Gulf Strand Resort Saint Pete Beach

We recently stayed at Gulf Strands Resort, unit 306 June 4-8. We were completely disgusted at the condition of our unit and will not being staying again and neither will our friends or family. Below are the listed issues with our unit:

*unit tile was sticky and dirty
*doors were dirty with food drippings and hand prints
*sliding glass doors were broken and shades did not completely close
*mats in bathroom were visibly dirty with grime and hair, walking in socks made the bottom of our feet filthy
*bed sheets were torn and stained (we had to go buy our own sheets and comforter)
*the TV remote was not functional and the battery case was held on with a band-aid
*the washer broke and began smoking during a load of laundry
*mildew and mold in both bathrooms (we had to buy bleach to clean them ourselves)

This company should really make more of an effort to inspect units before renting them. It is such a shame because Gulf Strands is located in a prime location in St Pete Beach and was reasonably priced (not when you consider the mess we had to deal with) compared to other resorts. If we were not so much in love of the location we would have packed and left this resort. HORRIBLE!
