Would love to give this place five stars because the staff was stellar, the room was clean. However, the smell of mold/mildew was so strong in the room we had to ask to move (not our normal mode). The second room, though better, still had a strong odor to it. We dealt with it as we didn’t want to ask to move again. That being said, staff was courteous and gracious when the request was made and I appreciated their kind manner. On check in, same staff was excellent and quick. Morning checkout gentleman was also excellent. My suggestion is to ensure the carpets are cleaned with clean water and then a dehumidifier is run to remove moisture. They were quite humid, and that comes from a Floridian who knows humid. We have been through enough hurricanes to know mold and mildew issues and understand they can be difficult. The staff deserves better rooms to rent as they were stellar. Cleaning was also excellent! Facilities were good and breakfast was clean and organized.
