Vero Beach Inn & Suites I-95
Room was clean although very worn. Bathroom had lots of water damage and the door didn't close properly. Outside door to room didn't close well either. Otherwise stay was nice. A heated pool would have been preferable. Breakfast was really good and the serving staff was lovely and very helpful.
