Low supply of towels

It was good enough when I stayed alone a year ago. This time I was with my mom and sister, so we ran into an issue with towels. We shower daily, which means 3 towels daily. This was a struggle since apparently the hotel has a limited amount of towels. This is one of the reasons I dislike AirBNBs - limited towels. Yes, I'm aware it's a 3 star hotel, but, towels are a basic expectation for me.

We gave them three chances.

The place had decent reviews, so we gave them a shot, but it is horribly misrepresented, or we just struck out. We booked for 2 nights but couldn't stay. We had requested a room with two beds. When we first checked in, we got to the room it was a single king bed, which was not enough for three adults. The man at the desk apologized and we get another room. We go in and there are ants all over the place. Nope. Back to the desk, gave them another try. We get to the third room, and the bathroom floor was filthy. I'm sorry, but we gave them 3 chances. Fortunately, we were able to book elsewhere last minute and requested a refund. We hope that happens.

A bad choice by us. Smell of disinfectant in our room. Found a full baby bottle on top of the refrigerator. Fridge was not plugged in. The hdmi 3 not connected. I called the front desk and asked them to tell the manager. Ice machine upstairs and no elevator. Ran out of coffee 9 am. No seating area.

This passes for 9 stars????

Lovely little motel in a cute little seaside town. But 9 stars???? Seriously? I've stayed in 9 star places that are glorious buildings with tremendous service. This is a little motel. 9 stars is an insane rating. A fair rating would be 7. I mean, it is what it is. You aren't going to get a Ritz Carlton place for McDonald's money. My problem isnt with this motel, it's with hotels.com's grossly inflated unrealistic rating. I used to have a cutoff of no lower than 7 stars, but it appears 9 is the new 7 here.

Our check in went great. Lady at the counter was helpful in getting us two rooms on the first floor, provided information on places to have dinner. Free breakfast was simple but fine, fruit, yogurt, waffles. A choice of cereal would have been nice. This is not the Hilton, but served our needs and I would stay here again. It was about 20 minutes from the airport in rush hour.

The bed was hard as rock… the floor was really dirty, you would need to wear sandals to walk around in the room, otherwise, you have black feet… it’s gross. The facility was in somewhat like a beat down stage… not as good as what other people reviewed. The towels were super thin and small too… hair was on towels and bed. Make sure to check the towels… some blood on some towels too on the first day we went in … anyways not staying there again …

Pleasantly surprised! My room was lovely, front desk (a young man) was pleasant and helpful. This property is 2 blocks from the marina, park, restaurant ..an easy walk or very inexpensive parking. I couldn't give an "excellent" rating as it isn't right ON the marina, as photos somewhat indicate. And, the walking area isn't great for eateries, etc. BUT, the hotel itself is very nice, and the marina was beautiful.

When I checked in the room still had moldy coffee in the coffee pot. Went downstairs and showed to staff, was given a different room, the next night I went back to my room and my coffee pot wasn’t emptied or new service items added. The morning breakfast had pastry that had an expire date of May 2025. I shows to staff and they said oops. Just was not attention to what was happening. Great area, sad hotel.
