Hotel seemed clean but room felt dirty. Was very humid in the room and sheets felt damp. Found a hair on mg sheets . Bathroom floor was dirty. There was a random black washcloth on the bathroom vanity with hair on it. This hotel has white towels and linens .

The gentleman who checked us in was quite nice. The room was fine. The problem with our stay was loud music and loud voices from the pool below our room, which continued uninterrupted until midnight. Why would you allow a few individuals to inconvenience your guests? You should have an earlier closing for the pool.

Needs an update

The shower shows signs of mold and the bathroom as a whole wasn't as clean as I'd expect. They forgot to dust some of the main furniture in the room too. Not my favorite place.
