Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room stunk of cigarettes or smoke. Other guests were obnoxious and loud. The pricing is so high it is basically gouging because they can get away with it due to being across the MIDFLORIDA Amphitheater venue - and people will pay it. La Quinta next door is worse (in terms of cleanliness) so there are not other options. And the elevator is painfully slow - it seems to need repair.

I want to recognize [Diane if you know it] for the outstanding service she provided during my stay. She was very professional, kind, and courteous, and truly went the extra mile to help me when the system went down. She stayed with me until the situation was fully resolved and made sure everything was handled the right way. I greatly appreciate her dedication and the way she represented the hotel—it really made a positive difference in my experience.”
