    I loved that our pets were allowed to come with us. The room was huge and spacious and we did not feel crammed with the 4 adults and 3 pets. Although our pets are small, our adult children are not. the only thing I didnt like were the pillows. They flatten so quick.

    The GFCI kept tripping in the bathroom rendering all plugs near the headboards useless. Ended up having to sleep on the sofa sleepper with my head at the foot of the bed for my CPAP. No cups to rinse mouth, take medicine, etc. We had 5 guests and only 4 pillows. Breakfast was super minimal. Our door didn’t even close properly. Won’t be coming back or recommending.

    There had recently been a water break. The hotel was filthy and everything smelled musty. Elevator was down for half the stay. First room was so awful we were going to leave but went ahead and took the third floor room they put us in because it was very late. Our room was avearge but there was majot construction going on in the hotel all around us. Would not stay here again.

    Room was in bad shape, floor damage near window, waterfall off the roof by my window, sink sprayed water sideways, first room smelled of smoke and it was the only handicap room..., electrical buzzing coming from outlet next to bed, microwave plug had to be put in just right to make connection, pillows were tiny and there were stains on the couch. Room 211 was smokey and 209 had all the issues listed above. Hot tub was not working for the rest of the season due to renovations.

    Arrived to the property, was told that they were working on the hot water. The hot water should be restored by nighttime, no hot water still. Called downstairs and the manager stated that maintenance forgot to turn the water temperature back up that they would return to fix the problem. Woke up the next morning still no hot water. The hotel worker asked if the previous worker had offered to change rooms and he did not. The new worker did let me switch rooms so that I could shower and rest. So not the best first experience.

    Nice hotel, nice staff, biggest problem is they control the AC from the office. I work outside all day to come to the room to find it sitting at 75 degrees while it’s set at 68. Isn’t a huge deal but kind of sucks when you been outside all day and now you have to wait for your room to cool down so that you can cool down.

    The first room that we had the blinds didn’t work so they gave us a different room and the ac was making noises. We had housekeeping only one day. In our last night we had very loud people next door. I call the front desk twice but no one went to the second floor to check what was going on. Very disappointed. Very expensive.

    Bathrooms were very outdated and shower/tub was almost non operational. Rooms were stale and carpets were not very clean. Even the closet had a broken pole for hanging clothes. Breakfast was limited and not appealing. The rooms were spacious and did have a fridge, so that was nice. The biggest issue is our room keys didn’t work on the second day, and we had to wait in line behind others with the same issue. Somehow, another person’s keys worked on OUR room, but luckily they quickly realized it was the wrong room. Not overly safe feeling…

    When we arrived later in the day to finally check in the staff was much more helpful however, the cars that were underneath the awning for guest check-in stayed there all afternoon and night and didn’t allow access easy for customers to park and move luggage without getting wet. The first employee we encounter did not make a good first. Impression.

    Not a great experience and don't know who to blame, Hotels.com let me book a room at a hotel that has no power due to the hurricane. It has been 3 days since the hurricane and I'm wondering how it was even allowed to book the room? So instead my family and I had to stay in a hot house with no electricity because it was too late to try and find a room. Very very poor and now I don't trust the app.

Returned at 2:30 & and was told it was ready and would have to pay $25 fee for early check- in. I was told we could not check in unless I paid the $25. We waited in front until 2:58 when he told me we could now check in.

    Worse hotel ever, as soon as we entered our room it smell like dogs had being living there, there was a roach in one corner of the room and also dog food on another part of room. Looked like they didn’t clean the room before we came in. We went down stairs and the attitude of the lady was so rude with an attitude. We ask her to have some one to go and clean it while we went to get something to eat because there was no way we were eating in that room. When we came back the dog food was still there and the roach. We went down again to speak to them and she said that they had clean it but they probably forgot to clean that up. This is not acceptable I told her. With an attitude she send one to vacuum the room. She never asked us if we wanted to change rooms like she didn’t care. I will never stay there again. Worse experience ever!!! Thank god it was just two days that we stayed there. I do not recommended to anyone!!!

    Property had been closed for two weeks due to a storm. We were the only guests in house. The facility was sparkling clean, and the staff were great. The only downside was that because they only reopened 2 hours before we arrived, the pool did not have time to reheat, there was no fruit, milk or yogurt for the breakfast bar and both the internet and the elevator were still out and needing to be reset. None of this really impacted our stay though. We would gladly stay there again. The price was reasonable for what we got, and the staff were accommodating. And they have bowls full of the most amazing key-lime candy mints :)

    The room was spacious, however there was hair in the bathtub, hair around the sink. The floors were not vacuumed, and smelled horrible! The rooms are outdated and needs updating. We booked double rooms and one room came with one towel, when asking for more towels they asked for used ones first. We never had them to give back. The outside hasn’t been mowed, very dirty property. My husband spotted a silver fish in the bathtub! Disgusting! Outside trash overflowing! I’m highly disappointed. Money wasted.

    The hotel is older, but it is very tidy and clean. The staff was kind, and even though we were in the breakfast area a little late we were not made to feel rushed. The attendant even asked if we were going to get anything else before beginning to put the food away! We've stayed here several times over the years, mostly for 1- 2 night stays, and it has always been enjoyable. Our only hiccups this time were that the toilet stopped up, and the plunger kept coming off of the handle. Also, there was no rod on one of the toilet paper dispensers. So the roll kept falling off. Other than that, the stay was pleasant.

TV went out morn of 3rd day. Was near 7 pm (and second request) to get it checked. Offered a room change, but was too late and we were too tired to mess with moving to another room. Left next am.
