I was told the hotel was in the process of upgrading areas inside and outside. One of the staff went above and beyond service standards to get me a recliner. All with a smile! THANK YOU. :) Most of the staff was gracious and helpful. The room was comfortable with all needs available.

It’s a nice place to stay but a little bit dingy. Had no issues other then going to lobby everyday because door key didn’t work. Cat feeding outside maybe further down or something not by door.

The hotel does a good job for the most part. Rooms are comfortable. There are a couple front desk persons that go above and beyond service standards. Both gentlemen did things for me and another guest that was very impressive. Kudos to both and thank you!

This property is a cheap dress on a pig, average-at-best renovation last round. Room cleanliness was okay but the bathroom REEKED of someone having chain-smoked 3 packs straight in there. Heat was inadequate for a cold night in central FL (42 deg. low); struggling HVAC unit could not get above 70 and blew cool air all night. Woke up with a head cold from sucking that air.

Room missing furniture. Stated new is on order. Damaged in storm is why. On second floor? Really no other resolution given. Limited items in kitchenette compared to Staybridge Suites, Other than these suggestions pleasant stay.

Clean hotel/ good value for a last minute soccer tournament where all of the close by hotels were either fully booked or way over priced. Easy drive around, clean and spacious room
