I always like to stay at places listed on VRBO. This “place” looked great. The price seemed high, but it was a last minute reservations, so I reserved it. I was expecting to receive a key code to get in, but received a message that the owner hadn’t supplied one yet. I was a bit suspicious at this point, so I called the number provided. The gentleman who answered was the owner. At that point I was assured that my reservation was legitimate, but found out it was just a hotel room with a very steep price attached. If I canceled my reservation there would be no refund. When I arrived I was told that I was too early as check-in wasn’t until 3:00 pm. I received a text at 1:15 that my room was ready, after I had just paid $15 to park at the beach in Scarborough and to access a changing room/restroom. Ok…now I am up to almost $300 for a one night’s stay and I haven’t even seen my room! Upon check-in at 3:30ish, I was given a parking pass and the room key. Room #1 at the hotel sits literally on E. Grand Ave. The room was newly updated as the pictures depicted, but it was a motel room, not what I would call a VRBO property at all. When I settled in I took a shower. Yikes! No hot water!!! The next morning I had to tutor a student via ZOOM and the internet stopped responding. On a positive note…check-out was easy and she let me leave my car parked on the property until 1:00 pm. I told her about the lack of hot water. She also let me go back into the room to change, after returning from the beach as my room hadn’t been cleaned yet! A pretty expensive 1 night stay to say the least. In the future I would suggest that motel owners make it clear on VRBO that it is just that.Why wasn’t it listed as the Belkis Motel??? So disappointed as I have absolutely loved previous accommodations through VRBO. Thank you. Rebecca Tobey
