Staff was nice and friendly, the place was clean, my only complaint but I don’t know if the hotel can help it, it’s the thin walls or very noisy guests

I am so appreciative of this hotel. I stayed here with my pets during Hurricane Milton. They waived the pet fee for the hurricane. Such a Godsend for me and my fur babies. The hotel was quiet, clean, and the staff was super friendly. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stay here!
