Aweful
No hot water in shower bed like a hammock, no ventilation over the stove, everything is in terrible condition , very poor service. We were beyond pissed. The address was wrong as well. The 'rugs' on the floor by the bed were IKEA bathroom mats. The room smelled like harsh cleaner. I could go on ---just do not go there.
Book anywhere but here!
I booked Myerside Sandy Beach for a 2 week stay in January through booking.com. It was supposed to be a dbl room with balcony. Upon arrival there was one bed pushed up against the wall which I wouldn't even consider full size. No closet, no dresser, bathroom for midgets, outdated, moldy smell, and DIRTY! Balcony across the hall. I cancelled the booking through booking.com. Agreed to pay $118.75 cancellation fee... no way was I staying there! Came home from vacation to see that they charged the full $2287.98. Owner would not return my phone calls. Contacted booking. com, got the run around from them also for 5 weeks! Finally had to file claim with my credit card of fraud and let them deal with the mess. BEWARE!
Misleading
To begin with, when we arrived to check in, the lobby was locked and there was a sign on the window instructing if you needed to check in, to call the number. The staff over the phone was friendly, but the entire check in process was done over the phone. Then, when entering the room, we had to step down into the room and my husband almost hit his head on the doorway. Apparently, this place isn’t meant for anyone over 5 foot. The bathroom had a moldy shower curtain and the shower head was ridiculous placed. We both had to hunch underneath it to be able to wash our faces and hair. The photos of the listing are misleading. It makes it seem like it’s beach front when it really isn’t. It is a only a short walk down a road to then the access entrance. The cleanliness of the room was definitely poor being that there was even a roach roaming on the wall. When we were getting into bed pulling the top sheets back, we found smeared blood or feces on the bed sheets. At this point, my husband started searching for bedbugs (he used to do this professionally), but he did not find any. There was another couple we had bumped into and they were taking photos of the same height issues they were experiencing.
Motel needs work
My wife and I stayed in #13 from 3/28-3/30 (left a day early...). The room was small and dingy - the previous guest's coffee grounds were still in the coffeemaker, which is indicative of the cleanliness of the room. The bed was squeaky and the room was right on the street - traffic sounds all night long. Short walk to the beach - unfortunately covered with smelly algae from red tide. Bikes were rusty and unusable. My advice: Spend a little more and get a better place.
