Parking was well lit, nice area of town, pool is a salt water pool with ample towels and temperature was nice.
The AC doesnt go below 68 and was warm for us, overnight, but we undersrand the hotel's need to control access.
The room was laid out well, lots of lighting options, beds were comfortable with plebty of pillows.

Room could’ve been more clean. My first assigned room was locked from the inside and the staff weren’t at the desk when I checked in. I didn’t stay long enough to use the amenities but the property looks clean and like it has a lot to offer.
