Big Cypress Lodge
Clean rooms but the pillows were TERRIBLE. Almost went down to buy a pillow they were beyond dead and made the mistake of looking inside the pillow case 😵.

Memphis Vitality Hotel
The hot tub was hot, the pool was nice and cool but not chilly. Sometimes heated pools feel like swimming in urine, and this one isn't like that!
