Shame

Hotel was non smoking and the room smelled like cigarettes as soon as we walked in. The man at the front desk said “he’ll spray it down” in a pinch my family and I just left the theme park near by after 12 hours we wiped everything with Lysol and went to sleep and left early this morning

The pictures were very deceiving. The pool wasn’t working either and that was half the reason we booked here. The room was clean and had a modern vibe to it which was nice. But it was pretty hot and only one half of the room would seem to cool down even with the air down on 60.

We checked in and left all in the same ten minutes without a refund. My son’s asthma was set off by the terrible smell of the cleaning products and they refused to refund our money saying I needed to contact Orbitz for this. Orbitz called for them to release our funds and they refused to authorize the release so ultimately they gave me the run around instead of just telling me themselves they wouldn’t refund. The pictures are deceiving on how much this motel has been updated. In fact the pictures need to be updated. The sand volleyball court has nothing but weeds growing in it. The mattresses are brownish yellow and they are using the pool house to store them which you can see them piled up through the windows. The sheets and bedding are stained. While the rooms have been updated with new paint, flooring, and furniture, the mattresses were disgusting. There were no amenities in the room other than a TV. The lighting in the room was terrible and there was no security lock once we were in the room. When we asked if coffee was available in the lobby we were told what was in the pot has been there since the morning and we shouldn’t drink it. For the same money go stay in a real hotel and just avoid this one all together. The fact that it’s close to Presque Isle is not worth it.

When we checked there were extra fees, the staff gave us dirty towels to take into the room. The room was filthy and the bathroom had someone’s pubic hairs all over the shower walls and the shower spout did not work. The room had an awful stench and the bedding(which was just 2 sheets, not comforters and there were stains all over the bedding. The refrigerator freezer was not taken care of and completely ice build up. Not trash bags in trash cans and not ice bucket liners to get ice. It was not a nice place to stay. Extremely disappointed!
