Captain's Suite: Poolside Oasis with Beach Access

Where do we begin? We have been hosts/landlords for over 40 years of our own properties. And rented plenty others all over the country and Europe.This aint our first rodeo. First, this is not a suite. Its a studio. This not new(unless $55 in paint is new). So description is misleading. Also, corner/end unit it is, overlooking the main lower roof in one direction and the other roof in another direction. The tile in the bathroom floor is cracked in multiple places. The wood trim around the window inthe shower was gross and moldy, we tried to clean it too.The sink was clogged, we unclogged it with a plunger ourselves, to no consistent avail. There are channels for electric wires for lights from the sconces hanging off the wall. We tried to put frozen daiquiri's in the freezer, but the freezer hand no door and was pretty much frozen solid. Stains on the chair. Yuk. The old A/C worked fine except when it came on and off we thought we were at the airport. Good news. The construction onthe exterior of the building on 3 floors on 2 side surrounding the pool were not being drilled on Saturday and Sunday. Bad news. They were there, jackhammering away all day on Wed, Thurs, Fri, Monday..thusly preventing us sitting there and enjoying our stay. What can be said? Not a good experience

Very lovely apartment, comfortable bed, AC and bathroom were perfect. Construction made it difficult to enjoy the pool area. Not having a kitchen sink made quick meals a bit challenging.

Room is as appears in listing. Could use a few touch ups here at there, new shower head ect, but no big deal. The hall ways of this old hotel are really quite bad, very strong musky smell made worse by automatic air fresher in the halls that spray a strong cover scent. The elevator was out for the length of my stay, being on the second floor it made no real difference to me. The area to store your bag is only semi-secure, it’s a roped off area by the main entrance of the lobby, if the front desk clerk isn’t at the desk the area is open to everyone in the building. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my expensive luggage there, and opted to take it with me as my flight got in well before check in, a bit of a nuisance. At one point the police were in the lobby escorting an older man out of the lobby. (seemingly harmless, acting weird , but trespassing ) lots of police presence which is a good thing. The area feels very safe. At the end of the day this is what you get for the price paid to be on Palm beach - you get what you pay for. The location is an absolute 10/10, everything else is not.
