The room had a mildew smell when I walked in and it lingered. I do understand it is Florida and sometimes hard to get the humidity out but it was strong. The guy at the front desk was great and super friendly. The hotel was quiet and is very cozy.

The first room had a strong mildew smell with a large mildew growth on the arm of the chair and sofa. The front desk gave me keys to two other room. Both were in much better condition, but one still had a slight smell. We ended up staying in the room that smelled the least, but my daughter did comment about the air conditioner still smells a little little moldy. The facility is getting at the end of life.
