The conditions make me question my stay

I would really like to speak to some one about my stay I have pictures. The room had water, restroom and a bed sleep but Nats spider and insects. A big went in my sons ear wile he was asleep. thankful when he got up my wife brushed it out his ear. Nasty mold or growth in shower curtain window. I don’t know if that shampoo was left behind or came with the room it says red roof in. I did not dare to use. We had no where to throw trash as all cans were full over filling

Sleep and go

All I ever care about is a clean bed and cold room. This place had that, so for me it worked. I was there because my husband was having surgery, but if you want to play at the beach, it’s across the street. It is on Ocean Drive, so there is fishing, play areas, running paths, maybe even a summer concert series happening nearby. The woman who checked me in was sweet. We did run out of toilet paper, but got by. We did have two towels, two wash cloths and two hand towels. I was in room 30. There appears to be a water leak somewhere because the floor was wet. The floor had shoe prints on the tile and a cigarette butt behind the night stand. The shower was newer and tile around sink was too, but no hot water at sink. Clearly needs some TLC but for a good night sleep, it worked for me. Oh and the a/c makes a great amount of noise but I prefer that over silence. Would I stay again? You bet. I’m easy to please.

Upon checking into room, I was disappointed to find that the room lacked essential amenities. Specifically, there was no toilet paper or bath towels provided. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the room was below expectations, with noticeable stains on the walls and other surfaces.
