A few days later, I started to see bites on me as well (I have since learned that reactions to bed bug bites can be immediate or delayed). I alerted the manager (Paul) at the hotel of our situation. He assured me that an inspection of our hotel room would be performed by pest control services...

In the window sill, there were tons of bugs, from small little black critters to huge black things with wings, tangled in the cobwebs. I wish that we would have taken a picture before cleaning them, ourselves. There were also smears of stains all over the walls in the room, like other people had smashed bugs and housekeeping elected not...

Just walking into the hotel, stains on the walls. dirty trim, all it would take is a good cleaning & painting and this hotel would be fine. Very dissapointed. Luckly we did not experience the bed bugs as I have heard now. but honestly not a good place to stay. do not waster your money.

First of all, bed bugs are a serious accusation and I'd hope a reviewer wouldn't use this term flippantly. I would argue any serious reports of bedbugs would be to the Department of Health and the area would be quarantined, as I've seen happen locally. I saw no evidence of such and frankly suspect the references...

I did not see any bed bugs in my room but I did read that other reviewers on tripadvisor recently who experienced that problem. After my stay there and my interactions with the staff, I can't say that would surprise me at all. Stay away from this place! I don't consider myself someone with high standards when it comes...

While I look forward to trying out Paradise Plaza, the view here, with the proximity to the kite shop's beach display, just can't be beat. Plus you have a Dunkin Donuts directly below the hotel for a morning coffee. The place really has potential, but it's falling well short of it. Other pluses,...

On Aug 22 2012 BreezeOtheSea wrote, ...(we had to call every day and request them!). The pillows and sheets on the bed were deflated and worn. Yuk! The uncleanliness of this hotel would explain why they now have a bed bug infestation. This would also explain why there was a pest control truck there the day of our arrival! We were also awoken several times during the night due to loud and unruly guests. No good all the way around.

I was told there was nothing that could be done about this so I asked to speak to the...

The two pools are deceptively small & not deep-I wouldn't go near them. Noisy....

We had no trouble with parking, the proximity to the beach and boardwalk is fantastic, and our housekeepers...

I actually took the time to contact this reviewer and she stated that the...
