This was clean enough and basically fine, but the street traffic noise was immense. Far too loud for a hotel. I would imagine some areas of the hotel aren’t as loud, but the room they put me in was facing the highway out front and was ridiculously noisy.

Loved the floors - no carpet! Plenty of towels and washcloths, and they were big and fluffy. Bed was very comfortable and TV was easy to operate. Only downside was all coffee was decaf, no regular. Overall, great value for the money.

Great spot for our Spring Training Trip

This is a well-maintained property with a lovely Tiki Bar and pool. We were there to see Spring Training Baseball at the Pirates site a few miles away. It was a great location for that.

The property is under renovation from the hurricane. The room was clean and nice. The people we dealt with were nice and knowledgeable. The only downside was the noise. I heard people in the breezeway and the next room and the airport. I m a very light sleeper so that should be considered. I woiuld stay there again

Karen

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Due to first impressions and the visible damage to the exterior and plastic covering the windows of several rooms, we asked to see the rooms before checking in. The odors walking to the room were bad enough, but the strong chemical smell inside the room gave me an instant headache and due to a recent illness I would not have been physically able to stay there. I requested a refund and was denied. Told I had to pay for both nights since I provided a credit card when reserving. I disputed through Expedia and they only called the hotel, who refused the refund again. Surprise! The photos on the site are grossly misleading compared to the actual property. Do NOT book here, and do NOT give your credit card. I have photos if I can get them added.
