Great place to stay!
This was a delight of a stay, it had every little amenity I was looking for, and then some! It was an even better place to stay than I had imagined, especially because of the mixed reviews in the past. I understand the place was renovated over the last few months, which makes sense - the room feels new and shiny!

Clean and comfortable
Nice clean room, maids didn’t speak English but I didn’t mind. Parking lot was full of boats I’m assuming it’s because it was Memorial Day weekend.

Great spot for our Spring Training Trip
This is a well-maintained property with a lovely Tiki Bar and pool. We were there to see Spring Training Baseball at the Pirates site a few miles away. It was a great location for that.

Loud because it’s near airport, fire alarms went off while we were there for no reason. Power outage, no elevator. It was an ok stay.
