The hotel was nice, but my room had a moldy smell to it. Other than that, it’s clean and has a nice pool.

I was really disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The building is very old and it clearly hasn’t been updated in a long time. There are no amenities at all, which makes it feel even more uncomfortable. The room smelled musty and damp as soon as I walked in, and it never went away. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless they do some serious renovations and improve their services.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

There were ants in the bathroom and the vanity area. The floor was wet from the humidity. The room had a musty smell. Bed sheets had someone’s hair on them when I went to go to bed. The hotel itself is run down looking. Definitely not like the pictures. Not the best crowd of people either. There was a young couple arguing in front of my room and the girl had track marks up and down her arms and legs and scabs on her face. I have no idea how this place has gotten the reviews it has, because this is not it.

Parking Space Issues

The room was clean and comfortable for our two-night stay. However, one concern was the parking situation. The lot is very limited, especially since many guests bring boats and water equipment, which take up multiple spaces. If you arrive late at night, you’ll likely have a hard time finding parking.

We had booked this hotel for a wedding nearby and it surpassed our expectations. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable to stay in. The beds were neatly organized and cozy to sleep in. There was a lot of space to get ready for our nights out and perfect for the size of our group. The AC worked phenomenally well and was very convenient for a summer in Florida. The air purifier was a nice touch as well. The tiki bar was a cute outdoor experience worth a visit. Parking was free and plenty of space. The staff were super nice and helpful. Overall a great experience and we would definitely consider another stay in the area!
