The property was great. No real concerns. The staff was terrible and should be replaced. They smile and still manage to have an attitude. Another MAJOR concern for guests is the PET Policy. I used this hotel to evacuate during Hurricane Milton so they waved the Pet Fee this time but Be Aware they charge a $170. Per night pet fee on a $138 a night room.

The staff was very friendly. The room was clean. There was a dirty wash cloth left on the rod in the bathroom. However, I can see how it got left. I actually had went in the bathroom twice before I seen it. I called down stairs the guy quickly came and got it. People are human we all mistakes, I wasn’t mad. One of their amenities was bicycles….. oh I loved that! I’d stay again.

A clean place. Friendly staff. The parking fee for paying guests is pathetic. If I was not a guest, I would have no problem with a parking fee, but being a paying guests, any parking fee is just an easy money grab, that also WAS NOT DISCLOSED IN THE BOOKING.

Fishing trip
The hotel was fine. I would stay there again. The breakfast was not good at all. Bacon half done. Eggs 4 out of 10. Second morning the sausage tasted like paper and just as dry. Eggs the same as previous day.

Never again!
We arrived around 7pm and waited a half hour to get checked in because the only staff member was on the phone with someone. The lobby had a very overpowering perfume smell. We got to our room and it was dirty. The luster has worn off the renovation. We were not told when making the reservations that there was a parking fee. We had two vehicles so it cost us nearly fifty dollars to park for two days. When we left we were not able to drive our cars out of the back entrance to the parking lot because the manager had blocked the exit with her car then left the site for hours. We had to exit through the front entrance way which was very steep and we were concerned it might damage one of our vehicles. They basically forced us to leave that way and said they were not liable for any damage to our vehicle. The weekend was enjoyable but the service was terrible. I would not recommend staying there.
