The hotel is in a great location.
Free breakfast is fantastic.
My room was cleaned only one time for a weeks stay. That needs improvement.
Water pressure is low. Could be better.
Overall a nice hotel.

Hotel is very old and needs updating. The hotel was being used for people that lost their home due to the hurricane so was busy. Very quiet despite this. Friendly staff. Street parking available.
Not sure about the pool the weather was to cold.

Somewhat underwhelming compared to reviews
Was underwhelmed by the welcome i received as so many reviews had mentioned the friendliness of staff. I was kept waiting without apparent reason and not spoken to until i "interrupted" the paper shuffling. My room leaked and i received no follow-up when i reported this. So a bucket with a towel in it shared the room with me all week. House keeping clearly thought this meant i didnt need replacement towels for a few days. The carpet was not vaccumed while i was there. Breakfast was adequate but not in keeping with how much was being charged. The breakfast staff were helpful and nice. I got the impression the hotel was luving off past glories. But it was nice and quiet with good parking.
