There was no housekeeping throughout the stay. Had to hunt down someone fur towels and other things. We paid 1300 for the week. Overall it was subpar . They should be able to handle clean towels every day and terrible water usage. The tub would back up when taking a shower and take forever to drain. When the sink was run the tub would backup too. They need to do a better job accommodating the guests.

Room was not ready until after 5 but it didn’t really bother us. The rooms are a little outdated. Furniture not very comfortable with 1 small TV in the living area. Bed wasn’t too bad. Overall a nice place to stay for a weekend getaway. GREAT LOCATION! Close to souvenir shop and places to eat.. you will have to go out a bit if you want breakfast though. The restaurants near by did not serve breakfast. We will definitely return in the future.

My room wasn't ready at check in due to a change in the cleaning company and we waited for hours. I was compensated 50.00 gift card and 4 passes to the fishing pier. Although I don't feel its adequate I do understand they tried. I was however very impressed when we walked in the room. It was newly renovated and nicer than any photos online. I would definitely go back as long as I have an updated room. Parking is very limited and tight right in front of the Hotel. Overall I was satisfied and liked being right next to the pier.

Overall satisfied with stay. The place definitely could use some upgrades due to everything being dated and parking is a nightmare due to spacing. Great view of beach and ocean and penthouse suite has a spectacular view off the huge balcony which overlooks the garden city pier and busy streets. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. Sta

Staff was friendly. Location was great. Noticed a dirty wash cloth hanging on top of shower curtain. When we stripped sheets as asked to do before leaving, we noticed what had to have been a huge urine stain on the mattress cover. We reported it to the staff on check out so hopefully housekeeping will not slack next time.

Kingfisher Inn fotos are mis-representation

My booked room was nothing close to the fotos of updated rooms. My one bedroom was straight out of 1980’s - furnishings were old, dingy and uncomfortable. Complete mis-representation from the photos on Hotels.com. Hotel is also directly beside the Garden City pier - so not a quiet stay if that is what you are looking for. Though my service with front/house keeping was excellent, I will not stay here again.

Won’t stay again

Room was not as posted on the website. Room was not updated and was in bad shape. We were moved to a room on bottom floor that was better but it was so noisy at night we didn’t get much sleep. Too many codes to use just to get out to the beach it was kind of over kill.
