Perfect, convenient location. Amazing views from balcony. Absolutely horrific mattresses. Barely any outlets. Had to strip all beds and take out all of the trash before 10 am checkout.

Good afternoon,We are sorry to hear that you weren't completely satisfied with your stay! We do appreciate your feedback. We are in the process of updating rooms and mattresses are definitely on the list, so we hope you will give us another try. Since we are a timeshare, you are renting real-estate so our policy is a little different than a full- service hotel. We just have a tiny request that you place your trash that is in the trash can by the door and strip the bed. Thank you and we hope to see you again!

Won’t stay again
Room was not as posted on the website. Room was not updated and was in bad shape. We were moved to a room on bottom floor that was better but it was so noisy at night we didn’t get much sleep. Too many codes to use just to get out to the beach it was kind of over kill.

Good afternoon!Thank you for your review. We are sorry your stay was not as desired! We did promptly move you to the exact room you saw online that you thought you were booking, so that you would have a better stay. We hope this free upgrade was a little perk to your stay.The codes on the gates are for everyone's safety and privacy here. We would not be able to tell you the amount of people who just walk up and try to cut through our pool to get through to the beach. The codes on the gates have completely stopped these trespassers. If you choose not to use the gates to get through to the beach, the sea wall in parking lot does have a permanent break in the wall that does not have a gate or closure on it that will allow you to step right out onto the beach. We hope you will try us again in the future, but please feel free to call us directly so that you will get the exact room that you are looking at online!

Kingfisher Inn fotos are mis-representation
My booked room was nothing close to the fotos of updated rooms. My one bedroom was straight out of 1980’s - furnishings were old, dingy and uncomfortable. Complete mis-representation from the photos on Hotels.com. Hotel is also directly beside the Garden City pier - so not a quiet stay if that is what you are looking for. Though my service with front/house keeping was excellent, I will not stay here again.

Staff was friendly. Location was great. Noticed a dirty wash cloth hanging on top of shower curtain. When we stripped sheets as asked to do before leaving, we noticed what had to have been a huge urine stain on the mattress cover. We reported it to the staff on check out so hopefully housekeeping will not slack next time.

Good morning, We are so sorry- we have addressed this issue and can promise it will not happen again. We know it is no excuse, but it was a new employee and has definitely been taken care of. This does not meet our standards. Most of our housekeepers have been here 25-30 years and we will always strive for excellence! We hope to see you again!

Overall satisfied with stay. The place definitely could use some upgrades due to everything being dated and parking is a nightmare due to spacing. Great view of beach and ocean and penthouse suite has a spectacular view off the huge balcony which overlooks the garden city pier and busy streets. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. Sta

We are so happy to hear you were satisfied with your stay! We have been working really hard to keep the parking spaces available just to our guests. Please remember there is a bigger parking lot on the side of building, if you cant find anything in the front. We look forward to seeing you again!

I loved my stay. However, it was the second time that the property had trouble with payment from Expedia and it was a bit of a hassle.

Thought we would have a balcony with this unit. Otherwise the accommodations were as advertised.

Thanks for staying with us! So you know for the future- all of our studio units only have a standing balcony. Please feel free to call us to make sure next time you book that your unit has a sit-out balcony!
