Room was clean, staff was very nice. Breakfast offered was basic but fine. Location was perfect with Tipsy Rooster Liquor Store and bar next door. The store across the street was an extra bonus.

We were jolted awake by a faulty fire alarm at 1am in the morning. The breakfast was presented in the small lobby and nowhere to sit except outside but all seats were wet due to rain. Our hotel room was very small and the bathroom had bugs which got into my shaving kit. Although I liked the old style cottages, for the price this place was not worth it.

Ok spot to stay. Tiny room. Weak water pressure in shower but I expected that. Staff wanted to charge me 20$ to park my rental car which I thought was outrageous. Put a 150$ hold on cc as soon as you check in. I’ve not seen the credit applied back as quickly. Tippys rooster was nice being part of motel. As the kids say. This place was mid.

Really sweet little place with fantastic beach access. The beach is a block away but the hotel provides free towels and long chairs with umbrellas. Nice cuban deli across the street. Close to Duval but without its busy-ness.

Staff was great. Room was clean. Location was pretty good too. Breakfast was pretty much all “grab and go” but had a decent selection. Overall it was a very good stay and hard to beat for the price.

We had to ask to get our room cleaned and to get clean towels. We were also told at check in there was a $20 a day parking fee, in which was waved when I said to cancel my reservation. The bathroom plumbing was a less than adequate with no hot water on the last two days. No quiet time at night with younger guests being loud and obnoxious at 1/2AM in the morning. I could go on, but just to say our stay was very nupleasant is an understatement and I'm very unhappy that we spent that much money for that kind of service. I will not be booking that property again. I'm more than dissatisfied and I truly this reaches someone that cares. Thankyou.

Location was perfect. However when we arrived in the room there were no towels and no soap to take a shower. In addition, breakfast selection wasn’t good at all. We were put in a room behind a bar and it was extremely loud until 2am in the morning.
