Bad Mold
Horrible experience! The hallways were nasty. The room smelled like mold and just old everything.! Roaches throughout the hotel, dead and tons of spiders. The Whole Jacuzzi look like it had dirt stains, Looks like it has never been cleaned. And the beach that’s attached to the hotel was in horrible condition and not kept the boards with nail sticking up everywhere and broken glass. Couldn’t even utilize the beach at all. They did offer to give us a third room, but at this point with how severe the mold was that just means it’s everywhere in that hotel and my daughter is highly allergic to mold

Didnt enjoy my stay
When i got into my room the air conditioner was leaking water then i had to wait over an hour to get a new room. Then my new room didnt have hot water. The staff made me feel like they could care less. For the price i paid for the room i could of stay at a red roof for cheaper in a nicer room and services.

Disappointed
I only gave a star because the room actually had AC and was cool but I won’t be back, especially with my son. We rented for close to $200 for a pool side room and kids from a dance were running the halls late, the floors were extremely dirty and smelled, bathrooms gross, people smoking drugs, and it was hot inside. Couldn’t even enjoy the games set out. VERY disappointed on our stay. I almost took my family and left. Even the outside by the beach was scary in the dark areas. People roaming everywhere and not so friendly. This place used to be so pretty but not anymore. If you are okay with all the above, our bed was ok and the ax worked but the tv wouldn’t work, nor the Wi-Fi.

A few things we liked, there is a nice big swimming pool, with a big hot tub and games. This area is really spacious. The rooms have a fridge and microwave which is rare in hotels these days. A few things we didn’t like, our room had mold on the walls. Once we informed hotel staff we were moved to a new room without any hassle. This is beach front property but the beach was very nasty, full of seaweed and trash. No chairs or loungers for beach either. Parking is not the best. You pay for parking which isn’t a problem but there is also an event center and those guest are allowed to use the same parking space which doesn’t leave any room for guest. We had to park around back next to a different hotel and walk to ours. I spoke with management and they understood my concerns. The property is old but functional. I hear they are about to go under renovations soon.

Wish it wasn’t, but it was..
The hotel from the start, had an awful smell in the lobby. Getting checked in, was a pretty easy, however within 10 minutes of getting into my first room, the sink didn’t drain, and the white pillows had yellow stains. I told the front desk, and they moved me to another room. The second room appeared to be better at first however the microwave didn’t work, and the shower leaked all over the floor. I then I had to leave early due to unforeseen circumstances. And when I informed the front desk he stated I had to speak with Hotels.com to get the refund. He then stated “well I’m not able approve refunds” after Hotels.com tried speaking with them. Theee days later, I’m informed that I will not be getting a refund because emerald beach already used it. Hopefully they used it on bleach to clean white bedding. The roof also leaks in the pool/game room. The best part of the stay, was the bar, it made it easier to ignore the dirty and bad smell surroundings within the hotel.

Reserved 2 rooms and wasn’t able to check in until 6pm when originally was supposed to be 4pm. One room A/C didn’t work, the fan was blowing but not cold and there were no other rooms to move to as they were not done cleaning any other rooms at the time. Parking was ridiculous to find, we had to drive around for 30 minutes just waiting for someone to leave as there wasn’t enough parking in the paid parking area. The staff were great and the walk path to the beach was convenient. The place has really gone down hill from the past few times we’ve stayed there. I’m not sure what has happened but we will not be revisiting this place when others are available nearby for less.

Labor Day Weekend
We couldn't check in at 1:30 pm like we hoped but guaranteed check in was at 4. We came in to town for a wedding. We checked in about 10:45 pm. Parking was not include but we couldn't find a place to park anywhere so we ended parking in the Holiday Inn. We got to our and it was nice and clean. A few stray hairs were found in the bathroom, otherwise it was clean. The outlet on the lamp didn't work so we used the one on the table. The ac was set to 50 but felt like 80. I understand it takes rooms longer to cool during hot summer days and we weren't sweating but it was warm. Overall, it was quiet and we all slept good. Breakfast was a small table of pastries and coffee, not much there. Check out was easy.
