We stayed at the Roman Holiday in June 2007 which is 2 resort up from the Trylon. We thought we would like to try a different place which we do often. We checked out Trylon's website and the pictures of the room's looked really nice. We booked our reservation several months ago. When we arrived at room 217 I was instantly taken back by the condition of the room. Mold on the ceiling, the AC was a window unit in the bedroom that kept freezing up, handles missing from the few kitchen cabinets, no pictures on the wall, tv in bedroom did not work, microwave was the smallest one Ive ever seen, the flourescent light over the shower was exposed and you could see the wires hanging out, old dark paneling in the bedroom. This room was never renovated or updated. After an hour I went to the office and told the lady we would not stay in the room because of all of the above and that the hotel pictures were deceiving. There was an older retired couple in the room next to us that their son owned and their place was very nice, we were also able to see in some of the other rooms that were totally renovated. Unfortunately, each room is privately owned. The lady in the office refunded our money without any problem. She told me the fellow that owed the room had no desire to put any money into fixing it up and that is why she refunded our money so easily, since the hotel's policy is no refunds. The hotel does have a nice pull and a great location, but beware that not all of the rooms have been kept up to date. We ended up going down to Wildwood Crest which is only a mile away and stayed at the Sinapore which was pretty decent.
