The room was recently updated and clean. Bed was on the firmer side, which I like. The only thing to keep in mind is that they give you a pool towel card with your room keys, and the card says $20 fee if you dont return the card to the front desk before leaving. The front desk doesn't open until 8 a.m., however. Just something to keep in mind.

AVOID if sensitive to mold/mildew. The room is beautiful and generally very clean, but the mildew smell was overwhelming—even with windows open. I kept them open except at night, yet still woke up congested with a headache. Symptoms eased when I was out for the day but returned each time I came back. By the second night, my breathing worsened, and without my inhaler on hand, I had to cut my trip short. I mentioned the smell to management; they offered another room, but I needed to go home for my inhaler. I requested a refund for that night. The manager said they’d follow up, but after several days and a later email, I’ve heard nothing. I’ve stayed at this hotel annually for years and have always appreciated the location and value, which makes leaving this review difficult. However, Room 144 is not suitable for anyone sensitive to mold, and guests should be forewarned. I hope management addresses this promptly so loyal visitors can continue to enjoy their stays.
