There was no space in Room 224 to conduct business. I didn't see an indoor lobby. The patio smelled of stale cigarette smoke as did the parking lot. There were a few outdoor tables with chairs but it was humid out, and didnt want to conduct business there.

Beautifully property. Staff was friendly and accommodating, they upgraded our room for free once they realize I wouldn't be comfortable in the one I selected due to my height (double bed to a king).
