The room was clean and l love how they set up the toiltries and the toilet tissues was nicely designed prior to me using it. The staff were very courteous. I saw that the place appears more upgraded in comparison to my previous stay. My only desire is for them to have room aroma upgraded. Case in point my clothes had an old scent. When l got my home, l had to wash the clothes that l did not wear because they had an old musty smell. I am now thinking that the people on the plane probaby find my clothes to be smelling musty as well. The price for my stay was vost effective. The elevator and the lobby was clean. It is easy access to uber or lyft and not far from Wal-Mart etc

Had to call twice to get a shuttle from the airport after the driver left us. Gave us the wrong room and had to get that changed. Smell was not inviting in the lobby or the room. Pool was cold and no lighting or safety measures in the area. And to top it off the front desk called me at 1:45 in the morning just to hang up. Room was not terrible if you can get past the yellow stained need sheets and hair all over the floor.
