Refund please

I reserved a room because I had to check in at the hospital very early morning and did not want to drive three hours that morning. I drove down after work, arriving late at night, no one was in the lobby and a note was on the door that said Welcome please call phone number. I called several times with no answer and the voice mail was full so unable to leave message. I even text the number. I ended up having to find a different hotel that night. The next day I received a message saying We do apologize. We can give you credit I’m sorry I should get a full refund!!

Great location. Wish rooms were cleaner, and more fans accessible for people staying. Customer service aspect, we had to wait for someone to come and help us. We called and no one answered, open sign was posted on door but no one was inside, no sign stating they would return shortly. Quite a bit frustrating when your trying to check in.

Parking was an issue. The guest were a bit loud but its basically a party area. Great location! Beach two blocks away. The hotel was a bit run down but had it's charm. My only comlaint was parking and a not so great running toilet, a plugged tub and no A/C. Otherwise friendly staff and great location. don't expect the Marriot, it has an old beach charm to it.
