needs improvement
The room smelled of mold. The carpet was somewhat wet. The air conditioning didn’t keep the room cool and would shut off and on even if fan was set to on. The room was humid - even though we’re in florida there are ways to mitigate that. The bathroom was dirty and the shower floor was extremely dirty w black foot prints. Customer service was lacking - not inviting or welcoming.

Would book again
Hotel was good, slightly dated on some points inside room, but nice spacious bedrooms and general areas good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only the swimming pool at the front of the property was bit strange, probably why no one used it.

Love the interior and outdoor activites though
Received texts welcoming you, and even during your stay asking if everything is according to expectation. I said yes, but since they asked, told them the first light in the room blew out right when we first arrived so they said they will send someone to replace bulb. Bulb was never replaced during our 3 day stay. Why even ask?

Nice
Overall was a very comfortable stay for my family. Beds were nicely made and clean. The only thing I thought was that whoever laid the bathroom tile did a bit of a sloppy job. There were smears on the corners of the tub from the caulking. Other than that, the bathroom did look and small clean.

Questionable Room
We have stayed here a number of times in the past. This is the first time on the first floor. The room seemed old and dingy. Our other rooms have never had an issue with humidity, but this room did. We really like the location of the hotel but not this particular room.

Hotel itself is nice and updated! Lovely outside courtyard and inside bar/lounge/lobby areas! Room itself needed some work on cleanliness and maintenance/repairs. But overall stay was nice! Very quiet and conveniently located right off highway!

It was okay. The room had a musty smell which I thought was because it was hot, but we had the air going while we were away and it still had the faint musty smell once we returned. Also, the bathroom could have been cleaned a little better. There was hair in the shower, but I always bring my own cleaning supplies. It was okay for the night but I’ll never book there again.
