Mixed Results
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

Really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable beds and a clean room. I just really wish our room would have had a mini fridge, it would have made our stay much more enjoyable.

The beds are terribly soft, unsleepable, they charge a $200.00 deposit upon arrival, with 10 to 14 day before return.
They did not tidy up the room and supply clean towels the nest day. We left before staying the second night, they would not refund our second night but the condition of the room and crappy TV we felt like we were in a third world country. DO NOT STAY HERE, !!!!!!!

Fun weekend
Stay was fun. Room was good. A/C unit was a little loud and cut in and out and could use more towels, but overall was a good place.

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.

No in-room refrigerator, no ice machine in the hall, they do not permit coolers in rooms. Other places have more for less.

We enjoyed our stay only negative was there was no bar fridge or microwave in the room and we could have used both. Otherwise it was fine.

It was okay for a last minute trip. It smelled musty and the hallways smelled bad as well. Could be from the water tracked in from the pool though.
