"Clean room friendly checking in nice rooms"

"Personally I did not like the fact that everything was open to see which made the room look cluttered. Did not like the bath and shower set up, when you took a shower and then moved the door over to the toilet side it dripped water from the shower on the floor. The refridgerator did not have a freezer section so we could not freeze the "cooler pouch" we had brought to carry with us during the day. The worst of all was the curtain which butted into the mirror, you could be in the room and see who was behind the curtain changing clothes, no privacy, terrible design. (The curtain also covered the outlet.) Mirror over sink did not furnish a good reflection for putting on makeup. Shower had no shelf, etc to put shampoo, condition or shower gel. The only place to work would be right at the TV with the narrow shelf. The lights over the bed are on one side and the switch to turn them off/on is on the other side of the bed. There is no clock in the room, never seen a room without a clock. We do perfer to start the morning with a cup of coffee in the room, not dressing and going down to get a cup but that is just a personal preference. The breakfast was really good and well tended by staff. "

"Staff great, pool and tiki bar nice and fun. Restaurant was very good. Only thing wrong was the beach access was not good due to beach project but not the hotel’s fault. "

"Even though the hotel states the rooms have been refurbished they were just lack luster. The shower had mildewed caulk. The pictures on the walls were of cats and birds and were hung crooked. I could not open the curtains all the way so it was a bit claustrophobic. The rooms only had espresso makers and if you wanted a just cup of coffee you had to buy it. The staff was very friendly. "

"Was disappointed in the conditions for the price. Place is showing its age. Dirty windows looking out your room doesn’t reflect well on the care of your customers…"

"Great stay. Friendly staff. Love the afternoon cookies!"

"Hotel was full, so I understand, but the toilet would not flush. Was not comped one day for the toilet, literally had the plunger in my bathroom, to no avail. would have been nice to be comped at least one day?"

" On the plus side: The hotel in centrally located. It is very close to downtown as well as many shops and restaurants. There is a free breakfast that was good. On the negative side: The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade. The rooms were clean . But the furniture is very dated. Also, there was a fishy sort of odor in the room. I went across to Publix and bought a room deodorizer to help offset the smell. It is fine for a short stay. But, it could be improved. "

"Very nice place. Not fancy but great location"
