When we checked in we were told that we had been upgraded to a beach front room which had a decent view but we later learned that section is to be torn down soon due to broken air conditioner and water damage. We suffered through one night in a muggy, stuffy room and woke with a cough and allergies from (most likely) mold in the ac or walls.

This was by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, the fact that it was 300 a night is unconscionable. There were bugs on the ceiling, the bath tub looked as if it had never been cleaned. The molding around the bathroom door and the wallpaper were both held together with globs of caulking. The outside balcony had rot, and was filthy and “made safe” by screwing and zip-tying a piece of plastic lattice to the railing.
