The room wasn't spotless but was still clean. The inside of draws could be vaccumed or wiped down more. Staff was courteous. Heated pool wasn't so heated as they said. For the Queen bedroom, the bathroom toiletries wasn't much as far as soap and shampoo.

We loved our stay here. The room was clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. We loved the bar out front and the live music. And the close proximity to the beach. The pool was nice. Great location to everything we walked alot and also took an uber. Would have liked another luggage stand or somewhere for our clothes but, we knew coming that the room didn't come with dressers or a closet. We will definitely come stay here again.

Tiny rooms. Tiny TV. The bathroom is so small you can’t even close the door while sitting on the toilet. The breakfast was just a counter with some packaged muffins, yogurt packs, packaged eggs.

Good location and comfortable enough for the price. We did not realize there is a $25 daily resort fee so be aware. Not sure what for as bike rentals are extra. Guess maybe just for use of the pools?

We loved the island vibe of this older establishment. Everyone on the staff was pleasant, helpful, and great! On the Duval bus loop, but the entire area is an easy walk away. We had the pool to ourselves over half the time. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights on the property. Room was large and clean. The bathroom was small but clean. Pool was great after walking around all day. Parking was a little tight but we were so close to Duval St., we never used our car while on the island. We did rent scooters for the day which I would highly recommend to explore more of the island. Hotel does rent bikes and scooters as well.
