We were able to check in about 1.5 hrs early and it really helped to start our short vacation. The room was clean and all staff in the hotel were very friendly.

The front desk people had HORRIBLE attitudes. I evacuated from Hurricane Ida and they were very inconsiderate and nasty towards my family.
