At first glance, the sea net hotel in Tel Aviv looked great. The lobby is clean, it has a dining room, conference room, and ~65 rooms. However, with a closer look, there is chipping paint, an unwelcoming staff, and an elevator that works 50% of the time. Once we arrived in the room, we instantly noticed the smell. The curtains, beds, sheets, carpet, and entire room smelled of smoke. When we approached the staff to help irrigate the smell, they gave us the “cleaning spray” and told us to do it ourselves. This “cleaning spray” smelled even worse than the smoke smell. Speaking of the sheets, on my 4th night I found a used band aid in the bed, and my friends found feces and blood stains. The housekeeping in the sea net hotel needs work, and that is a fact. There was even mold growing on the walls and the keycards to the rooms stopped working. We were even locked out to the bathroom and we’re told to fix it ourselves. The inside of the elevator was clean only every other day and only worked sometimes. While in the elevator we decided to visit the other floors to see if they were as bad as ours, when we reached floor 5, we found that it was completely unfinished, the walls are not up, wires are everywhere, machinery is everywhere, and mattresses were covering the floor. The roof wasn’t much better. On the roof, there is an entire shed filled with mattresses and chairs. There is also an abandoned bar and the leftovers of a bar/ restaurant. We even found some alcohol in a drawer. Finally, the food. The breakfast eggs were watery, and “melted our insides with each bite”. The rest got eh breakfast food was dry and looked like it was made by 5 year olds and not professional chefs. The best part was the toast. The dinner was constantly a mystery meat and when we asked what it was, we were declined an answer. The rice that accompanied the meat didn’t taste real. Overall, the Sea Net hotel is a sad replacement for what it once seemed to be. It seems like it could become its former self again with lots of work. The management team needs to step it up and take a role in bringing this hotel back. The one saving grace of the Sea Net hotel is its close proximity to the beach and the beautiful sunset and sunrise views from the roof.
