The biggest asset for this property is the staff. They are friendly and accommodating - I've been at big hotels where the staff was professional, but this place made me feel welcome. I was there during spring break so everything was booked and it was loud and noisy till one in the morning. Also, it's very close to a main street which made it very hard to sleep due to noise although the property has some great amenities there's a lot that needs to be repaired.

The photos on the app must have been taken years ago. Property outside was shabby and minimally clean. The pool was very small and did not appear sanitary. Breakfast offered was minimal. Our room seemed to be clean enough and everything was functional. Seemed to be only one staff.
