Room was a good size, clean, but had a real odd smell, damp and musty. Nice pool. Good having strip plaza next door. Dollar store, grocery store and a Wendy's. Not by the beach but a $15 Uber ride. Really suited our needs and breakfast was excellent! Now fellow checking people in was not a pleasant chap. Not understanding the "$15 fee waiting list" for an early check'in, he was not happy at all clarifying it. Customer after me (elderly lady) didn't know what a $25 incidental charge was. He really wasn't nice to her either, Zero patients. Airport shuttle driver was a really friendly guy.

Although there was a slight snafu, regarding the pick-up location of the hotel shuttle, all worked out well. Enjoyed a pleasant conversation with the driver. Upon my arrival, check-in was quick & easy.. A room wasn't available since I was quite early, so it was suggested I could sit out near the pool, which I did. The lobby's set up nicely, with chairs & tables, with a hot coffee or tea station in the corner (24 hours, self-serve). For a quick eat, there's a McDonald's a few feet away from the property. Upon entry into my room, there was a nice fragrance.. Wifi worked fine (no problems).. Being there for only one night, I was quite comfortable & relaxed. Vending machines (snacks & water/soda) on each floor. Reasonable price.. Have coins on hand just in case. The staff (front desk (day/night) and shuttle drivers) were friendly, helpful, and courteous! Check-out was a breeze! Definitely would stay again...

The place was convenient to the airport and it was a good price. The front desk help was not very friendly and kind of short with the guests. He had something in his mouth when he checked us in and forgot to put it into the computer so one of the housekeepers came walking into our room but my fault for not locking the deadbolt. We had some time to kill before our departure to the airport so they stored the bags but did not give us a ticket to claim them which made me wonder if anybody could have come and got them and taken them away.. it was quite clean in the public areas and the rooms. The mattresses were not very comfortable on one side of ours there was a big depression I guess where it had worn down.. Time to flip them or change to new mattresses. About what you get for the price I guess. The trip to the airport was quick and free.

I am not typically very picky but I would pick somewhere else. I picked this hotel because of the shuttle, but that was truly a joke and eventually, the front desk just stopped answering the phone when I was calling for a shuttle. I ended up getting an Uber because I had waited more than an hour and it had reached midnight. My room had an unpleasant odor but it was late, I was tired, and I was only going to be there less than 12 hours but I was a little worried my suitcase would absorb the smell, but it didn't, and I was on my way when my ride arrived at noon. The hotel did provide a late checkout and I appreciated it as I did not have vehicle (hence, the need for the shuttle from the airport).and I was at the mercy of others picking me up. I believe I would choose differently when traveling in the area again.
