This property has lots of potential and the staff is what makes it decent. They’re very communicative and attentive. The first room we were in had a strong musty odor but because of timing for check in and soccer games I couldn’t do much about it the first day. Desk manager texted us and I let them know that I’d likely request a room change the following day and they were very accommodating. The room also had a pretty musty smell. It was very hot/humid in town while we were there so I’m sure that contributed but there has to be away to cut down on this. It was so bad the first night by morning I woke up with a pounding headache.

I liked that the property owners were present. The hotel was very clean. From the minute you walked in everyone smiled greeted you very professionally. Free breakfast was great the selection varied day to day. The restaurant hours were great & very accommodating. The pool was clean & pool towels were offered. We had an issue with something in our room & it was taken care of immediately. Would definitely stay here again.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Unless you want freakshow townies asking you for money every time you step out of the hotel. Stay here if you want housekeeping to come into your room but not clean anything or change the sheets even if you are staying more than a week. Definitely stay here if you are planning on cutting your trip short because the hotel sucks - they are just going to keep the money and not refund you a single cent. For those wondering, I had reserved 25 days, lasted 4 and the hotel is pocketing about $3,000. For a really bad experience - definitely stay here.
