I stayed while evacuated from Florida and we had NO WATER. They were rude when called about it and said we have no running water...we have no idea when we will have it...so leave if you dont like it but we arent refunding you to stay somewhere else. Wouldnt stay again.

Property was very modern and contemporary. Rooms were nice but very basic and a little noisy. Breakfast was very basic, mostly continental. Rate was reasonable. I should have paid a luttle more fore a hot breakfast.

Overall, I really like the property! A few little things bothered me in my room. First, there was not hot water in my faucet. And the floors felt gritty when I walked in my bare feet, but everything else was great. I would stay again.

My husband, my cavapoo and I, just stayed one night. We are remodeling a nearby home. We liked the easy checkin, breakfast, cleanlyness of the room and lobby . The cavapoo was relaxing in the cool quiet room while we were away. The check out at 12p.m. was convenient.

Overall great stay for a month as I was attending training. Breakfast was acceptable, though several times the breakfast service was ended early, 9am closing instead of 10am. Was expecting more storage space for folded and hanging clothes. a single washer and dryer for the whole hotel is a risk if one of the machines broke. both were working for my stay

The pictures of the property are old and outdated. The hotel is not as it appears when booking and the breakfast bar was nothing nice. Loud area with sketchy surroundings. Upon arrival to check in staff members were unfriendly and charged me due to booking through Expedia which they called a third party vendor and treated us differently due to using Expedia instead of booking with them.

Brown Water
Everything was good until the end of the trip when our shower started pouring brown water out for over 3 hours. It was disgusting and we left our trip early due to this.
