Carlisle Inn
Room was large and spotless. Bonus walk in closet which also had a sink and counter. Could be used for a portable crib, as it had a pocket door. Hallways are wider than any other hotel that I have been in.

Lido Beach Resort
Room was clean and tidy. However, a ceiling fan ran constantly and there was no way/switch to turn it off. Management said they would call engineering, but nobody showed. Room was too cold and uncomfortable.!
