I was drawn to this hotel from a review that described it as a "hidden gem." Upon arrival I found my greeting to be underwhelming. The person who checked me in gave no smile and I felt as if they couldn't wait for me to stop asking clarifying questions. As a solo traveler and mom to a young child I wanted nothing more then quiet relaxation and a few good nights sleep. I found my room to be small though clean and updated. My room was right next to the pool so at first I was worried it would be loud, but it wasn't and it was actually really nice to be able to slip right out of my room for a dip. The pool area was lovely with palm trees all around and protected from the wind off the ocean. It was a short walk from my room to the beach which was also lovely and chaise loungers were provided to relax on. I would describe Redington as a quiet beach town, very walkable to cafes and food. IF YOU WANT A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO GET IT. I found the bed to be lumpy and uncomfortable. Even worse were the bright lights shining through the flimsy shades on the windows coming from the pool/walkway on one side of the room and parking lot on the other side of the room. The noise outside the room at night was unbelievable! A staff member was rolling a mop bucket which sounded like a giant, rumbling storm around 2 am every night. The first night I stuck my head out the door because I was so alarmed and informed them how loud it was yet they continued to do it every night.
