The person at reception was efficient but too business-like. This is the hospitality business. Employees who interact with the customers should be trained to project warmth. Not over-the-top phoniness, just warmth. The rooms were clean and well-prepared, with ironing board and hair dryer conveniently located, but the rugs were worn and some wallpaper was peeling. The worst problem was the shower handle. The plate that secures the handle to the wall was unscrewed, so the handle was upside down and wobbly. I got it to work, but this should never happen and suggests that the property needs to have a better maintenance inspection regime. The motel was okay for a one night stay, but I wouldn’t choose it for a longer stay.

Okay

The grounds are tropical and beautiful. The room was comfortable but definitely due for an upgrade. The dresser drawers and doors were falling off. Also the mini fridge is one of the smallest mini fridges I’ve ever had at a hotel, so don’t come loaded with cold food/drinks. Also there is no microwave, so don’t bring things that need to be warmed up. Overall it wasn’t bad, but definitely lots of room for minor improvements that would benefit their guests. Especially in a town with soooo many hotel options.

Much different experience from the first time.

This is the email I wrote to the hotel. Hello My first time staying for the Paradise Road Show last year was such a wonderful experience. It was only one hotel over from the tropics to our event. My room was absolutely worthy of a Palm Springs getaway at a fair price. I even wrote ya guys an honest and 5 star review on yelp. I too run my own business and quality control is one the biggest qualities my fellow colleagues & especially myself take pride in. I have been to every state in this nation for work and have stayed at many hotels. But the room I got this year was pretty bad. *there were these 4 weird holes right above the mini fridge that just seemed outta place. *interesting odor when I first walked in so I just opened the bathroom window a bit to air it out. *there was a huge crack in the popcorn ceiling above my bed. *hair dryer was halfway ripped off the wall mount. *not even a half of TP on the roller. *the carpet was coming undone near the base boards. *there was loose tile where the carpet and tile meet in the bathroom and it cut me by the toe nail on it. *the wall paper was coming undone in certain areas. *there was no hot water *the turn knob of the shower was pretty much a tetanus shot waiting to happen. *i requested to not be by any stairs as I am a light sleeper & I was put directly in front of the stairs.
