Granada Inn

The location of the property is ideal, close to the beach. The pool has a lot of dead insects that had already disintegrated which tells you that the pool had not been cleaned or skimmed. We arrived at the property in the afternoon. There was NO staff to let you in. Apparently, they should have sent the email instructions with the code for the gate and the room within 24-48 hours of your checking-in. They sent the email at 8AM ON THE DAY we were checking in WHILE we were in transit through the airport. When you call the number of the property, NO ONE ANSWERS! Then you receive a text claiming that the person is on the phone and keeps just saying read the email that she sent INSTEAD of just sending the codes. She expects you to filter through your inbox while in the Florida heat. She just communicates through text messages. Goodluck when you need assistance in the property, you don't see any staff to talk with. I would not recommend this place. It was only a last-ditch choice because the prices of the other hotels were $500+ because it was apparently the boat show season.

Most of the positive reviews are from years ago.....but..... When we stayed at LaCasaDelMar in March of 2022 it was no longer as described! Room was shabby with frayed or broken items, dresser that I needed to line with towels to avoid splintered wood and dirt in back corners, and lacking basic items. There was no toilet paper roll holder, nowhere in the bathroom to hang or place personal items, and a stand on only one side of the bed. The air conditioner was in poor condition and turned on and off VERY loudly, constantly. Spring breakers interrupted our sleep most nights even though the hotel says they "don't allow partying." Worst issue was the kitchen. It had almost nothing in it to cook, serve or eat a meal with....and a refrigerator that was completely NOT functional. After we complained about the refrigerator being dirty and the freezer being completely frozen shut we were told they might be able to help the next day. Since we had groceries to put in it, we cleaned the refrigerator and chipped the ice out of the freezer in order to put away the food we brought (because the room had a kitchen!). By the next night, the freezer had again frozen over and we couldn't even get the door open! Let them know....and Another day later a worker came and removed the fridge, replaced it with a small apt. sized one without freezer. Needless to say, all the food we purchased was ruined! Either frozen into the freezer that we were not able to get into, or dripped on or frozen in the fridge. We were told that day "the owner will make it right." That was 7 weeks ago and NOTHING has been made right!!! We asked for reimbursement for the lost food and instead got billed recently for MORE than we owed them! Stay away.

Convenient location to the beach and restaurants, great housekeeping staff, maintenance is lacking and the security deposit/refund policy makes it a gamble to book a week's vacation too far in advance.
