We have stayed at this hotel in the past, but this time has to be one of the worst experiences that I have had in a hotel. My family utilized this place for Thanksgiving this year and we had 3 rooms. All the rooms had numerous kinds of bugs in them, they were not clean, the non-smoking rooms smelled like smoking rooms, and they were generally unsanitary. Our 15-year-old took a shower with bugs, turned back the hairy sheets on his bed and declared, "This place is disgusting! " The towels were thin and worn out, several of them had black stains on them. Our room had an issue with the "kitchen" sink as it would not drain. Someone finally came and managed to unplug it, but the result was black gunk all over the wall as well as some on me. The light above the kitchen sink did not work and when the front desk (actually the owner) was told about it, he asked if I had wiggled it. Also, the room AC leaked water into the room and someone had placed a small bucket under it to catch the water. When it cycled on, it sounded like a jet engine lighting up and turned on and off in about 10 minute intervals, was very loud and kept us awake most of the night. When front desk was told about, he said no one was available to work on it this Thanksgiving weekend. The steps metal structure was rusting away, the whole place needs painted, and the elevator is marginal. The fishing pier that the hotel site brags about is unsafe as it is very rickety in several places, it has numerous boards and nails/screws sticking up as a walking hazard, many of the pier lights don't work; it needs serious refurbishing to make it safe. I am sad to see this place in such terrible shape. We will not be staying there again unless it is completely remodeled and exterminated… or razed and rebuilt. I am surprised the city engineers haven't condemned this place! If you wanted to change your reservations after you arrived and wanted to leave early because of the deplorable condition of the place, you have to give 72 hours notice to get any kind of refund. No wonder they require payment up front and their room rates are not cheap for the condition of the place. Never again, unless things change dramatically! The only really good things about the place is the location and the view…
