Property is older. Location is excellent no car or golf cart needed. Sink did not drain they tried to fix it and offered another room but we choose to say. Night club is loud and their customers can easily access the hotel hallways so not very safe

I've stayed at other nearby hotels and this was a pleasant change. Quieter hallways, convenient location, easy parking for guests only. Rooms do not have microwaves or fridges though. Would definitely stay here again.

When we arrived the elevator was broken. We asked the manager about it and she told us we had to carry all of our left age up the stairs and did not offer any sort of assistance. Then we get to our floor and there’s a big sign that the ice machine was broken. Finally we arrived at our rooms (we had a total of 3 rooms booked). It was about 85 degrees out and the air conditioning units were turned completely off in all 3 rooms.

The beds are terribly soft, unsleepable, they charge a $200.00 deposit upon arrival, with 10 to 14 day before return. They did not tidy up the room and supply clean towels the nest day. We left before staying the second night, they would not refund our second night but the condition of the room and crappy TV we felt like we were in a third world country. DO NOT STAY HERE, !!!!!!!

The room was clean but the entire hotel has a musty mildew smell. Also, drunk men in the hallways harassing you anytime you step out of your room. But that can happen anywhere. When you go to the pool there’s no towels, so you have to bring them from your own room which is annoying. But, it is a cool pool area and the location is great for walking to pretty much anywhere. I love that Level 2 is attached, it made going out in the evening really easy.
