We stayed March 21-22 & March 30, 2025. Our room was on the 5th floor. TV was broke on 1st stay. Toilet’s tank broke on our 2nd stay and we had to fix it ourselves. Bathroom was dirty. No phone in the room to call front desk for service. No TP, soap, shampoo and no hot water. Elevator takes forever to respond and we had to take the stairs with our luggages. Our Security Deposit on the 2nd stay is still not released and still pending as of this time April 21. Avoid this hotel. Not worth the trouble & headache. Worst hotel ever.

While the property was conveniently located between the beach and the airport which was our main goal, for the price the hotel was very poor quality. The entire shower head and pipe came out of the shower wall when turning on the shower, the AC couldn't be controlled and the WiFi was extremely spotty which meant the TV didn't work (needed WiFi to connect). There was little to no soundproofing in the room and the noise from the restaurants and bars lasted until about 1am. While it served the purpose of a place to sleep for an early flight the next morning, I would not recommend the hotel for any type of stay longer than a few hours.

At chk in at Coral by Sea, was told they only had us booked for 2, not 3 rooms. We showed printed confirmation was told they must have made a mistake. Then one of the 3 rooms we got had a noisy constant shower head leak. Told front desk and repair guy who said there was nothing he could do. Sink water in other room had rust colored water, captured on a wash cloth. The blue comforter was a blanket and had hairs. The bed was nicely made but had long hairs in the sheets, too.
