Very clean room, great a/c, hot shower with good pressure, microwave, fridge, and hair dryer in room, soap and shampoo dispensers were full, didn’t see a single bug which is rare in any FL hotel. Staff is very friendly and nice. Bed was comfortable. Close to PGD but schedule your Uber/Lyft ahead of time because I found them to be very scarce in the area. I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area. A great room if you don’t need anything fancy.

Expedia said it was pet friendly. I prepaid for it. It wasn't. Hotel wouldn't refund. Said to contact Expedia. Then the guy came out and wanted us to back a GMC pulling a 24 ft enclosed trailer out on a busy 4 lane road. He had no concern for us or the traffic on the road. Threatened to call the police on us. He didn't want us to safely turn around which meant use a very small section of the grass. So I did call the police then the guy decided to let us. 911 said if we needed anything to call them back. Funny I aksed the guy if he has ever back something like that up he said no. Told he acted like he knew exactly how to do it so I said get in and you do it.

The guy who checked my stepdaughter in was very friendly, he did check her and her boyfriends IDs to make sure they were both over 21 (they both are, so wasn't an issue, not sure what the outcome would have been if they weren't) which I thought was very strange and never had this happen at any other hotel. The room was a bit small, but clean and looked remodeled and had everything you'd need. I only needed one night but looked like an extended stay type hotel/motel. No pets and no smoking rooms. I would have family stay here again.

Clean and comfortable

I needed a cost-effective room for 1 night. I arrived 45 minutes before official check-in and the staff member behind the window checked me in anyway. She spoke very rapidly, so there was a sense that I was being rushed. The air conditioner worked very well and put out only moderate noise. The facility was old but they did a marvelous job modernizing it. And the bed... the mattress was the softest and the sheets and pillows were the most comfortable of my entire trip. Access to the property was on one side of the divided highway, so be prepared to make some u-turns when you're coming and going.

Overpriced and unsafe

This was probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I felt unsafe. When we checked in, the attendant lifted a board and set the key out. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. The sheets were nubby and cheap. I couldn't wait to get out of there. It was way overpriced for what we got.

As a travel agent I called the hotel a few weeks in advance to see if their hotel was damaged by the last hurricane. The front desk worker said it was fine. When my guest arrived there was construction and part of the roof was gone. My guests did not feel safe staying there. My guests then were sent to another hotel. At least the manager was willing to cancel the hotel without fees.
