Breakers North Absolute Beachfront Apartments

Paid $376 non-refundable to stay 2 nights, wound up leaving rather than stay the second night. The only positive things about the place was the location, with a beautiful view of the ocean & mountains, and the shower had hot water & good water pressure. That's it. The current condition of the apartment (15G) is filthy, the photos used in the ad are likely over 10years old. The carpet has heavy staining and lifting throughout. Even the placemats on the dining table were filthy with leftover crumbs and food still attached. The fridge is extremely noisy, as well as the vent in the bathroom which was covered in dust inches thick. The couch was extremely old, worn, and cracked. When I sat on it it sunk right down to the frame. The bedroom ceiling has water stains & mould. When I unfolded the quilt after 10pm the first thing I noticed was what looked like an old bloodstain (amongst other various stains). The customer service was abysmal; the couple behind the counter were extremely stand-offish and surly. The carpark was ludicrous; I almost collided with a vehicle exiting as I was entering because there was no warning from the people at reception nor signs prior to the entry that the fob locations are on the wrong side of the driveway, there are arrows directing exiting cars to drive on the right hand side but nothing for cars entering. During the day on Friday an extremely intrusive and loud drilling started somewhere above or next to the unit I was in. After putting up a with it on/off for an hour, I rang down to reception to ask about it and was first told there's no maintenance scheduled inside, it must be the work going on a few buildings down (it definitely wasn't), then "the pool & spa guys aren't doing maintenance today..." and repeatedly said no maintenance scheduled today before they remembered another unit nearby was having 5 new lights installed and that must be the cause, but "they didn't know that was scheduled for today." ?! When I asked if they knew how long the noise would continue, the response was just a scoff down the phone and: "I dunno, as long as it takes?" The drilling continued throughout the day, I evenutally gave up and checked out at 2:30pm. I regret wasting my money at this place. Wouldn't stay here again no matter how desperate.

Great location... but carpet in unit past its use by date. Not upfront with maintenance in pool area. Once these few things have been upgraded an awesome place to stay.
