Find the Cheap Manitou Beach Hotels

I booked a room with balcony as I was thinking it would be nice to sit out there in the evening or early morning, I paid the extra price for a balcony to be very very disappointed, the room is old and worn,if you sit on the balcony It was right above the restaurant next to the exhaust fan for the cooking,so as soon as you opened any door or window that's all you could smell, that fat Greasy fast food smell,so I couldn't sit on my balcony so it was a waste of the extra $ I paid,the sink in my room was very slow to drain,probably blocked,I never used the shower as we showered at the pool,I was only here for 2 nights,so I never complained but if I had of been staying longer I would have complained,the mineral pool like the rest of the place is tired,old/ run down,considering the prices they charge no investment is being made on the up keep,in the pool its self it's scruffy,some sad tropical plants that really need to be scrapped or looked after better,there is the spin dryer in the changing room for your swim suits which is a great idea,but again it smells,I'm assuming it never gets cleaned ,not a lot to do In the area but there is a drive in movie on at the weekends,and aqua fit in the pool on a Monday,I didn't do either as I didn't realize they were on until I was leaving. This could be a lovely facility but needs an injection of cash. The elevator is very, very slow,often, you are better using the stairs, I only came here to experience the salt pool and now I've done that I won't be returning, which is a shame as I drove from Alberta, so a long drive for me,but I don't appreciate being ripped off for accommodation that doesn't live up to the $ I paid,for 2 nights I paid $480 no breakfast included, with a balcony I couldn't sit on and enjoy,which also needed cleaning and sweeping outside,you provided with an old rag,but seriously I had to wait for my room to be ready when I arrived,and I still had to clean my own balcony furniture, not acceptable for the price I paid, there was a microwave in the room,fridge and a safe,the little beach over the road does have a few chairs and tables provided if you get there early enough in the day.
