay short and move to another hotel in the same area.

This was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire life. Rips in the carpet, bugs on the floor, hair in the shower. Rude people at the front desk. I was appalled. I debated just sleeping in my car after arriving.

We did not get the room we requested and paid for, there was old furniture in our hallway the entire stay. The door to our room was broken and would stick. We only had 3 chairs at our breakfast table in the room and it took 3 requests and 3 days to get the 4th chair. I have stayed in IHG properties for years and this was absolutely the worst property and service I have ever been to and had. I will never go back to this property.

Our accommodations had plenty of room for our family of 4. Unfortunately the game room wasn’t available due to renovations from the hurricane last year. The pool was quiet and even at peak hours we could still find some chairs. Nice view of the inlet, boats coming and going from the Gulf. Walkable distance to the main beach area and live entertainment. Good access to small shops forever you need snacks/drinks/condiments.

Paradise on the shore

It’s a 3.5 star trying hard to not be a 3 star resort. The area is beautiful and magical. They are working hard to rebuild after the hurricane but still have a lot of work to do. The additional charge for parking was also unwelcome.

The hotel is under renovation, so we had to deal with the inconvenience. the room we were in did not have lights or lamps. It took us three requests before being able to get a lamp, which still was not adequate. the shower was also scalding hot only. after five complaints they said they would have to change the diverter, it was a big job, and they would not be able to do it after we leave. On top of that, we went through over 20 room keys as they kept stopping working. combined with everything we had to make over 20 trips to the front desk and over 30 calls just to not have our issues fully resolved. We rented a suite to have a separate dining room to eat and play games on, but never ended up with enough light to do so and never had a shower that was usable. I think that I should be refunded for this whole trip. The hotel waived a resort fee and said that we would have to deal with you as it is a third-party sale. The whole thing is very frustrating and disappointing.

The attached restrauant was definitely very good, great service. As for the parking is was difficult finding a parking space, for the amount of daily room rates the additional resort fee was not a plus for returning to your hotel. It added more expense to the price of our stay. Your staff was very good and very helpful.

The stay was okay and a great view of the sunset but Hotels.com said parking was $25 USD a night and it was actually $37 USD a night plus taxes! I was a little disappointed in that. Also, we paid in advance $15 per person for breakfast each day and come to find out anything above that above that you had to pay the difference. There was no reason to pay for breakfast in advance. Other than that it was a great location and Jimmy's Fish House is a great place to eat and enjoy the scenery
