All the small details missed

Unfortunately we have several comments on the room. The price for one night was great, but what happened after, paying the extra money usually gives us a perfect stay. Bed was hard. I awoke with a stiff back/neck. Only two light fluffy pillows for a couple given. The refrigerator is right in front of the ac. It turned the whole refrigerator into a freezer. The remote control didnt work. Those little things makes you not want you to stay again. Thank you.

Everything was really good and the staff was kind and friendly. The pool area was incredible as well as quiet. The one thing I would say was there were a fair amount of insects in the room

Good basic accommodation for a short stay. There were a number of flies and mosquitos in the room, because there was a noticeable gap under the door to the room and no screen on the bathroom window which was left slightly open. The A/C worked well, overall fine if you just need a place to sleep for the night.

Our floor in our room was pretty dirty. Not beach sand either which I could write off to a point. A moment out of the shower after our return from the pier and feet were absolutely black. Crust and dirt all over the floor. So wasn't the bath mat they provided to stand on after us showering. A few dead bugs didn't bother us. The beds were clean. Sheets were clean. A little loud. The speaker on the TV in our room was blown so it was a bit fuzzy to listen to at night before winding down. We also had no air conditioner in our room. At the time the fan was the only part working and the AC was making some questionable sounds and wouldn't turn over so we decided to turn off for the night. We only were staying for the night 4th of July. So nothing that could be fixed during our one night stay. Owner was super friendly. Was not able to speak on other staff during our short time. Will probably try to book somewhere else in a much earlier time frame next time. It's nearly been five nights and I have yet to receive our $50 deposit back. Hoping to hear back on that. Also our 5-year-old accompanied us And we were charged a $16 fee on top of the 150+ although the property states that the fees for ages over five not under five. So slightly misleading. Otherwise it wasn't my worst experience but I was hoping for better.
