Very disappointed!

Family members were visiting from out of town which included 2 children, a 7 year old and a 5 year old. It was important to the kids that we stay at a hotel with a pool so I chose this hotel mainly for that reason. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for the entire duration of our stay. Upon check out, I mentioned our disappointment and the staff member offered us a 15% discount on the rooms to compensate us for not having the pool available. She said that she would give us a 15% discount on the rooms and credit our credit cards. Over the next few days, I looked out for the credit but it never came through. I called the hotel a few days after we checked out and mentioned that we had not received the refund yet and the staff member said that the manager would call us back. We never received a call back so I tried calling again and again and kept on getting the same answer, that the manager would call back. I called at least 5 times and no one ever returned my call nor did we ever receive a credit. This hotel is dishonest and a shady operation because multiple employees lied to us. I can understand that the pool may have issues and may not be available under unforeseen circumstances. What I cannot tolerate, is dishonesty and being lied to. Needless to say, we will not be staying here again.

Perfect location! Beach, marina, gondola base, cincert venue, casinos, Tons of restaurants, bars, shopping, All within a 10 minute walk. We didn't start our car once in 4 days. Nice common areas; pool, outdoor area with fire oits, and cornhole. The property appears old, with recent "updating". They've done a pretty good job. The bed and bedding was very comfortable. The only real complaint is the check in process. Took about 45 mins. Only 1 computer, issues with their system, 2 people "working " but just getting in each others way trying to use the 1 computer.

Ideal

Very comfortable room and bed. The pool is nice and there are fire pits. One day there was yoga in the lobby area. The WiFi was great. I hosted a zoom conference without issue. Everything is walkable from here. There's a great private beach about 5 minutes walking and the hotel can give you a voucher. There's a nice restaurant connected. Great little coffee spot 3 blocks over in the lobby of the Coachman.

Solid Value

Efficient, friendly staff, clean rooms, great pool & jacuzzi. Coffee and breakfast items in lobby are welcome. Awesome location. We were in on a Monday for a 5 night stay. We were excited noticing loads of room available in the hotel center instead we were given the empty 200 building on the backside of the facility with super tight parking. We felt disconnected from the heart of the hotel. They were not busy Mon - Thurs of our stay, but we grew accustomed to the quietness of the back building. We were told we had to pay $30 dollars each for the passes to Lakeside Beach. The reason given was because we didn’t book directly with the hotel and had booked with Expedia. She did, after a few minutes of me looking completely confused, gave us two complimentary passes saying any other passes would be charged to us. She was polite but firm. I did check website later and saw that notation about booking direct, however the book direct policy seems like it just makes us customers irritated and a money grab. So buyer beware. Overall a solid choice for location and value.
