This budget property was great! Easy check in and check out via website then text. Very clean rooms. Property was well maintained. Pool was awesome to play around with the kiddo in but bring towels from the room or your own. Vending machine for drinks is right with it. There is a Dennys and a gas station (convenience store) in front of the hotel. Office staff were always responsive and helpful via chat, making it extremely easy. Room has a shower/tub. Large closet and lots of drawer space. Microwave, mini fridge and mini freezer in room which is really helpful! Comfortable beds. Air and heat worked well. Just a short 7-10 minute drive to the aquarium. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!

We rented the suite with 3 beds for our family of 4 and it worked perfectly for the weekend. The room was clean and we had plenty of space. It was a little noisy at night with cars driving by and planes so bring earplugs if that bothers you. Everything is close by so you can get food quickly. Check in was really easy. I would stay here again.

The room was very clean. The office clerk was very friendly and informative about the surroundings. The only issue we had was the coffee maker had a hard time dispensing coffee.
