Nice stay, free laundry and a place to grill out. Pool was small but nice. Full kitch in my room was nice. Elevator was broke so we had to haul up to the 3rd floor which was annoying. Should have gotta discount for that. Sold 10+ minute drive to Pensacola Beach.

Elevator was broke the entire time and I was on the 4th floor. I had to carry bags up and down 4 flights of stairs every day. I also got stuck on the elevator when there was no out of order sign on the outside of the doors.
