Monroe County Vacation Packages

For the night of 10/16, we paid $158 plus $25 pet fee to stay in an unclean room. This is a $60/night room at best. And we don’t stay in $60/night rooms. We will knowingly stay in a 2-3 star property that has good ratings, is clean, convenient and accepts dogs. The lady at the counter was nice. But everything went downhill from there. There were people hanging out in the parking lot, people sitting in their cars smoking pot, etc. We get to the room and it had cheap furniture and mattresses. The sheets were clean, so were the counters, and the bathroom. The floor was not clean. If it hadn’t been 8:30 PM and we hadn’t driven for 19 hours, we would have left. Next we discover we can only get one channel on the TV - VH1. The remote only let you power on and off to that channel and nothing else. In the AM, we learned that the tub faucet was wonky and would give you all hot or all cold. So no shower for us. No, we do not recommend.

Hotel Margot was not my first choice. I had reservations elsewhere but had to change due to hurricane damage. Expedia was excellent in notifying me of the issue and helping me to find an alternate location on short notice. Hotel Margot reminds me of a well-kept 60's era beach motel. It is relatively well kept and clean. My check-in was delayed as the room was not ready by check-in time. The receptionist was very accommodating and apologetic. I have only 2 real complaints with the room - the shower was dark as there were no lights in the shower itself and the lights in the bathroom did a mediocre job of lighting it. My other complaint is one that seems to be becoming more common - the TV only really offered streaming services. Just trying to watch some local (or network) news was problematic and not worth the effort. Unfortunately, this is becoming all too common these days.
