I didn't receive a VIP benefit. Generally, Expedia VIP hotels offer room upgrades, and a hotel amenity. None of which I received. The front desk staff needs serious improvement especially the manager on staff when I stayed. He has zero customer service for the amount of money we spent at this hotel.

Thin walls, bland rooms.

The walls must be as thin as a single sheet of drywall- you can hear absolutely every work either of your neighbors are saying. I’ve been in a lot of hotel rooms, this by far was the worst, most awkward and uncomfortable.

When I arrived I was upgraded for free to an ocean front room, but the elevators were broken, so I chose a lower level so I didn’t have to climb the stairs. I moreso had a view of the back seating area than I did the ocean. The first morning, my bathroom suddenly began to smell awful, like something had died in the wall and was decaying. I requested maintenance come check it out and then didn’t hear anything for hours until I called down and asked to switch rooms. I was then moved to an even lower floor. But, the hotel itself is beautiful, smells nice, great decor, extremely comfy beds. The coffee was good but seemed to upset my stomach. The outside was gorgeous. The great lawn was peaceful and serene and wonderful for families. The sitting area was filled with comfy outdoor couches and umbrellas, pool was nice, outdoor bar was nice with great drinks. The restaurant and bar were beautiful and the drinks delicious, but food was mediocre at best. I’m glad I experienced this hotel and I did enjoy my stay for the most part but I’m not sure I’d stay there again just due to the bathroom stench I experienced and the food just didn’t sit will with my stomach. Oh, service was wonderful aside from not hearing back about the smell in the bathroom. Someone was almost always available downstairs to answer question or ask how they can help. Staff was amazing!

The hotel property is a great location, clean rooms. I rebooked amenities that I had to call and go to the front desk 3 times before they arrived. We booked a movie night with popcorn never received that, booked a massage and it took 2 days for us to hear back with an appointment confirmation, I booked another night with the front desk and was told my room was confirmed then the very next day the manager on duty told us that the room was never booked and we were expected to immediately get up and move rooms. I’m sorry but that’s not the type Of customer service I expect to receive. If someone confirms the room with me I should be able to stay in the room. I have fell ill on my trip and had to extend for another day and switching rooms was a very big inconvenience for me. The staff needs serious training in customer service. This is already a pricey hotel and you expect to have a better experience. Especially since this is an Expedia VIP property and I’m also a Marriott reward member
