Our stay was fabulous! I've already recommended the hotel to several people!
Pros:

Everything! The staff was friendly and very helpful. They very accommodating, anticipated my needs, and made sure that they helped me with everything. Jalisa at the front desk, the head of housekeeping, the valet gentleman, and the young lady at the desk at night were the best. I would definitely stay there again!

Cons:

Breakfast was ok - I would have liked a choice of breakfast meat. Only turkey sausage was available. The grits were not good. But, with the other choices, this was ok.

Sunday-Monday staff wonderful, friendly, helpful. Hotel is outdated. Downstairs furniture needs replacing and rooms need
Pros:

The two ladies who checked us in and were there the first two days were absolutely wonderful.
Breakfast was fine - but….
Parking minus the garage worked out just fine with the help of the ladies at the desk.
Hotel was conveniently located. Seemed safe.

Cons:

The biggest problem- which can also be found in Google reviews - the room 404 was WET. Maybe this is normal for the beach - but not for midtown. We felt as if the air was not clean. The carpets were not clean- which made the whole feeling dirty. Bathtub has mold growing.
Breakfast day 1 was fine. However I noticed day 2, that spoons weren’t replenished- and the sugar still had the same deep dip from day 1. Items weren’t refilled and seeming fresh. The oatmeal and grits were good- but my husband expressed disappointment in the eggs, biscuit, and ham.
We checked out a day early - the girl who checked us out -didn’t ask why. Or I would have told her.
Andi came by while we were eating breakfast and asked about our stay- sorry Andi- but that was not the time to ask. I had too much to say.

Pros:

The heat did not work. My room was very cold. My two nights there I had trash in my room on the floor and no one can find my daughter‘s jacket.

Cons:

Whoever they have as a housekeeper supervisor, they need to fire them and they need to find the housekeepers that works there because it’s no way that someone left a big old box of pizza up on underneath my table and other tops and stuff like that up underneath the table as well, so yeah, they need to fire them and whoever stole my daughter jacket. I hope they have fun with it.
