Island Inn Beach Resort

"we’ve stayed here a few times and it’s very nice and close to the beach and we love the bar and pool. Unfortunately, our room we stayed in this time was completely falling apart. Rusty doors were closet used to be, pictures on the floor that used to be hung on the walls, tile floor was broken, the shower was dirty and gross and the floor was very dirty and slick. My baby slip and hit his head several times. when we book the room it said it’d be $450 after tax it seemed very steep, considering we booked not that long ago for half that price. When I asked at the front desk why it was so expensive? along with all the construction going on. She said it was cause it was spring break. in February? I highly doubt it. if you’re gonna charge these kind of prices, you better have more amenities in the waiting room not construction everywhere and lots of dust and you need to upgrade all your rooms and give them a good deep clean. i’ve seen nicer properties here I guess they are independent owned, but I would not book directly through them again. Unless they are going to update all their rooms and deep clean them as well"

"Buyer beware. Room is fine, pretty view, but the resort does not have hot water for showers. When presented with the problem, the front desk reaction was, "Yeah, sorry about that." Full price stay for construction noise (they were fully transparent about that) and no hot water."

"My husband and I stayed only one night recently and we would never stay there again nor would we ever recommend this place. The entire facility interior and exterior was filthy, falling apart, exposed wires, peeling paint, horrible carpets, missing tiles in our room, cabinetry falling apart, rust in several places, and there was a terrible odor in our room. The desk agent gave us a key card to an already occupied room and when we opened the door and discovered this it was shocking and I’m sure invasive to the guests already in that room. The desk agent offered no apologies, and he was very unprofessional as well."

"My husband and I stayed here for one night and would have liked to stay longer! The hotel is pretty outdated and you will see some rust and peeling paint (keep the price point in mind). But the room setup is perfect! Double bed and a kitchenette with mini fridge, two burner stove and cabinets with dishes, glasses, silverware and utensils for your use. Would be great for a longer stay. Our view of the beach wasn't direct but we could still see it from our balcony. The pool and pool bar were closed for construction, but I knew that when I booked. This is the section of Gulf Blvd where the hotels are older and privately-owned- and generally pretty retro. So this one fits right into the neighborhood. Beach access is great as it's far less crowded than the public beaches. The two staff members we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. Parking is ample. Looking forward to staying here again once the remodeling is done!"

"I booked room 504 privately for 3 months. I signed the agreement not knowing there would be construction going on. Based on the construction, I decided to cancel. 6 days a week of noise, dust, pool closed and no elevators. I contacted the owners for my $1200US. I was told that my deposit was not refundable. I was so disappointed as I planned my winter there. The unit is not posted at all on airbnb as they can't rent the unit under these circumstances. I believe that this very unfair to me. Be careful booking #504."
