I was very shocked by the condetion of the room. The carpet was so dirty and wet we had to ware socks all the time. There were wall plates missing, elect outlets lose, wall broken away from the A/C, wallpaper peeling with mold behind it, the bath tub was not clean, paint peeling from the celling. DON'T STAY THERE !!!

I stayed at Beaches last year and it was nice and clean with no problems at all the cleaning staff was wonderful and cleaned the rooms everyday. So this year I decided I would stay again and I wish I hadn't. I learned beaches had been sold to Grand Seas Resorts and was in transsion. For some reason they removed the floor safes from the rooms (which I was unhappy about to say the least) also I was there 7 days and the Ice machine didn't work the entire time but when asking management about it they said it was just probably over worked from the hot day ( well the poor thing never recovered) The sheets were not changed the entire time we stayed there. We were on the second floor but our balcony door would not lock and had the slam it to even get it to close. (I know we were on the second floor but I still didn't like sleeping in a hotel with an unlocked door)
The staff was nice and seemed to be doing all they could with what they had to work with but I won't be staying there again.

Based on the old reviews, it does not sound like much has changed. We just got back from this "Resort" and it was a horrible experience. The expression, "you get what you pay for" almost fits this hotel. Except I think $90 per night is overpriced for this hotel. If you like roaches and rude service this is the place for you. I met the new management and they were very rude to customers and their own employees. The employees could care less about complaints like rust, mold, food in sink, late wake up calls, no clocks, broken drawers, roaches (not palmetto bugs), disgusting pool, and an elevator I wouldn't put my worst enemy in. I agree with the other comments about he "Continental Breafast" which consisted of a muffin and coffee and that's if you are early. The only reasons to stay here is because of the oceanview and the fact that they allow pets (but I see why). It can't get much worse.

I almost did not book this room because of bad reviews, but I took a chance and was very pleased. This is an older hotel...do not expect the Ritz Carlton...some of the appliances were worn and rusty (normal for an older beachfront place)...but the hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly...I thought it was a good room at a good bargain. If all you want is a bed by the beach...it is great!
