Staff was lacking professionalism,condescending and completely unfit for customer service. Very disappointing for a "hospitality environment". If you could even call it that. Hotel staff treated people like they're inanimate objects. Would never recommend and will definitely be reporting to EcoLab for unsanitary rooms with bugs.

★☆☆☆☆
Terrible experience. The first room smelled strongly of smoke and looked nothing like the photos. We were moved to a second room, but the AC didn’t work—in the middle of a hot Florida summer. On top of that, there was no running water in the room at all—no sink, shower, or toilet. Completely unacceptable conditions. I have video proof. Do NOT book here. This place is a scam and should be shut down.
