This was no way worth $410 for one night. The ratings on expedia were false. The place was filthy, run down and furniture in the room was dirty. Cobwebs hanging in the curtains. I feel like I was robbed by this false advertisement and rating. Shame on this place. I have pictures to provide.

Although they are working on upgrading the carpet throughout the building, my room was filthy. It appears they dropped the ball on room cleanliness to focus on the carpet project. Dirty carpet iny room glass table was not cleaned with child smear marks across it. I had an insect crawl across the bathroom floor while I was trying to relax in the tub. DISGUSTING!! I stayed at less expensive hotels throughout Florida that outshined this property! Do not stay if you can avoid it.

The location is good, the beds are comfortable… finding hospitable, competent staff may be the challenge here. Having stayed here previously, our expectations were set and upon arrival we were informed the elevator was out of service and we’d have a room on the third floor. That was only the beginning of the series of unfortunate events…

Booked they hotels.com and hotel would not honor reservation. Took an hour between multiple staff and a manager and two hotels.com reps before they finally gave me the room I paid for back in August. Hotels.com and the hotel itself didn't offer an apology or any kind of credit for the hastle they put me through.

This hotel is very old and not well kept. Room smelled musty. Had no cable and no guide or anything so had to just pick a random channel and hope it had something good to watch. Teeny tiny shampoo and conditioner and 2 towels for 3 people. Coffee machine did not work and asked for a new one and was ignore.
