Every FL hotel has a kind of musty smell to me...maybe it's the ac? The room was immaculate, though. Beautiful.

Check-in was very last minute (on my part for the booking), but when I arrived the room was ready. There was a generic funky smell at the stairs, but that's pretty typical for Florida. Staff was very helpful with a broken dryer while they were walking by. Only thing I think would have been better would have been maybe a mosquito trap or repellent inside the rooms. I had 1 mosquito inside during my stay & he tore my ass up. Also a different soap/shampoo/conditioner would be kinda nice. Those ones inside the room for free are kinda ass Otherwise, very decent for the price. Would stay again if I was there.

The room was good for a night. No dining options. The disappointment was the receptionist at check out. They charge a $150 (!!!) deposit, which you (may) get back in a week if they don't find reasons to keep it. To avoid any potential issues about refunding my deposit, I asked that my room be checked in my presence at check out and provide written confirmation that everything was ok, therefore no reason to keep any of my deposit, potentially. They refused to provide confirmation in writing, only verbally. I told them it wasn't enough and that I had to have it on camera stating that. The lady became very rude, called security, and threatened to call the police. If they don't trust me, and ask for a deposit, why would I trust them with a verbal statement? Things must work both ways when you make an agreement! I've heard of plenty of deposits not returned in similar situations.
