"If it weren't for the onsite Manatee tour, we would have checked out before even going to our (filthy) room. The pool was a hole in a concrete slab with extreme construction noise (generators, large trucks hauling and dumping dumpsters for hours, etc.) and a hot tub that was scalding in areas, no food or drinks (not even a convenience or counter) were available other than the continental b-fast that we were told was to be offered but after looking around, we knew we were not going to eat anything that came out of there! Our room seemed ok at first glance (thankfully the bedsheets appeared clean),but overall, it was truly disgusting upon a closer look and positively filthy. We were in a "renovated"? area of the hotel that was purely just lipstick on a pig. The stairwell smelled like a wet dog and the wall behind our nightstand/beds was solid black from spilled who-knows-what. Though our floors were not carpet, our feet were still black from just one evening. Additionally, the lock to the adjoining room door didn't lock fully, and there are no locks on the building doors or pool access areas for guest security. I would make your manatee tour a day trip and stay elsewhere. (The tour was wonderful, by the way - the price, location and staff make it a fantastic experience that I highly recommend). We were booked for 2 nights and left immediately after our manatee tour. This wasn't even worth the super discounted rate I received through Expedia using travel points. "
