1915 Beach Club is a cute renovated vintage motel with cleanliness and security issues.
I stayed for 2 nights this week. My room , which was #8, was adorable but had multiple cleanliness & maintenance issues, plus a major security issue: There are no staff members on site. Checkin is virtual. The building is directly on A1A across from the beach which is great for beach access, but anyone could park here or lurk here. The grounds are very dark. There is no chain or swing lock on the inside of the door so a guest can't secure the door & has to hope nobody else has the key code.
The major issue with my room was dirty linens. I noted a strong unpleasant smell but initially didn't realize it was coming from the beds.
I laid out some clean clothes I planned to wear on the spare bed overnight, and in the morning discovered the smell had transferred to my clothing.
The linens looked clean but were not. Both beds were improperly made up with the sheet on top of the comforter instead of underneath, so your body is touching the same comforter that a dozen other vacationer's bodies have touched. We know hoteliers don't wash their linens after every stay, right?
I'm guessing the smell was mildew (which in my own experience, you can never get the smell out and the linens must be discarded), but it's hard to describe how awful the smell was.
The towels were plentiful but stained and gray (originally white).
The refrigerator and freezer were great to have in my room, but the freezer didn't keep food frozen and the temperature dial had been removed so it could not be adjusted.
The air conditioner only worked when it was set on automatic. The room was hot when I entered so I set the a/c on "Cool" and 68 degrees and nothing happened. I'm glad I figured out quickly that it only worked on the Auto setting.
The hand-held sprayer in the shower didn't work.
Again, the location and recently-renovated rooms are a great plus. More attention to cleanliness, maintenance, & security is needed.
Remember, anybody can review a hotel on Google- you don't have to stay there to write a review. Booking dot com reviews are verified and much more accurate imo than Google reviews.
