The hotel appeared to be a mixed bag for me. On one hand, the rooms were amazing, clean, and cozy, but on the other, the musty/moldy smell made me feel ill. The service was friendly and accommodating, although finding the previous guest's underwear left a sour note. The location was very pleasant and convenient, but the presence of various garbage around didn't go unnoticed. The dining experience had a fabulous variety of options, but then Italian strata disappointed. In terms of facilities, there was nothing particularly outstanding.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The king suite room I had, 217, was clean and comfortable, making my experience truly enjoyable. The location is very convenient, especially being close to I75, making it easy to explore the area. The dining options were decent, although closing early might not suit everyone. Overall, a great place to stay near everything, even in uncertain times.
