Front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating! Loved that they don’t take an incidental fee as well! Only downside was that the room smelled like cigarette, the continental breakfast only consisted of Tampico oj, coffee, and waffles. Also, the pool looked like a clogged toilet. The pool water was brown and filthy! Most likely will not be returning again. 3/10
