The room was clean. The place was very nice. Amenities were updated and modern. You can tell it was an updated older hotel. The water pressure was good but the water temperature was difficult to maintain. If you weren’t careful it could be extremely hot or cold and could barely stay even luke warm. I also wish you didn’t have to pay to park on-site.

He put us in an ADA room next to the gym and coffee shop. we didn't need an ADA room and told him so. He declined to relocate us saying he had nothing. we stayed 3 nights. The place was a ghost town. Empty pools, empty beach, not a fully booked hotel. He just didn't feel like it. AC unit was rusted out. Killed giant roachlike bugs near bed.
