The room was really big, the minifridge and microwave where tiny and no counter space. Had to go ask for towels like 3 times. The breakfast was toast, bagels, or cereal... Also the pool was under construction but that's meh.
Went to the beach just north of here. Good time at the beach and no the trails.

Not so good.
Check in was great. I was upgraded for free. Disappointed in the fact that there was no coffee in the room. The pool and fitness center were closed with no pre notice. The breakfast was non existent.

The staff was very helpful. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived around 5’ish.
The room was very dirty, ripped lampshade, ripped mattress pad, coffee maker area was filthy along with bathroom floor.
Room itself wasn’t bad - definitely needs a much better cleaning job.

We didn't like much. Staff was bickering, room wasn't cleaned or prepped, pool closed, etc.
We left a day early due to conditions.

The price was great, however, we selectes the room based on the pool. They said it was being renovated. When we arrived we saw the pool area and it been down for a while. There was a tree growing in the pool area. Also, our first room had blood stains on the linen. We were given another room thankfully. The room cards kept turning off, and they had to reset them 4 times during a two night stay.

Great price. Housekeeping needs attention. The room was spacious but was not cleaned well. The bed was made messy. There was hair on the floor in bathroom, tub and faucets were outdated and room had no towels. But the plus was it was half the price then surrounding hotels and restaurants were not far from property

Dissatisfied Stay
Our room was surprisingly unclean. Mold grew on the bathroom ceiling from lack of ventilation. Hair covered every part of the toilet,the rest of the room was clearly not dusted in a while and only 1 of our tvs worked. The bedding seemed to be the only clean part of the room.
This was our second stay at this hotel for our annual family trip. Last year was a good stay. To come back this year and witness such a deline in quality was unfortunate.
The pool, arcade and gym were all closed. The breakfast was 'grab and go' but my kids didn't even want to eat it. Where last time there were more and better options.

Although the workers were polite and friendly, this place needs work, and possibly new management. You get what you pay for is very true out this place. What was once probably a quality Best Western is now a run down Rodeway Inn. Exercise space, pool, arcade all out of order for “remodeling”. “Hot” breakfast was toast packaged in ziplock sandwich bags. And sheets with stains that should be replaced. For simply a bed, this place works. For a vacation stop, spend a little more and avoid that intersection of Melton, or you’ll be in for a disappointing experience.

The outside of the hotel was an eye sore, but the room itself was nice. The members of staff were pleasant, when you could find one. We had a broken toilet seat that was never fixed and there was only one ice machine that worked. The pool, gym and media room was closed. Oh and the “grab and go breakfast” was a joke. My family was there to experience the Dunes, which was awesome! However with none of the hotel amenities available during our stay we had enough. So much so that we returned home a day earlier than planned.

Awful experience
The first room we were sent to hadn’t even been cleaned, so we had to take all of our stuff to another room. At 3:00 in the morning, the fire alarms went off, due to someone smoking in their room. None of the amenities were available, due to construction. No pool, no workout room, nothing! “Breakfast was a joke…toast and bagels and cereal! This was definitely the worst hotel I’ve stayed in.

Pathetic
I was with my family for two nights and had a terrible experience. Breakfast was pathetic serving only cereal, bread and apples. Only condiment available with bread was butter. Juice machines didn't have juice. No other fruits, yoghurt, flavored milk or eggs. One of the days they even closed the breakfast early for no good reason. The pool and gym were closed. No housekeeping. No coffee pods in the room despite coffee machines being there. Even the bedsheets in the room were not washed. I will never come back here.
