I wouldn't know since the check in stay location was not the location stay that I confirmed. They had it in another town then insisted it was my fault.

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Cocoa Beach-Port Canaveral
Unfortunately our room was very dirty. There were hairs on our beds and we could not walk on the bed floor without shoes because our feet literally turned black from the dirt on the floors. Additionally there were no deadbolt locks on the door which did not make the room feel safe.
