“Better than the reviews would suggest”

I was close to cancelling the hotel having read previous reviews saying it was awful. However it is located exactly where I wanted (close to CrossFit Mousetrap which is two min away and made it easy for me to continue training) The location is also very convenient for bars and eateries with Starbucks, Hooters, an Irish bar, Denny’s, IHOP, Olive garden all within a 5 minute walk. The room is outdated but perfectly functional - the air con works well, the shower works well, the bed is comfortable, the sofa bed is comfortable, the dishwasher oven fridge etc all work fine, the kitchen is well stocked with plates and glasses and jugs and trays etc. It was great to have a washer and dryer in my room - I didn’t want to traipse to some communal laundry room every night, looking for quarters. Being British I had no idea what to do with the coffee maker and asked for a kettle to make a cup of tea and they happily obliged with one round at my door within 10 minutes. The two gents on reception have both been extremely helpful and accommodating. The downside - I am in an interconnecting room (Cyprus 814 A) and the noise has been unbearable at times. One night a family left their dog in the room for 6 hours unattended and it cried and howled til 11pm when they returned. The inter connecting rooms are like the other family are in your room with you. Every time one checks out I pray the next one to check in doesn’t have kids because all I can hear is children yelling every night until 10.30/11pm. People seem to just let their children wail and scream regardless of having neighbours in a room next door. I would also concur that while the place isn’t filthy, it’s certainly not the cleanest either. Inside the rooms are clean enough, but things like the outside of windows are mucky. The pool looks a bit grubby. There is a small gym with a treadmill and an elliptical and a couple of weight machines and yoga mats. Perhaps a few free weights would improve the facility easily without much cost? All things considered I would definitely return, it’s been an enjoyable stay and the room had everything we needed at a very reasonable cost - but next time I would specify please don’t give me a room that’s got a connecting door to another room.

“Adequate”

Nothing fancy, but adequate. We liked having a full kitchen. Sheets were clean and nice. Good bed. Good pillows. Clean towels. The unit was worn and quite old and dated, but it worked for what we needed. No frills but has everything you need to be comfortable.

“TIME SHARE not a hotel - operates differently”

Book rooms by calling, not using the website. They are a TIME SHARE, not a HOTEL and they operate by different rules than normal hotels. I booked 4 rooms online for a conference in Palm Coast, no where did it say anything about special bookings for Tax Exempt stays. They told me the room has to be … more

Book rooms by calling, not using the website. They are a TIME SHARE, not a HOTEL and they operate by different rules than normal hotels. I booked 4 rooms online for a conference in Palm Coast, no where did it say anything about special bookings for Tax Exempt stays. They told me the room has to be booked in the name of the agency, then the guest names below. They have refused to remove taxes. If you are going on business, DO NOT use them.
