Hotels in Parkside

"We were in town for a one night stay before a cruise. We were excited to check in and start our vacation. I greeted the woman at the desk and asked her how she was . Her response was "I'm in pain." Oh, ok. Sorry to hear that. And I was. But that is not who the hotel needs making a first impression. I was immediately felt let down and almost guilty to be excited. She said they have rooms available then but it would be $25 for an early check in. We have traveled all over the US and 25 countries in Europe and I have never heard of an "early check in charge". We just paid it so we could get to exploring the hotel and area. One of the things I was excited about was the one bar and restaurant they had inside, it is a really cool retro nautical theme. We were disappointed to find out it was closed all day. So a hotel has one indoor restaurant and it's closed all day on a weekend? They have one other snack bar type restaurant out by the pool but the rain looked like a sure thing anytime. We walked around the rest of the property and it just looked run down. Paint chipping, pool furniture worn out, pool water looked dirty. The next morning at 6:30 we were awakened to an ear deafening sound of a fire alarm. Everyone had to evacuate. We stood by while the fire trucks came and it was declared a false alarm, the system is not working properly. We went back up to our room and two hours later the same fire alarm happened. Instead of feeling refreshed for our cruise were were tired/stressed."
