"Even in the deepest valleys, there are pits".. this could be the perfect analogy for this nightmare.
We found this property through WestsideRentals and after getting the manager's phone number, we decided to drive there as she never picked up the phone.
It looked like we almost disturbed Jamie Walsh, the Scottish manager, when we arrived but she rented us a room.
We payed $700 for a week, with a window facing the construction next door. The workers replaced efficiently the alarm clock that.. didn't exist.
The room was redone and clean, but this was only an illusion as they do not clean the rooms. You need to ask the manager to ask the maid to come over. The first time, she didn't do it because she was not sure she would have time. Of course, the progress is pretty slow when you clean while on the cell phone, so doing all the rooms in a day is a challenge.
We also had to clean our own towels, etc but they told us that upfront. After all, what should we expect at $100 a night..
The phone and the internet connection worked only on the day of our departure, which was handy to find another hotel. From our little enquiry, it seemed like they hadn't paid the bill. Maybe if the manager wasn't busy chatting with her friends and promoting her hair extension business, the hotel would be run a bit better.
My request to have an electric outlet fixed sparked a problem because I made the mistake to ask one of the maintenance person and he talked to the owner. Something Jamie doesn't allow in her realm for fear her doings might be discovered.
When I wanted to contact the owner, things got even worse...
On our first day, we were told that the hotel doesn't take reservations, but, of course, our room was conveniently reserved soon after it was discovered we intended to complain...
In short, nothing works, the manager is rude and spends lots of energy to make sure the owner is not kept up to date with what is happening.
The location on the other hand is nice, but I would recommend to set up a tent on the beach instead.
