Beachfront Palms Resort an Ascend Collection Hotel
"Wasn’t not the same motel we stayed at before. The room was dirty, furniture out of place. It was disappointing. The price point was 4 times what it was worth. We’ll look for a different hotel on our next trip. The one good thing was the breakfast. It was still good."

There was lots of mold, lots of cracks all over the place. It smelled like urine. When I first entered ..."
