I booked two rooms that said they sleep three each. When we arrived each room had one king bed and they had no third sleeping space and no rollaway beds. Three people who are over six foot two had to sleep sideways on a bed it was ridiculous

My GF and I stayed here the wknd of 06/13 & 06/14 we have stayed here previously and we ENJOYED it and that is why I booked it again. Unfortunately this time the room we got had a little problem with the sink the water would stagnate,take long to drain and to make matters worst we encountered a HUGE roach i our room.

Although this is an older hotel, and despite the many times we've stayed here before, we've never encountered any issues. If you’re fortunate enough to relax at the pool, I want to give a special shoutout to an employee named Richie, who provided outstanding customer service. Thank you, Richie, for your exceptional service.

I've stayed here many times & it's always positive. This past weekend, I had a one night stay. I hadn't seen the bathroom well after checking in, and found there was blood on the wall, the tub, by the bathroom trash can & the shower curtian. I also found a speck of blood on the lampshade in the room. I know I should have reported it immediately, but I didn't want to make a big deal as it was late & was just one night. I cleaned up the areas myself, except the curtain & lampshade because I was not gonna use it as is. There was no way you could miss the blood if you cleaned the room. Little drops, very visible and obvious. I just want staff to know that room 203 was not cleaned at all & this is very unsanitary. Please throw the shower curtain away and look into this.

Love this place, the parking the pool and the access to food by the pool. I wish the pool would play better music, some of the tunes could be a bit more up beat. Been here over a dozen times, that’s my only suggestion, the music in the pool area could use a revamp.

Do not recommend this Hotel

All I can say is the people at the REEF, are very rude, insulting and I cannot believe that you have people working there behaving the way they behave. There’s an older woman that works there that is very rude and I was sitting out by the pool and there was a woman in the pool and she told me she’s been there twice and that lady, is always very very rude to her and I went to the front desk and I talked to the desk clerk and wanted the manager‘s name because this is not the way to be treated. We’ve been going there for over 10 years and the Man at the front desk told me that they get numerous reports on her about her behavior so I don’t understand why she continues to insult people and be rude, yell at people and at this point, my husband and myself we don’t ever want to go back there and we’ve been going there, for over 10 years but because of the way we’re treated and the service we get …..We’re looking for another hotel. Also, just want to add that the gentleman at the front desk would not give me the owners name and my husband and myself have met the owner and he’s taken us to the other restaurant that’s there, but the gentleman at the front desk told me that he has never seen the owner, no info from him… There wasn’t any further. I could really go with this. 😩

Hotel is outdated and the air conditioning wasn’t great. I understand that central air isn’t an option in a property this old. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.
