Ocean view was not viewable from the room but there was A/C. However, we could not watch TV the entire weekend we were there. Instead transferring us to a room where the service worked, we were apologized to and told we just have to deal with it. That made me wanna leave

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Third floor stunk. Room stunk. Killed a spider above sink. Walls had remnants of food, debris, & secretions. Sheets were discolored and had clear flakes (skin?) on them. The shower drain backed up within 3 minutes of use. At 1 AM, what appeared to be a homeless man knocked on my door. He was likely trying to get to the room down the hall that had had its door propped open all evening with the lights off. The ice machine on third floor did not work. The elevator buttons don't properly illuminate and the breaks squeak loudly. The AC unit so loudly & aggressively vibrates the walls and floor that the metal springs in the mattress reverberate the noise into your person. Glad I took my own pillow. A sign on the mirror suggests that any difficulties you may have sleeping are the result of caffeine.
