Staff did not care about anything I brought up about my internet not working or that the phone in my room was not working. When we finally got to check in. There was a line of about 10 people also checking in. Took 20-25 min to checking. They never fixed our phone in the room. The cleaning staff never cleaned our room and had to call twice to get fresh towels to shower. While ate the pool and hot tub. There were little kids about 4 or 5 years old jumping into the hot tub whee I was. Not parent telling them to not do this. This went on for several hours. I had called three times to get towels to the pool, but again, they never brought any. This was absolutely one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed. What happened to the Wyndham hotel.

The Manatee restaurant on site was great, the food is reasonably priced and you get a lot for your money!! The staff there were very nice and friendly.

During our stay, we unfortunately encountered several issues that made the experience disappointing. Our air conditioner was leaking a significant amount of water, and when I brought it up to the front desk, I was told this was “normal,” but that someone would check on it. Hours went by with no action taken. I also requested that our room be cleaned, but it wasn’t done until I called again to follow up. Eventually, because two large towels weren’t enough to contain the leak, we were moved to a different room. While I appreciated the offer of a refund and the kindness of the staff member who handled it, the overall process was very inconvenient, especially with all of our belongings already unpacked. Additionally, some of the front desk staff seemed bothered by guest concerns — they were dismissive toward me and visibly annoyed with other customers, including one who simply asked for hot water for his coffee. Customer service definitely needs improvement. On top of that, I was missing an item and was told it might be in housekeeping’s dirty laundry bins, so I’d have to wait for a call. The coffee shop coffee was poor quality, and our rooms weren’t very clean — there were cigarette wrappers in the bedside drawers, a strange liquid in the closet, and the overall property appeared run-down. While the refund was appreciated, the combination of poor service, cleanliness issues, and maintenance problems means I would not choose to stay here again

The room I ordered online was not the room we got when we got there but it a beachfront like we ask. The room was full of roaches and we ask to be put in another room. The hotel did not have any more beach front rooms so they gave us a partial which was a lot cleaner and we spoke about refunding some money. However they did not say much and could not refund since we booked the room through Expedia.
