I reserved a king bed, but they gave me double beds. They wouldn’t change this until the next morning. The curtains had a lot of mold on them. The shampoo and shower containers were completely empty. The room looked nothing like the one in the picture, as these rooms are still being renovated. It was a complete disappointment. I’ve stayed there many times in the past, but this property is not the same anymore. It’s no longer worth the price. The only positive was that the beds were very comfortable.

We have stayed at the Emerald Hotel a couple times before and loved the staff , grounds our room (across from the pool) this time was horrendous we wanted the bay view rooms which had an amazing view of the ocean and that was the best part of the stay .... we booked for 8 days cut our stay 3 days short due to horrible room service our room was never cleaned the entire stay we had to drive the office crazy to get clean towels, toilet paper , shampoo and body wash we had to dump our own trash sweep our own room due to all the sand . I could have kept complaining to front desk but why bother they didnt care the first couple times i did so we left early... the hotel itself is is such bad shape rust everywhere pool fence was broken a whole section falls over so any child could get in the pool and drown the safty glass on the walk area above the beach pieces were missing someone could fall and really get hurt the stairs going to the beach had no rails and there where rusty nails sticking out of the stairs easily go through someones foot ... its is clear the owners and staff could careless about this hotel and its a shame so much potential for this prime property ..... even if i was given a lifetime of free room accommodation my family and i will never stay nor recommend this hotel again .

This property was unfit to stay. Our room had standing water, strong mold smell, dilapidated walls and ceiling, and a totally worn out and falling apart chair. They offered a second room that smelled like mildew, had similarly run down walls, floors and furniture. When we asked for a return they said Expedia had to return the money. Then Expedia said since we already checked in they could only reimburse half. The hotel staff told us we had to wait until Monday to call and ask the manager for a refund of the rest of our money. We had to purchase a different hotel entirely due to the uninhabitable state of this hotel. One of my worst experiences with a hotel offered through Expedia.

The second room there was sand in my bed upon check in, the shampoo conditioner soap was empty upon check in, the chair was not in good condition, dirty bandaids on the floor. The entire hotel was in very run down, dirty condition.
