Room was pretty clean. Pool needed some work. Nothing fancy, had dogs in room next to us bark all night and our key card stopped working early morning before checkout. Breakfast was ok. Air conditioner sounded like a diesel truck.

I was very happy with my room. Comfortable bed, soft sheets and pillows. I had a great sleep 😴. My only complaint is the air freshener that is pumped through the lobby and hallways is very toxic and offensive, please tone it down or get rid of it for everyone’s safety.
