Upstairs neighbors were up all night moving furnit

I complained to the front desk and spoke to manager Tricia Eden, about our upstairs neighbor that was rowdy all night and apparently the next door neighbor complained as well. I was told since I didnt book through them, all they could offer was $10 free parking or late check out. I was not pleased

Our stay at the Cottage Inn by the Sea was an amazing one. We especially loved the spectacular location next to the shoreline. Enjoying the stunning views along the ocean-side walkway with its many seating areas and having easy walkable access onto the beach were the most appreciated aspects of this property. Also, the sweet swag bag for our senior dog was a wonderful touch.

I liked the location of this property. The front desk staff that was working during the day I arrived was friendly. Upon checking out, I was not asked about my stay. I wanted to let them know that the only thing I didn't like was the fact that there was a lot of mold on one of the windows and in the bathroom ceiling plus window.

At check in I was told my room wasn’t available and I had to take a lesser expensive room. I paid for an ocean view upper level. When walking in the room that I was given, it wreaked of weed. The grounds are getting worn out and need attention. I witnessed multiple people and the front desk complaining about dirty rooms.
