NASTY PLACE! DO NOT STAY AT!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/14/10
I stayed with my family for a Valentines day getaway with the kids and thought having a nice dinner and swimming would be fun...I was so wrong! The food was so over priced and it was FREEZING in the restaurant and hotel! We complained and they said that they only turn the heat on the lower level b/c there isn't enough ppl there to heat the top floor?! Are you kidding?! and of course our room was on the top floor! We made them move us to the lower level, so we wouldn't freeze to death when we walked out of out room into the hallway! That room had bugs and a trail of ants! Once again they said. "It's winter what do you expect?!" "They come in for warmth." Going to the pool, it was FREEZING! The pool is only divided by a glass that only goes down half way and all the outside water is coming into the inside area! We couldn't swim. The pool area and hot tub area were just a mess. There were all these ppl there that were not staying, they were with others that were staying there. That was annoying. Going back to our room, my son laid down on the bed and I looked down and there was this huge BLOOD trail going down the side of the bed!!! I freaked out! grabbed him and yelled to my Husband get our stuff we are leaving now!
We got the kids out of there and my Husband made them give our money back to our card, and got out of there!
After new ownership I went back with a friend to the bar area and everything was still horrible, new management didn't matter, it was a run down dumpy place. The dock had fallen in for cryin out loud! A lady I worked with, used to work there and she said she quit because it was so nasty. During the Summer it is nothing but a big drunken fest there. DO NOT go there with your family during fourth of July...Everyone is drunk 24/7 in the lobby, bar, restaurant, pool, grounds, parking lot, it is so unfit for kids to be around. There is nothing to do around it at all anyway, so my advice is to go to the homewood suites on 37! They are awesome! and its so nice!
