To the Anonymous contributor of the tear sheets from "Trip Advisor:" We do not think it is appropriate to publish derogatory reviews from that web site or others like it on your Blog. These reviews are largely the experiences of hotel guests - the commercial use of the building - and not those of owner-rented units. Anyone interested in reading these reviews may do so at tripadvisor.com .

With great respect to the Blog team I wholeheartedly disagree.
ReplyDeleteAs a man who is watching his investment dwindle in front of him, I must wonder what you are thinking. If there were “tear sheets” distributed in an improper manor, please explain. The spring breakers are indeed a “quality of life issue”.
I don’t live there fulltime, but I have befriended many who do, and many who have moved because of the issues at hand. I am also a father to a 13 year old girl and a 15 year old boy, who are just beginning to form ideas and values on sexuality, relationships, and how young people are supposed to behave.
I started visiting Ocean Manor when I was courting my wife about 30 years ago. I was awestruck at what a refined, and cool place it was. It was ruled with an iron fist by Darlene. Many thought her to be to unyielding, but no one thought she was unfair. No one went thought the lobby in a bathing suit out of respect. No one went down the halls in the middle of the night yelling and screaming. If you left a car there and were not going to be back for a couple of weeks, she would ask that you do not inconvenience other homeowners and place your car with the valet, so as not to occupy the owners parking spots. There was security, exterminating, and maintenance was available to fix things, if it was your responsibility you paid, and the bill was fair. There was yearly audited accounting, and reserves.
I would like to see things returned to that state.
We truly have the “jewel of the mile”’ but we have to fight for it. There is no reason that we can not live in a successful building with a hotel program in it, it just seems that it can not be done with this Board.
I would ask anyone with the time to monitor an outside management company to run for the Board. We have a great set of by laws to work from, and we should start looking for new leadership in the beginning of February.
I bought my unit in a condo hotel for a investment.It is very important that we keep it a condo hotel for investment,with no rental restrictions.I own other units on the beach that you can only rent out 3 times per year.I do agree that we need to enforce rules like no dogs allowed,or no drunks yelling and screaming down the halls.If I wanted restrictions I would of bought a regular condo,not a condo hotel.Our units are worth more because it is a condo hotel,and we can make money with our units.
ReplyDeleteDear Blog Team, I understand your stance but the reviews written in the Trip Advisor reflect badly on OM in general. Although you may think they don't belong on our website,I disagee. I think the purpose of the person who posted them was to demonstrate what a bad reputation the entire building has gotten becaue of the hotel. Regardless of whether you are in the hotel pool or not, we all have to share the public areas (pool, beach) and Frank makes the rules as they go, plus doesn't keep the place looking as nice as it should for all the fees we pay.
ReplyDeleteTiki Bar stinks like puke.
ReplyDeleteHey Bartender, why not spray down everything down with bleach to get rid of that vomit stench. Maybe next time I'll stay for a second over priced tap beer.
