Our last stay was at the Island Winds East. We LOVE the location of this condo, and the rooms are fairly spacious and well appointed. And who can complain about the view? We did notice a very strong paint or paint thinner smell during our stay. I shrugged this off as it was Thanksgiving, and when else can they do updates than in the Winter. However, I couldn't find any evidence of better looking paint. These condos are overall outdated for a B/R property. New paint on the walls and some sprucing up would go a long way. We will stay here again for location. The only other B/R properties close are the All-Suites and Phoenix Gulf Shores. After seeing a friend's room at All-Suites, we won't stay there. It looks more run-down than most of the hotels around. And we wish we could stay at Phoenix Gulf Shores for a decent price, but it's very high, especially in the summer. We stayed there in the past and it's amazing, but it's not affordable. B/R is great, and we have stayed at nearly 3 Phoenix properties and IWE, all of which have been very comfortable and clean. More updates on some properties would be great, and with a little more consistency among properties and opportunities for better summer rates, I would definitely give 5 Stars!
