Comfy Stay

Overall, we really enjoyed the stay! Cute, small and simple. Just what you need! The only thing I’d say we had hoped for a better gym but other than that even the location was great, a few minutes walking to the beach!

Accurate property description except for the lack of hair dryer. Only about 2-3 minutes of hot water, which might have been an acute issue or might be a long term issue.

top of the gulf was not what i expected

building was rough and worn down, very outdated. They were doing construction however. We reserved a oceanfront-ocean view room-could not see anything-windows leaked-and come to find out no one was supposed to rented this room due to scheduled construction. We were relocated after 2 days there and the new location was AMAZING!!!

Room was gross!

The building was nice but the room we staying in was run down and gross. The room was dirty. One of the beds had a full size box spring with a queen size mattress. The bathroom had black spots on the ceiling that appeared to be mold. The water only stayed warm for about 10 minutes. The room was overall run down and dirty! It was on the first floor but not a beachfront. I will not be staying in this room again.

Disgusting

Got there on Monday. There was construction going on at the property that I was not aware of. It was very noisy. Went in the room, turned the heat on because it was cold. The fire alarm started going off. There was gnats in the kitchen. The room had a bad smell. On one bed the box spring smaller was smaller than the mattress. The closet was full of junk. Very disappointed. Spoke with the lady at the front desk. Decided to stay somewhere else.

Would not recommend

I don’t even know where to to begin. Black mold/mildew all over the shower. Shower curtain rod fell down during our first shower and would not go back up. We were given 1/2 roll of toilet paper and didn’t realize there was not additional rolls until it was too late. Filthy floors under beds and appliances. Beds were rock hard. I would wake up with my arms asleep in the night and sore back in the morning. The pillows were pancakes, and there were no blankets on the bed or in the room, only two top sheets. The furnishings are completely different than the photos. One of the benches was missing to the patio table. We have stayed at Top of the Gulf previously and had a wonderful experience. This room was run down and in need of repair and a deep cleaning. Very disappointed, especially for the price.

Great location

Great spot for a small family. The room was clean and comfortable. A few things could have been better. The wifi would log on but anything we choose to watch would never load. Also there weren't any utensils and would have been nice to know that before hand. Very nice shower but only Luke warm water. Absolutely no hot water.
