Elevator was old, slow and seemed to stall. Housekeeping was slow cleaning the rooms and did not put enough towels/wash cloths in bathrooms. Check/In took over 1 hour. Service was just poor.

Check in took forever. TV's received poor reception, microwave in room wouldn't even pop popcorn, no maid service 1 day, even after calling housekeeping twice. Trash in the hallways and around the pool. I only saw someone in the mornings walking around cleaning up.

VERY dirty.

Incompentent staff.

Loud neighbors, thin walls...people next door to us were smoking POT in the non-smoking room next to ours which wafted under the adjoining door to our room.

Exterior was worn, cracked, and moldy... I was glad to r

We have stayed here for the past 4 yrs and every year we have stayed in a different room (our choice)!! Last year we stayed in the 3bedroom Sandlapper. We will stay in this room again this year. We are a family of 4 with a 7 yr old and a 6 yr old

I really liked the full size appliances although we did not have to use them. The rooms were not clean and you could actually see mold on some spots. I was glad I always travel with Lysol spray and believe me it was needed. The balcony offered a

When I read some of the reviews, the week before my vacation I almost cancelled my trip. I was excepting the worst. However, we stayed at the Driftwood we had a fully equipped kitchen on the 10th floor and it looked just like the picture in the ad. We did the family package where we got the parks included. My kids are 20 and 21 these family packages are intended for the little kids. However, they did have fun at the water park. I think the sea mist is alittle run down but you can see that they are in process of changes. The elevator needs improvement and need more of them. Overall I say it was an OK vacation.

I liked the value package, clean room, nice staff, and all you have to do!The gift shop staff was not so friendly, and no shuttle service anywhere's. This is a great place to stay in if you have kids. The room was clean, the floor was a little...

We made last min. reservations for our family and pet @ Sea Mist hoping to enjoy a relaxing fun beach trip. When we arrived to our room we were disgusted by the appearance outside as well as in. We are currently in our room doing the only thing that is comfortable here...SLEEP! The beds are comfortable and the sheets are clean, but the floors, the walls, the baseboards, the exterior are so stained from very neglectful housekeeping. We are in a room that allows pets so that our baby Boston Terrier can also enjoy a vacation. Maybe the other rooms oceanfront are better, but this room is a dump! Guests traveling with dogs aren't neccesarily animals themselves! Housekeeping is definitely an issue. Our dog is cleaner than some of the human neighbors we have seen lingering around. (which I assume is from the very affordable family packages, so ANYONE can end up here) ICKY!!! Do not stay before you check it out!!! The kids and us are wearing our flip flops inside @ all times, even as soon as we step out of the shower. What's keeping me from going to the front desk and complaining is the short time that we are here, and the headache that follows by listening to excuses. We will continue to shower and sleep and escape to the beach.

Reviews here are pretty much spot-on. we went in expecting a dirty room (it was) and lousy parking (it was) and cheesy amaenities (they were). Even with our lowered expectations, we were dissappointed - 3 Steps Down restaurant (they call it a "Grill and Tavern", but I call it a "dump") should be closed for pretending to be a restaurant. Parking was hysterically bad, but not fatal. The mini-golf we got for free? well, there was a reason it was free. The water park on the corner of Ocean and 13th was OK at best - not enough seats and busy, but very good staff and it was pretty clean. The hotel room was gritty.

Never, ever going back.
