This place is ridiculous. I've been stranded here since Tuesday because flight cancelled because of hurricane Melissa nd it gets progressively worse. Tonight they are painting outside the room ...we are still here apparently I must step over drop cloth etc

I had to consistently ask for amenities, at one point it seems we were alone on the floor so room wasn't cleaned and spring cleaning happened
Over all not too bad. Small hotel with small room.The WiFi in the room was very unstable and the shower drain horrible as it did not drain properly. My advice cut the water on to get wet, turn off water and scrub body and then turn back on to rinse.we found it helpful so the drain does not overflow fast
The internet was slow, but everything else was really good.

The one issue i have with the property is that the lobby almost always has the stench of cigar smoke during the day. when I mention it to the front desk they say customers smoke outside then come in and blow smoke...(the ones blowing smoke are the ones covering for the person smoking in the back haha). i was out side at least 20 times during my stay and did not see any smokers or smell smoke outside. It is my belief some person in the back office by the lobby goes back there and smokes cigars... the stench is gross and at times is overwhelming and very uncomfortable. This only happens during the day shift. If you dont like to second hand smoke you should go to another hotel. I have been at many locations where people smoke outside and then come in. this is nothing like that. you are in a room with a smoker who doesnt care. If that is ok overall the property is a good choice it is very busy and the lobby always very active.
The thermostat in my room was not working,I was not notified about this,instead the offered us blankets and then a room move after 4 days of our stay which could have been avoided by not placing us in the room to begin with
