"Great views and locations
This unit was very nice and well equipped. The views are excellent and location is super convenient to food, entertainment, and of course just steps to the beach."

"Great week
We had a great week with our family. We will be back."
Oct 02, 2023 - Tami C., Marietta, GA



"My Happy Place.....Gulf Dunes 508!!
Condo was excellent, just as pictured. The only issue we had was the icemaker quit on us but one phone call to Brooks and Shorey and before we knew it we had a brand new stainless fridge! They are awesome to work with and have booked with them for years! Thanks for a wonderful stay!"
Sep 11, 2023 - Dana H., Oakland, TN



"Beautiful Condo
We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Dunes 508, beautiful condo with a comfortable atmosphere, beachfront, the condo has been well maintained. Lots of room for a family! My only complaint was the refrigerator didn’t get very cold. We will return!"
Aug 29, 2023 - , Eagle Rock, MO



"Awesome time
Unit was very clean, first day neighbors below was kinda loud, other than that great time!! Beach service crew was amazing and helped us out ever day to get settled. Stayed here quite a times already and will be back!!"
Jun 19, 2023 - Mark P., Cleveland, TN



"much needed relaxation
nicely furnished, clean, great location and and awesome view~! love the beach service with chairs & umbrella so you don't have to drag your stuff down there. ate at many nearby seafood restaurants that had good food. there are many things to do nearby and in destin, but not all the traffic there is in destin. appreciated the open communication with the property management. enjoyed the keyless entry. would highly recommend and plan on returning. "
Apr 21, 2023 - , Dacula, GA



"Nice gem in Fort Walton
Gulf Dunes 508 was a really nice condo that matched the description perfectly. It was clean with a fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful views from the patio, and the two free beach chairs were a great bonus. Customer service was fantastic, and we would consider staying at a Brooks and Shorey Resort again. Location is close to everything. It's next to Destin without paying Destin prices. "
Apr 03, 2023 - Rhonda H., De Forest, WI



"Christmas Eve Winter Wonder
When the water pipes burst in the original condo due to the extreme cold (I believe a record for the area), Brooks & Shorey immediately put us in a new condo on Christmas Eve. They made a difficult situation easy to handle, and the new condo was wonderful! Merry Christmas!"
Dec 31, 2022 - Mark W., Livonia, MI



"Awesome vacation
We have stayed in this unit before and they definitely did an upgrade with furniture and decoration. Love having the parking spot under cover for occasional rainy days. "
Oct 14, 2022 - Margaret C., Gulfport, MS



"Beach Vacay
We had a very relaxing stay. Lots of walks on the beach and beautiful views."
Oct 11, 2022 - Cynthia M., Friona, TX



"Great place, location and vacation
We really loved the location, the beach set up was very convenient. Kitchen was very well equipped with lots to cook most anything. Furniture was nice but wish there was a rug in the living area and bed room. constantly getting sand tracked everywhere. Overall an A+ for our family vacation."
Jun 25, 2022 - Cindy C., Louisville, KY



"Perfection
Many years with Brooks and Shorey at the Gulf Dunes. This was, as always, perfect in every way."
Jun 07, 2022 - , Somerville, AL



"AWSOME
tHE CONDO WAS BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WELL EQUIPED THE ONLY THING IS i WISH THERE WERE GRAB BARS IN THE MASTER BASTHRONN THE TUB IS REALY DEEP AND IS HARD TO GET IN WITH US BEING SENIORS WE ARE AFRAID OF FALLING GETTING INTO THE TUB"
May 23, 2022 - Bonnie W., Madison, WI



"Incredible View
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gulf Dunes. The condo was clean, and spacious, and matched the description in the photos. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The ice maker was a bonus. The bed was comfortable but a bit firmer than we are used to. The only recommendation I would make is to add an ottoman to the furniture in the living room so that there is a comfortable place to rest your feet!
The view from the balcony was amazing. We enjoyed watching the dolphins swim by in the early morning. We also took advantage of the offered Explorie activities and my husband golfed several times! We highly recommend The Shack restaurant in Fort Walton Beach (excellent Lobster Crab Cakes) and BoShamps in Destin for a pricier but excellent seafood dinner!
We cannot wait to return and will definitely use Brooks and Shorey again!!"
Apr 18, 2022 - , Saint Joseph, IL



"Home Away From Home
Always a pleasure at Gulf Dunes. The only thing negative about this trip was not being able to sit on the balcony due to cigarette and pot smoke coming our way from neighbors. My daughter has asthma so we wish there could be a smoker's building and a total non-smokers building. And I think marijuana is illegal in Florida. Seemed to be from a couple of doors down from us...maybe 506 or 505. But hard to say for sure. Also the 2nd bedroom tv did not work at picture on it; just "no cable" sign when turned on screen. We love Gulf Dunes. Maryanna is the best! "
Oct 12, 2021 - , Kingston Springs, TN



"would not recommend
We couldn't get into our condo until 6pm but check in was at 4 pm. The lady at the front desk was not very nice. The washer and dryer didn't have work, took 2 hours to dry a load of clothes. One of the burners on the stove didn't work . For the price we paid it was a bad rental experience. "
Jul 20, 2021 - Dwayne M., Buena Vista, TN



"Excellent Accomodations
This condo was everything advertised. Family of 6.
Great location, wonderful views, clean, modern and plenty of space. We loved our stay. Unit above us was going through a remodel so it was a little noisy each morning as they were hammering away, but no fault of anybody."
Apr 05, 2021 - Paul M., Oxford, MI



"Family Vacation
Great condo for our family vacation!"
Mar 22, 2021 - Amber E., MARENGO, WI



"Awesome week!
We decided to try thanksgiving at the beach. It was a wonderful trip with perfect weather. The condo was very roomy and had an awesome view. It was within walking distance to restaurants, the pier and some stores. Also very clean and the bunk room was perfect for kids. We had a great week!"
Nov 29, 2020 - Katie F., Quitman, AR



"Beautiful View
The vacation rental was nice. Beds were comfortable. The best part of this unit was the view off the nice sized deck. I wish there were a couple of rugs. I felt like there was sand all over the floor. The sliding door is very hard to pull open. Other than that, no complaints. "
Oct 17, 2020 - , Boonville, MO



"Great location
Had a great time. Several new updates to condo. Great location. "
Oct 02, 2020 - , Shelby, AL



"Great Beach Get-Away
We loved our stay at Gulf Dunes #508. It was clean, roomy, had everything you would need, and the best things were the view of the beautiful Emerald Coast and how easily accessible the beach was! We are ready to rent this again for 2021!!"
Jul 25, 2020 - Paula R., Onalaska, TX



"Great Stay
The unit is as described and was clean and well maintained. Brooks and Shorey is always easy to get in touch with and responded to all my communications promptly. I would rent through them again."
Jul 15, 2020 - , Spring Hill, TN



"Gulf Dunes 508
We loved our vacation rental. The Condo was well equipped and had very pretty decor. We loved the location and the view from our balcony was amazing. It had 2 tables and several chairs on the balcony which we loved! The only negative thing is when I had to move one of the chairs in the living room it was very dirty under it. It was the same under all the tables and chairs. I would definitely recommend this condo and Brooks and Shorey Resorts. We will be using them again. "
Apr 07, 2020 - Kristi W., Maryville, Tennessee



"Fall break 2019
This is a great condo building, we highly recommend it! The condo itself was missing a few key items...a good broom, better pots & pans, etc. But it's a rental! Bring your items that you must have if you cook"
Oct 15, 2019 - Angie K., Murfreesboro, TN



"Annuakl Girls Wee
Property manager Brooks & Shorey did an excellent job on representing the property, We had no bad experience(s) with Gulf Dunes 508. Manager always is on top of things so we wanted not

"Yearly Beach Get-Away
We have stayed several times at GD. Condo was nice"
Jul 17, 2019 - Kim M., Maylene, AL



"Great stay at Gulf Dunes 508
We enjoyed our week at Gulf Dunes 508. The rental was very clean and came with basic amenities like dish towels, paper towel, dishwasher soap, bath towels, etc. We enjoyed the layout of the condo and the beach views. The woman who works at the front desk was very helpful, and you can't beat the daily setup of chairs on the beach! My husband took advantage of the free golf that was included with the rental and enjoyed that as well. All in all, a good choice for our family of four."
Apr 08, 2019 - , Hudsonville, MI



"Great Week
The condo was great. The balcony furniture was not as comfortable as we would like. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time and will likely return to Gulf Dunes next year. Loved getting the door code just prior to arrival!!!"
May 31, 2018 - , Inman, SC



"Thanksgiving 2017
Had an awesome time. This was our 3rd time to stay in this unit loved the updates and changes to the unit. Weather was great and marine life active. Love Gulf Dunes!!! Onsite property management friendly and helpful as always. "
Nov 27, 2017 - Cheryl R., Alexandria, LA



"Fall Break 2017
The condo was clean and very nice. Plenty of room for all the family and the view was beautiful. "
Oct 16, 2017 - , Maceo, KY



"Location is Wonderful
The view from this unit is amazing. The unit could use a deep cleaning and some updates. It seems tired. We stayed in this unit a couple of years ago and the comforters are the same and quite worn. The stove needs to be replaced as does the dryer. The cabinets are peeling and are in need of replacing as well. Our trip was amazing and the view was beautiful. "
Sep 30, 2017 - , Louisville, KY



"Nice and clean
Had a great stay in a beautifully decorated condo. The kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of towels in bathrooms. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. "
Aug 30, 2017 - Lucy L., Farmington, AR



"Would Not Stay in 508
Pictures did not show the true condition of this unit (508) Fridge was rusty, paint was peeling of cabinets, limited glasses and cookware (etc. 4 tall glasses), upon arrival could not walk on floor barefoot, as feet would be solid black."
Aug 05, 2017 - RS C., Conway, AR



"Wonderful!
This was our 7th trip and maybe the best one yet! We were happy to find new mattresses, flooring, and décor. The condo was beautiful and so was the beach! We hope to make 2018 our 8th year in a row!!"
Jun 08, 2017 - Jimmy C., Fairview, Tn



"Gulf Dunes 508
I have nothing negative about our 4 night stay. The unit was very tastefully decorated. The bunk room provided extra beds without the fee of a 3 bedroom. I enjoyed not being right over the pool. We go to bed early and appreciated the quiet of our location. The employees who checked us in were very nice. We loved having a covered parking space. I also appreciate the ease of leaving without a huge list of chores that other rentals have left. We loved having a beach side pool. We frequently stay on Okaloosa Island and we decided that Gulf Dunes is our favorite. We will definitely be back."
Jun 03, 2017 - Kerry P., Manchester, TN



"Family Spring Break 2017
Loved the location, view, beaches, and ample space. The condo seems to have a new hot water heater, which no cold showers really do matter when you're getting 5 people showered for dinner out after a beach day. The floors are beautiful and the decor is nice and beachy. The kitchen counters and appliances definitely need to be replaced and upgraded asap for sure. With those and some improvements they are already in the works on (cabinet fronts), this condo would be nearly perfect. Easy check in and checkout and having a nice person like MaryAnn at the desk right at the condo location is great! I will definitely be keeping my eye on this condo for upgrades for future spring break rental possibilities! "
Apr 08, 2017 - Katie B., Interlochen, MI



"Disappointed in unit
We stayed at Gulf Dunes last year and were very happy with our unit. We did not book through Brooks and Shorey. This year our unit was in disrepair. Chipped cabinets, missing bars in refrigerator to hold food, stove burner that didn't work, screen doors that came off completely when you tried to open it, dirty mirrors and wasn't very clean overall. We like the location and layout of the unit. It could have been kept up and cleaned much better. "
Oct 20, 2016 - , Danville, IN



"Review of Gulf Dunes 508
Sliding glass door to balcony would not lock. Refrigerator ice maker hose broke and flooded kitchen and hallway. Had to mop and call for maintenance. Water to refrigerator cut off and repair made in a few hours. Ceiling fan in master b/r would not change to low speed(high speed only worked). Overall condition of condo was fair."
Oct 05, 2016 - Carol B., Helena, AL



"Worn Out!
The LR furniture is worn out! No support and difficult for a senior citizen to use. The DR chairs are rusty. A stool at the breakfast bar is dangerously wobbly. There was no DW liquid. The smoke alarm chirped until we replaced the battery. The bathtubs are too high for a senior to enter easily--should be a warning on this unit--NO SENIORS."
Oct 04, 2016 - Larry S., Mandeville, LA



"Spacious condo with great view
What a great direct view of the beach from this fifth floor condo which is clean and decorated beautifully! With 2 double beds in one bedroom, a king bed,and a bunk bed room, there is plenty of space for the whole family. Great location for families. I can't wait to go back! "
Aug 31, 2016 - Maria S., Port Carbon, PA



"Things I wish I knew beforehand
Overall the vacation was good. I would have liked a little better clarification regarding the check-in for this property. We have used Brooks and Shorey before. We were not told we could check directly in at the condo. Also on our very last day we found out we had a covered parking spot. More accurate communication would have been appreciated. "

We love the Gulf Dunes condos this is our 3rd year staying at one. Rental 508 was our favorite condo so far. The room was well decorated, comfortable, clean and of course a beautiful view! "

The unit is fabulous! No complaints!! We had four adults a two children and very comfortable. The view can't be beat! Will stay again!! Covered parking space was a great bonus!!!"

We had a wonderful time. The condo was gorgeous, very accommodating for a family of 8. Within walking distance to restaurants and the pier. The ocean was gorgeous. Would definitely love to stay again.

"Family Getaway
We enjoyed our week in Fort Walton Beach! Gulf Dunes was comfortable for our family of 4. The living room furniture need attention and the mattresses could also use replacing. However, the unit was clean and had everything we needed. If we were to return to Fr. Walton, we would definitely consider this unit."

"Wonderful stay, as always!
Brooks and Shorey was great as they always have been and I love the front desk at Gulf Dunes!! Great much that I don't like to stay elsewhere but Gulf Dunes. I hadn't stayed at this condo before but I thought it was wonderful! Yes, the couch is uncomfortable but I don't go to Okaloosa Island to sit on the couch. The condo was very clean & very tastefully decorated, the owners take great care of their condo. Awesome time!! "
Oct 17, 2014 - Baptista B., Elizabethtown, KY



"End of summer trip
We have stayed at this property before but not in this condo. For the most part the condo was nice. Two huge problems -comfort and cleanliness. The sofa was HORRIBLE and needs to be replaced! The condo floors were not clean and some of the bedding was stained. At checkin we were told the guets that had just checked out had torn the handle off the livingroom sliding door so we could not access the balcony except thru the bedroom. From the look of the door and screen I have a hard time believing this just happened. The damage appeared much older. I have no problem staying on the property again but will not stay in #508. "
Oct 09, 2014 - , Smyrna, TN



"Fort Walton Condo
We had a great vacation. The condo is in a really great location. But, some upgrades are needed. The furniture in the living area needs to be upgraded. It is old and very uncomfortable. And the patio door needed repairing.
The location is wonderful, and the view is great. The bedrooms and bathrooms are good."
Oct 08, 2014 - , Obion, TN



"Nice
The condo was very nice. Very clean and inviting. There are a few things that I didn't like though. Our ice maker was broke the whole time, the door in the living room that went out on the balcony was messed up and very hard to open, and there wasn't a hot tub at the pool. "
Sep 19, 2014 - Frankie G., Centerville, Tn



"Girls Week!!!
I have stayed at Gulf Dunes for many years, different rooms of coarse. I will have to say its nice, but needs ALOT of upgrades and repairs to certain things and may need to check behind there cleaning personal."
Sep 03, 2014 - Julia D., Clarksville, TN



"Beautful Place!
Gulf Dunes #508 was very well appointed and comfortable. The beach and umbrella service was excellent as well. I really like the convenience of having the assigned parking space that comes with the unit as well."
Aug 25, 2014 - Amelia K., Spring, TX



"Gulf Dunes 508
Our Stay was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Condo was exactly as pictured. The location was perfect with two accesses to the beach. We enjoyed the patio furniture everyday for meals and to enjoy the view."
Jul 15, 2014 - Rhonda F., rogers, Arkansas



"Beautiful and relaxing
Great stay at Gulf Dunes!!! A most beautiful and relaxing home away from home. The only suggestion I could make, is that the kitchen could be a little better equipped with prepping utencils, but we managed to make due. Great decor, will consider this stay again in the future."
Jun 24, 2014 - Robert F., Buffton, IN



"Anniversary Getaway
We have stayed at this location multiple times and always enjoy our vacation experience at Gulf Dunes. Brooks and Shorey staff members are consistently friendly and helpful. We will be back!"
Jun 04, 2014 - , Murfreesboro, TN



"Nice place to stay
Our stay in Gulf Dunes 508 was satisfying overall. The unit was clean and in good shape. The two bedrooms were large enough and the bunk room came in handy. The appliances were adequate but not outstanding. The dishwasher needs a bit of a nudge to begin it's cycle and the refrigerator's inside drawer and the beverage holder fall off easily. The balcony furniture was better than expected although the inside couch and chairs look nice but are very uncomfortable for sitting. All in all, this unit met our expectations and we would in no way would hesitate to stay here again. The on-site staff were extraordinarily helpful and pleasant to deal with. Great experience. "
Apr 28, 2014 - Tom E., Sussex, WI



"Great place to stay
There is nothing negative to say about this property. Everything was clean and fresh. Will stay again next time we visit Fort Walton Beach. Really enjoyed it."
Oct 13, 2013 - Elizabeth T., Lawrenceville, Ga



"Relaxation! Relaxation! Relaxation!
Gulf Dunes 508 was among the nicest, if not THE nicest condo in which we've stayed along the gulf coast. Our overall family vacation experience was very good and weather cooperated beautifully, including Mother Nature's free fireworks display overlooking the gulf the evening we arrived. Pier and surf fishing falls a bit short in comparison to Gulf Shores. With hubby's past service in the USAF, a visit to the museum was one of the highlights of the week."

"Great place, only lacking in a couple of areas
The layout of the condo was awesome, view was georgeous, elevators and trash chute were convenient. Only a few changes I could recommend from our family experience, the sofa and chairs in the living room were in no way comfortable, we didn't use the sofa bed I'm just speaking of seating. The kitchen was lacking in a few essentials and the most important thing to my family is the comfort of the mattresses, these were much better than most condos we have stayed in but we have a hard time understanding why the beds and living room seating would not top any condo owners list of important items. I would say overall it was a wonderful stay and this is strictly my opinion, just trying to be honest."

"Great place to stay! Quiet but only 6 mi from Destin.
Over-all it was very satisfing. Out of the 3 condos that our group rented, I liked ours the best. Very nicely decorated. Very comfortable bed in the master room! Great being on the 5 th floor! Very nice table and chairs on the deck! Really nice having the 2 beach chairs and umbrella and the guys setting them up were very accommodating to groups. The condo complex even had rafts,noodles, boogie boards etc. to borrow. Only recommendations: couch was very worn down in the middle and only one person could sit on it because everyone would roll to the middle! Baseboards were not very clean And the throw rugs in the kitchen and bathroom did not appear to be clean so we rolled them up out of the way!
The property was very clean and the management was very helpful.
The location is great because it's not as congested as Destin but if you wanted go to Destin, it's only 7 miles from the condo."

"Gulf Dunes 508
The kitchen and both bathroom rugs were nasty. We folded them up and did not walk on them. The bathtub drain in the guest bath was clogged. When we took showers we stood in water. I think the wall art and lamps, tv's, etc should be dusted more often. You except the rooms to be clean when we check out, we except the rooms to be clean when we check in. "

"LOVED THE LOCATION
For the most part we loved our stay on Okaloosa Island. Although we did not need to use the bunk room because we only had four people staying in the condo, it had a strange odor and the carpets throughout the condo were not very clean. The living room furniture was very uncomfortable. We loved the area and the staff was very friendly and professional."

"Perfect Place
We loved the easy access to the beach. The kids loved the pool. Hearing the ocean at night was wonderful!! The washer and dryer along with the full kitchen made it easy to care for our family while entertaining our triplets with adventures on the beach and free movies at night."

"GREAT EXPERIENCE
My wife and I had a wonderful vacation at the Gulf Dunes. The room has been updated and was spotless and stocked well. We even opted to stay an extra day just to enjoy it that much more. I will stay in room 508 again next year. I "

"Disappointed at the NASTY unit we stayed in at Gulf Dunes!
I NORMALLY love Gulf Dunes and have stayed there for 10 years BUT the unit we stayed in this time was extremely dirty. I'm not sure if I'm willing to come back to GD's because of the nastiness of the unit. I've always called it "my favorite place to stay." I have changed my mind. I had to vacuum and sweep laundry room, kitchen and balcony as soon as I came into the unit. Bathroom mat was light in color and showed the nastiness of the mat. The balcony door broke and they were unable to fix it while we were there so it made it very inconvenient to go out to the balcony. I understand that they couldn't get any one in there to fix it fast but i would have loved for them to offer a minimal discount for the inconvenience. They were extremely good about getting someone up to the unit fast to fix the broken wireless box. I did not complain at the time about the dirty unit but i hope someone will see this and make sure the cleaning company does their job correctly. Overall, the place just seemed dirty and the couch sank in and was very uncomfortable. I'm very disappointed that I experienced this because this always used to be my favorite place. "

"Mini Vacay & Wedding
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL condo, this condo was amazing! We were in town for my brother's wedding down at Sea Crest and I had did some online searching cause we've stayed with Brooks & Shorey before but this condo was the icing on the cake! View was stunning the decor was beautiful, we go to Ft Walton/Destin every year and this condo has my name written all over it, we will be back to stay there! Thanks so much!"

"Pleasant, comfortable, beautiful views, convenient location
The rental is set up nicely. Furnishings were good except for sofa (need firmer foam or replace)Basically clean but found chips under bed, q-tip in bathroom and dust under furniture. Kitchen was stocked well. Could have more dish towels. Management personnel were extremely nice, helpful and friendly. Beach experience was great. Appreciated the weather warnings. Pool was great when it wasn't too crowded. Overall a great atay. Will be back.

"Vacation 2012
This was our first visit to the Destin/Fort Walton area and Brooks and Shorey made it an awesome one! The condo (Gulf Dunes 508) is top notch, very clean and well decorated. The location was great and the building was really well maintained. Honestly don't have a bad thing to say about our whole visit!

"Gulf Dunes Condo
The stove had oil splattered all over it and the washing machine had a ring of oil from the tanning oil in the suits washed throughout the years. I had to scrub the washing machine down (went shopping for cleaning supplies), scrub the toilet, tub, etc. I did not use the stove or any aspect of the kitchen because of the required cleaning it would take. The pantry needs to be painted. It had a splattering of food, etc. on the inside of the pantry walls. Additionally, it was not vaccuumed. To be safe, I washed my linens before sleeping in the bed based on the condition of the other aspects of the condo. Some of the light bulbs were burnt out as well. Overall, the location and staff were fabulous, but the cleanliness of the condo was horrible. "

"OK stay
• Was the vacation rental in a great location?- Okay location: would like to within walking distance to shops, places to eat etc
• Was the home clean and in good shape?- The condo was nice, however seemed in need of a sprucing up. Carpets were dirty, fixtures were half broken, and things seemed to be in the process of falling apart.
• Was the vacation rental management staff helpful? Not really
• Did you have a good overall stay? I had a great time laying on the beach, but I don't think we will stay at gulf dunes again.

"Amazing Summer Getaway!!!
My family had an amazing stay. The condo was perfect for us. It was well equipped and had plenty of towels. The view and location was amazing. Loved going for a run, then resting at one of our free beach chair/umbrella and watching the dolphins."

"Great time!
Overall our stay was great. There were a few exceptions. The dishwasher did a lousey job cleaning which was probably due to the lack of water pressure through out the condo. The re-tile job they were doing near by was very disturbing. Even though quite hours were from 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM the construction work began at 8:00 in the morning. Really made it hard to sleep in."

Nice, clean condo with a beautiful view. Had plenty of room and we enjoyed the area ... it was close enough to some places to walk, but isolated enough not to have a traffic burden. Very nice."

"Vacation Stay
Upon checkin, we were not told about the parking spot designated for our room. It would have been nice to have known about it before the day before we left. Also, the bed in the master bedroom was uncomfortably hard and the sheets kept coming off during the night. But, overall, the stay was great!"

The unit needs a new coat of paint on almost everything. When it rains hard, there is a leak around the sliding door in the master bedroom.
I loved the full size washer & dryer."

"Winter at Fort Walton Beach; Gulf Dunes, unit 508
We would suggest the unit replace the couch and chair in the living room and also the master bedroom mattress. Also the cleaning staff needs to pay more attention to the bedding, in particular the bedspreads and mattress pads. They were disgusting when we arrived. I want you to know that when this was brought to the attention of the front desk they were taken care of immediately. I would also like a better gym facility, maybe located near the tennis courts."
