Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unwelcoming. We are repeat visitors to the Arvilla. We were disappointed that their remodeling after hurricanes in 2024 was limited to some new bathroom and kitchen fixtures. No heat in the unit. No front desk and no service. My wife called the number we were told to call to fir assistance to ask for an extra comforter (no heat.. did I mention no heat?) and no one called back or brought one. We we issued two towels for a week and told to wash them ourselves. We were also told that we had to buy our own toilet paper and paper towels and soap when the small supplies left for us were depleted. Lastly the beds were nice but the whole place just seems sort of thrown together with some fresh paint. While the neighboring hotels on both sides have nice landscaping there is none here. Just a barren stretch of scrappy sand between this motel and the beachwalk promenade. No effort or caring put into the whole presentation. The environment in summary is very downscale unnecessarily. One bonus is they did redo the kitchemettes in the units and put in new refrigerators since we were there in 2023. Overall though not worth the price at same price level as some of the better places on Gulf Boulevard.
