Mixed Results
Pros:

Property is older. Location is excellent no car or golf cart needed. Sink did not drain they tried to fix it and offered another room but we choose to say. Night club is loud and their customers can easily access the hotel hallways so not very safe

Pros:

I've stayed at other nearby hotels and this was a pleasant change. Quieter hallways, convenient location, easy parking for guests only. Rooms do not have microwaves or fridges though. Would definitely stay here again.

Pros:

When we arrived the elevator was broken. We asked the manager about it and she told us we had to carry all of our left age up the stairs and did not offer any sort of assistance. Then we get to our floor and there’s a big sign that the ice machine was broken. Finally we arrived at our rooms (we had a total of 3 rooms booked). It was about 85 degrees out and the air conditioning units were turned completely off in all 3 rooms.
