The hotel was very noisy. Hard to get a decent nights sleep. Barking dogs at 6:20 in the morning! Right next door to us. The owners left the dogs unattended while they were out eating or site seeing . The dogs barked all the time they were alone. Loud conversations in the parking lot right below our window.

The hotel was all booked up at the time of my cancellation due to illness. I was charged a full day, even though, the room was possibly rented. I should least of gotten a rain check for my next long future extended stay. I will remember this service I received on my next booking to Fl. No booking with IHG/ Holiday Inn! Bad Business!

What I didn't like is that the hotel had no recyclable, eco-friendly flatware and drinkware. Everything was plastic or styrofoam!!! (really bad for the environment). Only plastic cups. No water glasses in the room. We had to drink the wine from plastic cups.
