10/10 Excellent
"In the defense of the hotel, considering they are still in the middle of rebuilding after a few hurricanes back to back, we stayed on the golf course side in a loft when I first got there I did have to do some cleaning because there were spots and a lot of dead bugs all around the walls along the baseboards, I think the worst thing was which is first world problems was the Wi-Fi not working correctly and our defense it was opening day of college football so it mattered a lot to have the TV working and not have to switch between phone, cast, and Wi-Fi TV , other than that our stay was above and beyond perfect it couldn’t have been any better. The staff was excellent."
