Subpar at Best
Great location. Room smelled like mold. Told the staff and they did nothing and offered nothing since they were sold out. Took a bath and the water had a slight brown color to it… You can hear people walking around above and around you. You can hear dogs wining and barking since they are allowed onsite. I would never stay here again.

Always
Stayed here last year also and both times we had such a good time. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Had an issue with our code to get in and they were there to handle it within 5 min, had a clogged toilet and it was fixed quickly. Were we’re also there for the tropical storm that hit really bad and the crew was there cleaning up afterwards.

Shabby and not accessible, but gorgeous view
I did not appreciate having to walk up so many flights of stairs to reach our room, however the view was excellent. There was a slight musty odor to the room, but other than that everything was fine.

Mold
The room we stayed in (114) smelled like mold as soon as we opened the door. The carpet was damp from the moisture. It was a very unpleasant place to sleep because of the mold and we cut our trip short because we couldn't stand being inside the room. Check-in was all virtual, super easy.

6/10 Good

I would stay here again but things are used and starting to get old. The thing that needs to be upgraded immediately are the beds. Both beds were very old. No cushion on top. Springs feel like they are coming through the top and both mattresses sink down in the middle. You could not lay on the bed without rolling to the middle. Uncomfortable to sleep on.

The serve and staff were excellent, very friendly, and clean. But the beds were discomfortable, and very old. That is one thing we can’t be satisfied, Another thing is you can hear what next door people say.
