Train your front desk they don't know what they are doing. They couldn't find in the reservation and double charged for each room. Need to have your cleaning people clean better. And your signature cookies are a joke your front desk people eat them unless you know about them and ask they don't offer
Have stayed at property numerous times while in town diving the springs. Staff is always great, rooms are clean. Unfortunately this last trip I did have scuba gear stolen out of my truck. There are no cameras in the parking lot and a lot of homeless around. Stay vigilant and keep your vehicles locked up if staying here.
Too much late night walkers making noise in hallway and way too much Marijuana smoking in or on property ... disliked because my kids were exposed to it ... great staff ... very friendly and helpful ... easy checkout process
Great location. Nice staff. Very comfortable bed and room. Pet friendly! I was traveling alone and felt very safe. I would definitely stay there again!

Decent property but could be cleaner. Common area needed cleaning, floors and elevators. Also
Bathroom was dirty, especially shower floor.
The room smelled of mold. The carpet was somewhat wet. The air conditioning didn’t keep the room cool and would shut off and on even if fan was set to on. The room was humid - even though we’re in florida there are ways to mitigate that. The bathroom was dirty and the shower floor was extremely dirty w black foot prints. Customer service was lacking - not inviting or welcoming.
