Overall the stay was great! Just hate the parking, you have to go almost a block over to be able to work and during my stay the ended up cutting the elevator off without any warnings nor did they tell us, we had to figure it out on our own. Front desk was very clear with instructions, check in was smooth and they give you free buffet breakfast which was a plus. Another issue we ran into was the codes for the rooms, a few people had mentioned that they had an issue as well when checking in but the matter for us was resolved rather quickly. Lastly, we hated that check out was @10a and you can only get a late check out if you receive a msg prior to your check out and that was inconvenient bc we where at a tournament and it was a later game and we had to leave out @10 with no option of paying an extra fee for a late checkout.

Our stay at the Carolinian Beach Resort was relaxing. The hotel was conveniently located to on the strip, with easy access to restaurants and shopping. Our room was oceanfront and as described on the website. The rooms were clean and our hallway was quiet. However, please note that there was a break down in communication while trying to locate our room. We asked a staff member who led us in the wrong direction. Once we found our room, our door code did not work. Luckily, the maintenance man was already on our floor and reset our code. Please beware that there are scammers sliding advertisements for fake restaurants under the door. This is not a reflection on the hotel, as the person was dressed in regular clothes and had the flyers in his pocket, Also, please note that parking is across the street in the parking garage. One day the elevator in the garage stopped working. By the time we checked out, it was working. Although the parking garage is lit, the lighting is not all that great. So, please use general safety precautions. Aside from minor hiccups, our stay was great!

Price was very good. Breakfast that was included every day was very good, also enjoyed the complimentary miniature golf. Upset that there was no jacuzzi and the mattresses in room 210 need to be replaced. Also our air conditioner wasn’t working the first night, but after an hour they replaced it with a new one which was appreciated.

This resort has two buildings... the pics shown on the listing do not represent the true condition of the resort, very unfriendly staff.. a dirty glove and bar of broken soap was on the floor by the elevator for our whole stay, 6nights.. that means no mopping or vacuuming happened..and the staff lounge was on the floor we were on, the third floor.. so they seen it, just didn’t care.. never greeted us, as we rode the elevator multiple times with them..check the pics out of the true look of hotel

I stayed for weekend, The cost for 1 day and half because you check in at 4:00pm Friday and check out at 10:00am Sunday or they will charge you additional fee's for lateness. It was not worth any over $550 I paid plus the photo on website didn't reflect the true room . I had no view NONE. I faced another building. placed me next to storage closet. I wouldn't recommend, to any one I know. Truly disappointed and normally I'm very good at selecting places I stay. NOT THIS TIME...
