Photos of the room were great. But we didn't feel we got what we paid for on arrival. Loved the location, the view, the beach, and the excursion discounts. Had we known about it ahead of time, we would have stayed long. This was a birthday trip, so we spent a little extra . The room was fine, if not extremely dated and showing the kind of caked-in dirt that years of wear and tear bring: black, dirty grout; old, old microwave; the really filthy chair/pull-out bed, which my son had to sleep in and won't soon forgive me for; the really cheap uncomfortable pillows; the hair dryer that was missing the cover to the heating elements, which I found out after my young son tried to use it-safety hazard; and if the floors were swept, they were still full of sand. It wouldn't be the first time I would have to sweep a sandy floor while on a beach vacation, but again, for the price of the room, we shouldn't have to sweep the moment we walk in the door. If that was all, I would have mentioned it. If you're going to charge what adds up to over $300/night for a room, maybe paint the rooms with more than a single coat, clean the grout, update the [1970s] appliances, clean the furniture or buy a new chair to replaced the filthy one. Even the nice Adirondack chairs and tables on the deck were caked with years of black dirt. When we asked if the room was ready early, it was not because maintenance and housekeeping were still there. I was a concerned that maintenance was there, but figured they'd have had a backup plan if there was a problem. We weren't alerted to any problems at check-in but found out later on that night that the warm water (not hot) would only come out of the tub spout, not the shower. So only cold showers were possible. We decided to grin and bear it since we were there for such a short period of time & didn't want to have to deal with maintenance. We weren't told there would be no hot running shower. In addition, we had to plan to stagger our showers because the water would get clogged to where if you took more than a two-minute shower or just washed up in the tub, the water would not go down (about calf deep). Yuk. It took about half an hour or an hour for the water to drain completely. And to boot, with all this filth, we were still expected to take out our own trash and wash dishes before we left. For nightly rate charged, even in season on the beach, that room was kind of gross.
