Everyone of the staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was very quiet. Breakfast was really excellent, fresh with a different selection of hot items each day we were there. And we really appreciated having fresh coffee available in the lobby all day. We had a wonderful stay.

The toilet in our room didn’t flush when we got there. We asked for another room but the hotel was booked. The front desk person suggested to jiggle the inside of the toilet on our own. A maintenance person was never sent.

We had to switch rooms three times. The 1st room was leaking water all over the bathroom from the ceilingand was flooded, the second room that they gave us as an(upgrade for our troubles) we entered our room and was hit with smells that were so bad we did not even wanna leave our suitcases in there to go downstairs to speak to the night clerk. It was so pungent and nasty. We had to get another room. The property around this place is kind of wooded and there were people hanging out in the parking lot drinking and we saw a prostitute. I would not suggest this property to anyone. I travel very frequently to Florida and the Florida Keys. (about every two months). If you are looking to have a clean room and can go to sleep with feeling secure in your hotel room, this is not the hotel for you. The night clerk was very friendly and helpful. That’s about all I can say.

Overall a great stay for the price. Easy check in/out. Clean pool and room. Some issues with ants in the room and some things not working (TV, bathroom fan, pancake machine), but we also didn’t bring it up because we were only staying one night and it wasn’t too big of a deal. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Excellent service and consideration of my senior limitations both from the desk clerk and the shuttle driver. Both went beyond what was necessary. In the morning I asked for a late check out and the accommodation was made without any angst. It is so nice to have things be done easily.
