Unfortunately our 3-night stay at Big Cypress Lodge was so much less than we anticipated. The lodge itself is decorated very nicely. Security is in place with access to room areas is available only with room key which is needed to run elevators. We also noted security personnel present in halls.
Now for our disappointment with our stay. Our first night as we were settling in, my husband pulled back the sheet and comforter, got into bed and immediately reached down “what is this” and pulled out a pair of women’s underwear from under the covers at the bottom of the “freshly made” bed! I’m sorry, but this was disgusting to us and very surprising considering expectations for this resort. I immediately contacted the “Virtual Concierge” to no avail. I then called the front desk, explained the situation and was told they would send housekeeping up right away, which they did. However, housekeeping did change the bedding, but only on that ONE bed! Come on, if one bed wasn’t properly stripped between guests, most likely the other wasn’t either! This alone indicated to us the less than ideal level of cleanliness and service of this resort. The following day the television went out, we called the front desk and were told that maintenance would be right up, followed by a return call to say that they were aware of the problem and that stations would be returning, one at a time over the next few hours.Not a problem as we we’re heading out for the day. This was never fixed. *cont’d.
