The blue strawberry gets an A for cleanliness and a C- for antiquated rooms. The cabinets in the kitchenette were from the 1050’s. Overall, the whole hotel is in need of a complete renovation! The air conditioning was as loud as a freight train, so loud that you could barely hear the TV. The pool gunite needs to be stripped and refinished as it’s flaking off in the pool.

Thank goodness I was there for the fellowship with my dear friend, beach time & good food! My 1st room was cleaned just before I entered and I found dark hair in a few areas of the bathroom. The bathroom window had a torn screen big enough for an arm to fit through. I took pics in disbelief! And I was unable to lock it securely. I was on the 1st floor. My room key/card was unreliable and I was locked out. The office was notified of my concerns and ultimately gave me a different room. Better room with kitchenette upgrade for no extra fee, but still on 1st floor and I couldn’t see out of the peephole. I had the do not disturb sign on the outside side of my door and house keeping entered anyway and took one of my personal towels out! What?! I did again notify the office and my towel was retrieved. Would not go back or recommend.
