Great for a night or 2

Check in was excellent and fast. The staff was kind and helpful during the limited interactions we had. The whole property was very clean, organized and inviting. The only issue we had was the walls being thin. The usual hallway noise and stuff was t there, but you sure could hear your neighbors. Probably worse when they was handling business in the restroom. Other than that, a great stay.

We stopped traveling down to Florida, checked in at midnight. Everything went fast and smoothly. The room was clean and quiet. Only complaint was the bed was alittle too hard for me. But that is just my preference.
