On Thursday, about 4pm, We unloaded car and got into the elevator. We ended up being STUCK for approximately 10 minutes before help arrived. It was miserable as there is no ventilation in the elevator, and my girlfriend and I nearly passed out. This experience was a first for me. On Friday, I left the premises for a few hours, leaving my girlfriend to nap in the room. I placed the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. While I was gone, someone (a black male) banged on the door very loudly, waking up my girlfriend who was very frightened. She asked the man what he wanted and he said he was from house cleaning, and wanted to know if the room needed cleaning. She had to initial his check-list. The next day (Saturday), we both were gone and noticed upon our return that the trash cans were empty, even though the "Do Not Disturb" sign had remained on the door. Either "house cleaning" is reading -challenged, or your policy stinks ! I reported all the above to the hotel desk when I checked out Sunday @ 11am.

The desk staff is slow. The place hasn’t been updated in forever. The door to the bathroom just clears the toilet by a smidge. The tv sound was going in & out and was in Spanish. Didn’t even try to get someone to fix it st 8 pm if my techno hubbie couldn’t. Free breakfast was nothing fresh. Kid boxes of cereal and small Entemann like pastries.Definitely way too expensive for what you get.

The staff was very nice & accommodating. Nice access to the beach & chairs/unbrellas available for use. The hotel was dated and could use a good cleaning but the beds were comfy & sheets & towels were clean. We didnt eat breakfast so cant comment on that.

Overpriced considering there are very few continental "breakfast" items, dirty sink, sand on the windowsill & counters, and old coffee maker with horrible coffee. If it wasn't within walking distance from the beach, it would be a 2-star hotel. I did appreciate the parking.

Winning stay at DeSoto Beach Hotel!

Friendly and helpful staff always make a difference! Direct beach access was the true winner. There is nothing that compares to that convenience! Bring your own beach towels, umbrella, chairs, etc. If you forget the hotel has those for rent.

It was an older property, but we'll maintained. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was minimal, but fresh. Employees were helpful and friendly. It was great being able to walk out to the beach. The pool was nice too, and I was told it is heated and cooled as needed
