2/10 Poor

No good
We arrived to the hotel at midnight and got into our room shortly after. The smelt awful! But it was late and thought maybe we’d get use to it. The bathroom floor and toilet seat had condensation all over it. What we thought were cold sheets, were damp sheets. We woke up with hardly any sleep and never getting use to the smell. Then we noticed the black mold in the ceiling and air vent. So far I’ve only got back $35 of the $80 we paid in resort fees and none of my $600 for the two nights we booked. We were after 7.5 hours. It’s been 12 days since the stay. Oh! And our clothes smelt awful!!!!

6/10 Good

Good from far but far from good
There was a very strong musky smell. It smelled like the hotel was trying to cover it up with sandlewood. The walls were very very wavy which made me think that there was water damage and that was the smell I was getting. The room was clean but very humid even with the A/C on very low, which made the floor really tacky when walking on it. Very unpleasant.

Building had a smell
We just stayed here for 4 nights. Service/staff was excellent. Great location, close to beach and the main attractions, hustle and bustle. The building/ room had a smell that we could have been without and we received a towel that was stained. All and all not the worst place.

2/10 Poor

I gave the place a fair chance but overall we were not satisfied. There’s a need for renovation and cleaning. The walls were bubbled from water damage and it smelled moldy. There was also no elevator and the staff didn’t offer at all to help with luggage. One of the guests that I traveled with has mobility issues. Lastly we have repeatedly attempted to contact the hotel because of an item left behind and we’ve received no response.

2/10 Poor

Summary: Do not stay at Life House, South of Fifth. *Everything smells horrible (lobby, room, towels, wicker funiture because it absorbs moisture and is growing mold) *AC vents are only 6ft high and is visible how filthy they are *Room was extremely humid, very uncomfortable, smelled wet and moldy *Room was not functional being impractical. Owner is focused on design, not comfort *Public parking or $50 per day w/ the hotel *no TV in the room Details: Read the reviews as they are consistent. We stayed 2 nights and the place is too much of a “vibe” that it’s impractical and very uncomfortable. The place is super nice look wise HOWEVER, the air freshener is so strong you’ll realize they are trying to cover the nasty smell of mildew throughout the entire place. Our room had 4 bunk beds and the room was not functional. No TV, no chairs, no place to set your luggage, the room was extremely humid that our beach clothes never dried in the room. We ran the bathroom fan all 2 nights we were there and everything is so wet that as you lay in bed, you feel cold, wet, and sticky. The “front desk” said to crank the AC or set it to the “Dehumidifier” setting and mentioned all the rooms feel the same. The entire facility to too dark as in, their “look” is very dimmed lighting. No parking. They offer $50 per night or find a spot on the street (public parking) you need to pay for. No complimentary coffee (not an issue, just a very common staple in a hotel/motel). Carpets are gross.
