"The rooms can use new AC units as the rooms smelled due to water leaking I’m from the unties onto the floor. One of our rooms smelled bad. The showers have been updated but do not keep the water in the shower and leak onto the bathroom flooding which can cause a slip and fall."

It is older but nice. The bed was comfortable. The area still has a lot of hurricane damage. They are getting it cleaned up, it just takes time. "
