Dirty furniture in room, mold, outdated and I can only imagine what was in the carpet. The room number was #820 so if you get it...ask for another. The people in the next room had a party the night we stayed and we could hear everything. Try something else...the Hampton Suites up the road look a whole bunch better!
It was a nice, older hotel, right on the beach. Definitely older than some other hotels nearby but still had the basics, pools, bar, beach access etc. It was alright.
The room was clean and the bed slept good. We had an amazing view and i will definitely be back again.
El personal del front desk te atiende con esmerada atencion, el estacionamiento es de fácil acceso a las habitaciones pero el desayuno no esta incluido y la habitación tenía un olor desagradable apesar que estaba limpia. Aparte tiene taxes muy exagerados o sea un sobreprecio oculto.
Everything was great. People very friendly. The lady at check-in was great. The rooms were comfortable. The view was spectacular. Parking was really easy. Great location. Going again
Checking in the front desk ladies were not very attentive. The beds were very comfortable and the oceanfront view was very nice. The room was not very clean as there were hairs all in the shower and bathroom but overall our stay was good and I would recommend.
Enjoyed my stay.Location is great and newly renovated rooms.
Service was terrible and rooms were dirty. Not much effort is done in housekeeping! Beds were so uncomfortable that we ended up leaving to sleep elsewhere. Asked twice for a room with more comfortable beds and was told I would have to speak with the manager in the morning?!? That was obviously not very helpful... The next day called again and was told all the beds are the same in all rooms and that they are all “firm”.... which was just a fancy word for old and impossible to sleep on!
Extremely disappointed in cleaninliness of hotel room floors. They were sticky, gritty and appeared they have not been cleaned , mopped in very long time. Bed sheets were old and worn..very rough feeling and scratchy on skin. Toilet stopped flushing on 2nd day there.
the hotel was great just what I like. Ôceanfront view was the best part of the hotel.
Hotel staff was pleasant, hotel is dirty and dated.
We arrived early but our room was ready. The hotel was peaceful and clean but in need of some updates on the interior. The bathroom door was warped on the bottom and would not close fully. This didn't matter for just the two of us but might matter to others.The living room lamp did not work, the one on the wall you had to turn the bulb to get it to come on as the switch was broken. The coffeepot was rusted on the plate but worked. It was clean, the housekeeping staff was wonderful and the amenities were good. Every staff member I had contact with was polite and professional. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and coffee enough for 2 pots is provided daily if wanted.
When previously stayed at Sandcastle, we were not disappointed; which is why I booked with them again this vacation trip. Upon arriving, we were placed in the wrong room & didn't have amenities requested; called down & got straightened out. In Correct room, it was okay, but realized that it wasn't had previously stayed in (amenity wise) and didn't feel like trying to move rooms again, or mess w/all reservations; so we toughed it out. ISSUES: The bathroom fan sounded like NASA getting ready for lift off; caulking needs replaced, shower head leaked. The microwave sometimes worked, but had no stop/cancel button that worked. The floor wasn't the cleanest, like hadn't been swept in awhile. ALL the outlets were about ready to fall out the wall, making charging electronics at times, impossible. The balcony had paint peeling from the floor. NO kitchen space to wash dishes Positives: oceanfront with balcony. could use kitchen.
Hotel was right on the beach.The parking was good. 7 "pools" included 4? hot tubs, usually packed with kids. There were 2 men who we observed sleeping on the pool chairs well into the night. The pool area had several broken chairs. The fridge in our unit had mysterious chunks on the shelves. The range top was dirty. Of course we washed all the dishes before and after use. The outdoor drain on the A/C unit backed up onto the balcony so we had to have a pile of towels on the floor to avoid tracking water into the room. Please, bleach the floor of the shower! I do not know WHY we paid a mandatory $15 per night "resort fee".
Showed up early for check in and was told to come back at 4:00. At 5:15 the room was still not ready and was told, check in STARTS at 4:00 with out any idea when it might be ready. With that exclusion they don't need to provide the room to you at any particular time. No other room available. No cancelation w/o losing deposit. Staff rude. Management rude. And to top it off, our room had no shower curtain.
Housekeeper was extremely nice and helpful! They made sure we had everything that we needed. Even went out of their way to get my son a drink when the coke machine failed. Hotel was directly on the beach. Loved it! Had a great time! Little older hotel, but we were hardly in doors. BEST parking in the area!
No water for showers or to flush restroom with Hotel very old and dirty, we left early
This was the worst experience I've had.... They lost my reservation and we're Rude about it ... not accomadating...not knowledable of the area or the offerings of their site. And complimenting me on my jewelery didn't make me feel better
Excellent staff, great location. Building was a little outdated but the rooms were very clean.
Well, we decided to celebrate our 8 yr. anniversary & we arrived on Saturday 5/6/17 4:30ish. The clientele staying were rude, pushy. I believe there was a local event the previous week not sure what, note to self we won't check-in on the first Saturday of May the next time we decide to stay in MBSC. After our first night we woke to a horrible experience, would never had expected to experience BEDBUGS! We woke 7:30 & pulled the covers back as we got out of bed & when I returned to the bed is when I noticed the bedbug. I immediately took pictures & picked it up with a tissue & delivered it to the front desk. We wanted to checkout but the desk personnel said being we had booked through a 3rd party we could not get a refund, and couldn't be moved up to the sister hotel up the street. So the lady at the desk said she would get housekeeping on it & assign us to another room. We waited in our room for notification when we were going to be moved until10:30am. I then went down to the front desk and was finally given a key to our new room. We went from the 14th to the 8th floor which wasn't a bad thing. Immediately upon checking in our new room. We stripped the beds & inspected, we found no evidence of the critters. The 2 people at the front desk seemed not too concerned with our situation; as if it was a normal thing they deal with. After Saturday afternoon & into Sunday morning events things mellowed out; the rest of our stay we were constantly on the lookout.
