I booked this motel thorough Expedia in hopes I would recieve a "quality hotel" as stated on Expedia's website. I never thought I would be put in a very unsafe location. I booked the hotel as part of my vacation in hopes I would be remotely close to the beach. The hotel is within three miles of the beach, however the closest route has you passing through a very unsafe part of the area. I would definitely not suggest walking. Within the first fifteen minutes of arriving the foot traffic and bike traffic in front of the motel would suggest this is a main route where vagrants commute. Again. I would not suggest walking in this area. I have posted a picture of the view from the pool which is what appears to be very low income apartments possibly even public housing. The apartments are no less than 300 feet from the pool and hotel. I arrived at Atlantic Beach three hours before check-in time and voiced my concerns about booking a hotel in the area with the front desk employee and her response was: "We do not do refunds or exchanges of any kind for rooms booked by Expedia." I even stated I would gladly pay a penalty just to get a partial refund and was told "We can cancel your room but you will not receive any money back." Besides the Major concerns above once I got into the room there were stains on the bedsheets and pillowcase. The room smells very badly of mold and/or some sort of water damage. The two positive things I can say about the hotel is that the staff was professional and the cookies provided in the lobby are excellent.
