First the staff was very off putting, room key didn’t work and had to go back down to office where front desk obviously had no idea who I was after being there 3 times in less tha 6mins come to find out door key scanner battery wa dead, probably the reason why the room was left completely dirty, dirty side tables and the shower had a very VERY black dirty washcloth hanging on the shower head, kitchen table was nasty with sticky stuff all over it, floors were nasty and right before we left we noticed dried blood ALL over the bottom mattress cover, beds are completely uncomfortable and for $496 a night I expected way better, the door looked like it had been broken into also, it was so unkept and not cleaned it was one of the worst places I’ve ever been in, remind you after going back down the 4th time the lady didn’t recognize me AGAIN and then told me they would clean the room took our room keys and said she’ll find another room to put us and come back in 2hrs instead of sending someone up immediately to make it right, I’ve never been more dissatisfied in my life with one place, yes I have pictures of everything I’ve mentioned and then some

Was not even supposed to stay here...booked another area hotel on hotels.com and that hotel contacted me day of to inform me that they did not have rooms available, and instead were going to book me at their comparable sister hotel, which turned out to be El Caribe. Sorry to say it was not comparable. Staff was friendly, but sadly the place needs updating....

The staff was very courteous and kind at check-in. The room seemed to be pretty clean. I didn't have any major issues while there except the toilet wanted to continue running at times. It would be a little loud sometimes in the evenings with people coming and going. I didn't necessarily feel unsafe, but I did note that it was difficult to lock the deadbolt. If I was on a budget, I would definitely come back.

The rooms look nothing like the pictures. The balcony looks and feels like it’s was about to cave in. We stayed on the 4th floor and each time we took the elevator and it got to the second floor it would make a weird noise and then shake a little bit. The bathroom sink was wobbly. The shower tiles were yellow and white. The hallways outside looked like a hurricane came through and chipped the paint away. The room had a terrible smell in it and it gave us a headache. The door was hard to lock. We had to jiggle it until the latch bolt was secure in the strike plate and then it would lock. There was also a gap in door and we could see outside through it. The safe was rusty. The remote to the tv had no back on it and the batteries kept falling out. One of the pillowcases looked like it had rust on it. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!!!!

Linens on bed had stains. No towels were provided. Had to buy Lysol, bed sheets and towels. AC unit barely worked. Door to room was malfunctioning. Had to slam to close and ram it to open. There were obvious criminal activity going on hotel grounds. NOTHING was clean!!! Exterior or interior. IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD.

Reserved the Omond Beach Suite... pics here do not reflect what we experienced. Upon arrival I noticed beat up legs on furrniture, refrigerator and microwave had visible rust. I was disappointed, yet thought I could deal with it. Minutes after our arrival, I noticed footprints on the floor. Upon closer inspection, realized the floor hadn't been mopped. Notified the front desk. They didn't have any house keeping on staff at that hour yet offered to send a maintenance guy to handle things. Went to dinner and came back... could tell the maintenance guy did run a mop over things, yet decided it needed another go. Decided to unpack and go to bed and noticed there were zero hangers in the room, yet the bed was clean and comfortable. The following morning I let the front desk know house keeping was needed and also needed hangers. After returning from breakfast, there were hangers on the outside doorknob. They were the wooden kind, yet the metal hooks were covered in rust. The room had been mopped again, still not totally clean... not certain the last time the floor had received a thorough mopping. My husband grabbed a bath towel and ended up mopping the floor himself. The outdoor furniture was pretty worn and dated... the view was gorgeous. Then later I noticed more white dust in the room... dropping off the curtains? Then it I realized it was some sort of peeling plaster or paint coming off the walls and ceiling. Checked out early and moved to a different hotel.

Let me start by saying the staff was wonderful! They were super friendly and super helpful. The place itself is very dingy and outdated. The elevator broke down at least twice during our stay. The room was spacious, but the sheets were dirty and the bathroom was sketchy. The view was beautiful and breathtaking. The tub had weird yellow tiles here and there and the drain was gaping and gross. The area surrounding the hotel is somewhat run down. Overall, it was just ok. I wouldn’t stay there again though.
