Hotels Near Walgreens in Jensen Beach

We've stayed at dozens of Holiday Inn properties around the world, so the brand has always seemed like a safe choice for us. The Port St. Lucie property changed our impression, primarily because it is in dire need of updating. They're in the process right now, but they should have done this decades ago. Our room was very dark--adding insult to injury, one of the primary lamps was inoperative--and the furnishings were very old and heavily worn. Additionally, the hotel staff was very stingy with the toiletries they provided. When we checked in, our room had one tiny bar of soap and a single one-ounce tube of shampoo. Finally, the restaurant opens too late to be of use for guests who have early working-hour meetings or early travel. At the very least, the restaurant should open at 6:00 AM instead of 7:00 AM. That said, the people who worked the front desk when we checked in were kind, friendly, helpful, and professional. I will be much more wary of Holiday Inn's trustworthiness in my future travels.

Nice rooms and services. Very friendly staff

The check in front desk clerk (Jill) was not very friendly. I asked her if It was possible to get a king room and she frowned and was like no, then gave my co worker a king room. She acted as if we were getting free rooms, when my company is paying well for us to stay at the hotel. The hotel is on the old style and my bathroom was not as clean as it should have been, there was hair in the tub and they only clean the rooms on the 5th day of your stay so these rooms should be spotless. The Tissue box in my bathroom was also empty. My co workers said that the Hilton Suites 2 was much better, but they were full so my company had to book us here. The morning front desk crew were all very friendly and accommodating. I have stayed at other Hampton Inns but this one was just mediocre. The breakfast wasn't that good either, the bacon was actually burnt, so you picked it up and besides being black it cracked because it was crispy burnt. Hampton Inn in Stuart needs to upgrade and do better.

I was leary of this hotel because it was a Best Western and the price was good but I was very happy with our stay. This hotel was nicely updated and EXTREMELY clean. It was very family-oriented, pet friendly and had a great breakfast in the morning. The exterior was nicely maintained and clean and very well-lit. It was right in the heart of Stuart Florida in a safe part of town. Close to restaurants and downtown nightlife.

When reviewing this property, it appears that you are staying at a well run Marriott resort, but we were not impressed. Our room in the Sandpiper had been updated, which is what the online pictures reflected. The pillows were as fluffy as the bath towels and even though you are provided two, it makes no difference. The dishwasher in the room could not even open all the way due to the way the kitchen area was set up which didn’t allow us to load the large plates in the dishwasher. We ate at the Sandpiper bar area for lunch twice. The first time, the service and the food was terrible. They brought us two separate entrees because they weren’t sure what we ordered. Our drinks were not refilled. My cheeseburger cheese had been visibly scraped off and my son’s chicken fingers were not cooked all the way through. At the pool, another day, we attempted to order a drink and chips and salsa at 5:00 but were told since they were closing at 5:30, there was no way this could happen. The second time we ate lunch at the bar, Marriott executives were present, eating lunch at the bar, and it was a vastly different experience. All of the employees were in their uniforms and we were checked on, asked if our food came out correctly, and our drinks were refilled. Each room is only allotted two beach chairs and an umbrella, which is not included in the resort fee. We are a family of four, so this was annoying. The next day we went to the beach at 10:30, there was no one at the beach rental area. They returned at 11:30 and they allowed us to rent four chairs the next day, which was a good change! The pool is dirty along the wall of chairs with old goldfish crackers and overall needs a good cleaning. All in all, we will not be back to this resort. It was very disappointing for the amount we paid each day to stay at this maximum three star experience.

Chose this hotel for location, reasonable price and liked that breakfast was included. Not very welcoming staff, paint stains on the elevator floor, stains on the sofa in the room. The breakfast offerings were very sp**** and not very appetizing….scrambled eggs consisted of big chunks, rubbery, tasteless turkey sausage, yogurt, cereal, couple of bananas and oranges, pre-packaged bagels. Next day, offerings were the same, but there was no yogurt. The icing on the cake was the coffee. There were 2 urns which were not labeled as decaf and regular. I asked the breakfast attendant whic one was decaf and was told that they both were regular. I asked to have some decaf and was told that there wasn’t any. So I decided on tea, but all were regular so I asked the attendant for decaf tea and when they retuned I was told that there wasn’t any. Omg….unbelievable…..talk about missing the mark on the basics. Said, sorry… and they could put in an order which would be here by the afternoon….a lot of good that would do right then! The next morning, same eggs….and what appeared to be hash…we did not bother to eat and just got coffee. The next day we couldn’t face going to the breakfast area again, so we went out and had a wonderful breakfast…..well worth paying for! Housekeeping…be it as our room was not attended to, we inquired at the front desk and were told that guests had to request housekeeping. Maybe guests should be informed of this at check in? Right?! Returned to the room in the evening and room was attended to, but tissues were not replenished…so had to go down to the front desk. One day I wanted to fill the ice bucket, and walked up and down the floor and could not find an ice machine. I asked an attendant and was told that it was on the 3rd floor…. Went to the 3rd floor and still could not find the ice machine….asked another attendant and was told that it was on the 4th floor….it was there, however because there is only one elevator, it took a while for it to arrive. So annoying! We have never had such a bad experience at a Marriott hotel which was not up to Marriott’s reputation. The best part of the stay was leaving.

Awesome location. Close to everything.
