I am Walking Across America for Mental Health Awareness & Recovery, over 9,100 miles! I have been in the Manatee County, Florida area for a little while, as I’ve been covered some extra distance and meeting people. This hotel has been freshly renovated, and they have amazing grades as they are trying to let people know where to go around here, especially if you want a really nice room and save a few bucks compared to everything else in the area! The people have been very friendly, And the rooms are definitely nice. Pretty good size TV as well. Definitely enjoyed it!

Rooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious, parking was easy, and the front desk staff was friendly. The pool was nice and clean and the bar was fun with plenty of options and a friendly bartender. With it being less than 20 minutes from the beach, it’s a great option. Will definitely come back.

The room was excellent, everything was new and clean. New furniture, bathroom fully modernized, new large TV, new tile flooring...everything was great! You're not getting things like bottled water in the room or breakfast, but for what you pay its an excellent value and the room is top notch and clean. Maid service daily too.
