Nordvind Beach Resort — Hotel in Treasure Island

I had drove down to Tampa for business. Decided to stay a few day. I should have read all of the reviews. First of all my husband and I arrived around 6pm. No one was at the front desk the door was locked. There was a note on the door for instructions for after hours check in. Since when is 6pm after hours. After 2 phone calls I was told our room key was under the door mat. Not happy about that what so ever. We go up to our room. Our door was unlocked. The room was filthy. Dirty dishes left in the dishwasher. Ants in the countertops. The dishes in the cabinet were dirty. Ice maker had a big chunk of ice. Which tells me no one had emptied or cleaned it in a long time. There was rust of the refrigerator. The floor hadn’t been swept. I went to the store and bought cleaning supplies. I spent 4 hours cleaning. Apparently at late night the hotel workers party around the pool and smoke pot. We spent 5 nights. Wanted a refund. Absolutely no refunds. When checking out. There was a young couple in the office. The door was locked. They wouldn’t let me inside. The young man came outside. When I told him we were checking out. And I spent 4 hours cleaning the place. It was cleaner now than when we checked in. His comment was “Thanks man”. The only thing this place has going for...

Just returned from Nordvind Resort with my wife. We always look to say something positive. So, location is good, you can go to Johns Pass in 10minutes walking. If you like to fish, just a few yards from your doorstep. Office folk were accommodating. so far so good. Oh and if you want to stay on the beach, it was affordable. Now for the tough part. It is so dated, which I don't understand. If they would put some effort into it it could be a nice place. It isn't. Pool was dirty, grounds were in need of some serious landscaping. Needed a step ladder to get in and out of the shower. Good water pressure though. Wasn't terribly clean and had a $300 dollar camp bed (what we call a weekend bed) when you don't want company to stay more than the weekend. The worst thing was how the glass front doors rattled and howled. You have to stay there to understand. It was awful. The wind would blow the sliding doors and the blinds would rattle. The noise would keep you up all-night. The balcony chairs were so rusted out on the legs we had to lay them down because they rocked in the wind and made a horrible racket. To some it all up, my wife has told me from now on she will pick the accommodations. The "resort" has promise but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone until they put some serious coin into it...

The views were beautiful from the balcony and it was within easy walking distance to shopping and restaurants. That being said the place was a dump, there was rarely anyone in the office to help you, and our room was old and dated. The kitchen formica was chipped and our dishwasher would not drain. We were woken up at midnight by someone pounding on the door yelling they needed to come in, they didn't identify themselves or say why. It scared us to death, finally he told us our dishwasher was overflowing into the unit below us. When the maintenance man came the next day he said we used the wrong kind of soap which was all that was left for us and just run it and it would be fine. When we ran it, it still wouldn't drain. The bathroom was moldy and the toilet seat had poop on the back of the seat. The place smelled clean but it obviously was not! The mattress was so old, a mattress topper had been provided but it was worthless. Our backs hurt every morning. People would come in off the beach and party in the pool and the hot tub until the wee hours of the morning. We ended...
