There was a HEAVY mildew smell when we walked in so we turned the ac down to try and get rid of it. That’s when we noticed the top of the window had what looked like packing tape across the top. We couldn’t close the curtain. The beds and bathroom were clean and that’s all we needed it for.

Overall hotel staff are very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, when we checked in, our first room was very musty and smelled of mildew. We asked for a different room and they were able to get us into another room without any hesitation and apologize profusely. Second room was better, but still was musty. I feel that this property needs to update if they want to keep up with the other hotels in Starfall. Overall free breakfast was outstanding in the location is excellent.
