The location is good, the beds are comfortable… finding hospitable, competent staff may be the challenge here. Having stayed here previously, our expectations were set and upon arrival we were informed the elevator was out of service and we’d have a room on the third floor. That was only the beginning of the series of unfortunate events…

Booked they hotels.com and hotel would not honor reservation. Took an hour between multiple staff and a manager and two hotels.com reps before they finally gave me the room I paid for back in August. Hotels.com and the hotel itself didn't offer an apology or any kind of credit for the hastle they put me through.

This hotel is very old and not well kept. Room smelled musty. Had no cable and no guide or anything so had to just pick a random channel and hope it had something good to watch. Teeny tiny shampoo and conditioner and 2 towels for 3 people. Coffee machine did not work and asked for a new one and was ignore.

We booked the hotel due to Hurricane Milton and it is no wonder it was the only one available. The place was so dirty that walking from the bathroom to the bed resulted in black feet. This was not due to the storm.

When we arrived we were assigned a room that had a very moldy smell. They swapped us to a room that had very loud guest. Note, All rooms had an adjoining room with a locked door between them. The neighbors were up and loud until 11 pm, then they awoke us at 6 am screaming at each other. And lastly gnats in the room, in the hallway and in the dining area.
