Labor day fun
The check-in process needed more information. Check in was in another hotel 2 miles away. Extremely confusing. Got the runaround. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

You get what you pay but I paid more and got less!
Check-in location was about 1 mile away from the actual property which is okay because it was already mention on the listing. Listing mention that there is a free wifi on room, I double checked and asked when I check-in, was told that should be OPEN wifi which you can connect. There was no open wifi, every room equipped with its own router, which is protected wifi, the password was not given, during my 2 days stay there called multiple times to the front desk and inquire about the wifi and was told first time that they are working with the IT support to get it for me and they will call back, they lied. on my 2nd call I got different response, that I need to get the wifi password from the Property owner, when I told them I don't know any property owner I paid you guys and you need to fix this issue, and they said you booked from EX*** talk to them. I called them and they checked with the hotel and then told me that they are working with their IT to get it fixed for me, and they will call me back, again no response. The air conditioner was broken on one bedroom, and the inside temperate was about 95 degree, very hot and un-pleasant. The exhaust fan on one bathroom was broken. The sofa bed had broken mattress.They room service was non-existent, called them 2nd day to get more towels etc and they never showed up. Disposing trash is another nightmare, you need to get the trash out of the room and then go few blocks away dragging trash with you to dispose off in trash compator

I did have an issue finding the location of the checking since it was in a different site. In the Co firms ton Email I received it had the name of the location to check in but it didn't have the address. I wasted an hour and forty-five minutes looking for the location of the check in to than drive back to the condo were me and my family rented for the weekend.

We really enjoyed ourselves. We were close to everything. The only bad thing was the rude staff at check in. I had requested an early check in when I booked the room and was told that would not be a problem. However, when we arrived at 1:30 the lady would not allow us to check in. She was nasty!!!

Avoid if you can
The room size and layout is good. The exteria of the villa and location is excellent. However, the unit's interior was dated and smelled dusty and closed up. The carpet needed cleaning. The cabinets are woren and dated. Overall the unit needs a face lift and a through cleaning.

Not a good experience.
No central AC; only window units in two rooms. The carpets were badly stained. The general condition was old and worn out. The beds were terribly uncomfortable. We had a sick child one night; there were no spare sheets. When we needed some help with a room key, we were told we would have to go 5 miles down the road to another location to get a replacement.

Was a great time had by all.
We enjoyed our stay, but I will add that the unit we rented was out dated as far as the flooring and dishes also the master bedroom's bathroom definitely needs some remodeling. The maid service was there everyday with clean towels and made the beds, some times they didn't leave as many hand towels and kitchen towels. Also they do not vacuum the carpet, I guess that's why the carpets look so bad. But they did mop the kitchen and bathrooms, I've heard that some of the units have been up dated, maybe you can request one while booking the unit. Over all we enjoyed ourselves.

Not a good experience
We were on the third floor and there were no elevators which was not mentioned. We also had two villas and they had us in different buildings. The day after we got there they started remodeling the parking lot which was an even bigger inconvenience. Check in is at a different hotel and there was no front desk on site

filthy and sheetless
There was no sheets on the twin beds. The main bathroom was dirty. Genetal hair all over the floor and in shower. Screen door broke not even attach to frame. Dirty carpet in livingroom. Jelly beans on the floor. When called for sheets and someone to clean; I was told I would have to go to Ocean Dunes Hotel to get the sheets and there was no one to come clean. My son and myself slept the first night with beach towels as blankets. Next day no one came to clean or with sheets. I went out and bought blankets & cleaners. Spent $45.oo out of my budget. Asked for a deduction in cost. Recieved NONE! Never AGAIN!

We arrived at the location of the hotel, no problem. However, it took 20 minutes to figure out where to actually check in. It would of been nice if we were informed of where to actually check in, which was across the street in a different hotel, #5523. We arrived at the hotel about 1:00 p.m. The room was not ready until about 3:45.Not sure why it took so long to get the room ready, it really wasn't that clean. The room could of been cleaner and a thorough cleaning would not hurt periodically. Otherwise it was comfortable, quiet and satisfactory.

Surprisingly Good!
there were some bad reviews on the internet about this villa, mainly complaining about the cleaniness. We were kind of skeptical and didn't know what we'll get. When we entered the unit, everyone was happy (3 adults and 3 kids). Yes the facilities are kind of old, and the appliance are old model. But it has everything we need, and the quality of the towels and bedding is good. Each unit has a view to the ocean. The pool, the hot tub, walking to the beach in 2 mins. What else do you expect? We also got free pass to the Sand resorts, and free tickets to the water park ($150 value already). We'll definitely come back. One complain: it took us a while to find the registration desk, which is in the building next to the villa. There was no signs to it and we finally found it by calling the phone number.

ok for last minute trip
Condo had a watery smell. Bathroom had nasty tub and were too small. Location was very convenient. Had nice ocean view. Do not arrive early because your room will not be available until 4, literally. Will stay here again only as a last minute resort.

nice location, not very nice hotel
I am sorry to say that for the price, I was very disappointed. It had a musty smell, and the showers were pretty bad. We wouldn't even use the shower in the master bath because it was nasty. All the furniture seemed like a cheap apartment. Had we not already moved all our suitcases up 2 flights of stairs and had two small children with us, we would have gone to look for another hotel. But we only had 2 precious days with our small grandchildren, and I didn't want to waste time looking for another hotel. The only redeeming quality of it was the location, which was across the street from the ocean. That was worth a lot.

I enjoyed my stay, how ever I checked in after 8 pm. That being said we had to go many miles to another hotel to check in. I think Ocean forest villas should have someone one hand 24 hours. That is the down fail I disliked as far as my stay. Also I was told that every bedroom had a TV in the room. Only one had a TV and that TV was a 13 in. My daughter room did not have one in there. So other then that it was aiight stay

Never again
First of all, I am not one to complain but I felt people would like to know...I called the hotel at around 11 to inquire about early check in (which check in time is 4) they said no. Ok, fine. Got to MB around 1230, enjoyed family time at the boardwalk, went and had dinner get to the hotel at 530 (1.5 hours AFTER allowed check in time and the lady at the desk inormed me none of the rooms were clean so id have to wait. Meanwhile, while waiting in the creepy lobby, other people are in line complaining about the conditions of their rooms. The 2 women at the desk had no clue what was going on, or seemed to care less by the troubles of everyone else. Finally, after nearly an hour of waiting they inform me that my room is ready. Go to my room after finding the building and was not at all thrilled with the lack of coziness to our room. I will never ever stay here again, I was very disappointed in everything from the time I pulled in to the time I left. If I had to stay there more than one night, I would have requested a refund and left. After all the inconvenience of checking in, I was hardly in the mood to go to the pool or anything else, considering it was pushing a little after 7pm. All of the amenities this hotel offers is at another hotel 1.5 miles up the road...not helpful at all!

It's my third time staying at this hotel. We just love the place, it's easy to get too and the beach is right across the road. We have plenty of room. just relax either on the deck or by the pool. It's quite and peacefull. Our room even had chairs and umbrella to use at the beach. Clean towels every day.

Maintance Needed
The place had a smell as soon as we went into the door to go up the stairwell. I booked three rooms and thank goodness my room was the bad one and not the ones for my friends. The water smelled so bad that my hair got the smell in it. The kitchen floor was nasty dirty. The front desk person was rude and I don't think she even cared that she was. The other two rooms must have been privately owned because they were maintained. Even the chairs on the deck of our room were broken. This villa it self needed to be redone, it was old, dirty, and need some up keep. Our pool was down and they didn't even let us know that. We had to walk down two buildings to find one open. That was not a problem but would have been nice to be informed.

nightmare
there is no one on site to help you after 8:00pm . We locked our pass key in the room while unpacking the car. The only person on the property was a security guard that didn't have any access to the rooms. we spoke to the clerk at the hotel where we picked up the keys and was told to call a lock smith. They gave us a number that was not in service.
