Room was nice and clean,but I was given room 120. It was in the back of the hotel where a lot of construction was going on and construction workers outside drinking and load. I’ve stayed there a few times this month,this was the first time this happened.

The price was great, everything else about the property (except the staff) was average. The rooms were clean and most were upgraded but were still kind of lacking. The water pressure in the shower was definitely not strong. Because of the price there was a very wide range of people staying and not all were savory. Definitely more middle age individuals hanging at the bar so not ideal for younger adults. The staff were all amazing and extremely helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel room was spacious and very clean however as soon as we walked in the room there was a very foul odor not sure exactly what it was because it did look clean. I understand it may be due to the recent hurricane that passed through that area so its understandable. Also the walls are very thin and you could hear all sounds from the cars to airplanes and alot of birds chirping in the hotel tree bushes right outside our room. The hotel did provide ear plugs and other amenities including a keurig coffee machine. The shower and bathtub was also great. Overall for a one night stay it was ok. Just needs a little more maintenance and maybe take down nearby bushes.
