7. Horrible service, room smelled like a shoe, when we asked to be moved, they said they had no rooms, went on Priceline and booked another room to prove that they lied.

10. Hotel exterior, lobby, location, and beach are all beautiful and great, but our room was literally filled with mold and mildew, visible everywhere and smelled horrible, like walking into an RV trailer that had been locked up all winter with water leaks then opened for the first time in Spring.
