We chose to stay at Lagoon City Pier One Resort while house hunting in the area, as it was our preferred location and we wanted to avoid driving into the city. Unfortunately, our experience at this resort was deeply disappointing.
We arrived at 2 pm, which was early for check-in, so we understood that our room wouldn’t be ready until the designated 4 pm time. We decided to wait at the onsite restaurant, where the service was excellent—a promising start to what we hoped would be a pleasant stay.
However, things took a turn for the worse when we returned at 4 pm to check into our room. Despite it being the official check-in time, our room was still not ready, and we were left waiting until 4:30 pm to finally receive our keys. Upon entering the room, we were appalled by the level of cleanliness—or rather, the lack thereof. The room was filthy, with no towels provided and long black hair clinging to the walls and in the shower. It was clear that the cleaning staff were more interested in lounging on the patios smoking than attending to their responsibilities.
After seeing the condition of the first room and the inadequate cleanliness of the “upgraded” room we were moved to, we decided that staying at this resort was not worth the trouble. We promptly checked out and found accommodations elsewhere, which, though not as conveniently located, provided a far superior experience in terms of service and cleanliness.
