The entire staff from beginning to end were amazing. Kristen was very attentive via text. Loved Lisa the bartender. Andrew was awesome at check out. The hotel is very close to the beach and many restaurants. Breakfast was decent. The only thing that hotel needs to spruce it up is get rid of the carpet inside and outside of the rooms. We enjoyed our stay either way and will definitely be back.

Main problem was that the water temperature in the shower is extremely inconsistent and constantly drastically changes. It will go from a comfortable temperature for a minute then it will gain the ability to evaporate tungsten, wait 30 seconds and it'll be absolute zero.

Room was clean and adequate. Reading lights on both sides of bed were convenient as well as plug ins for chargers on each night stand. No frills but met our needs for a reasonable price. Renovating first floor so assuming that will bring upgrades to the facility in general. Landscaping and foliage very well maintained and attractive. Staff very friendly.

O loved the easy check in process. Amdrew was amazing and always responsive to questions. I didnt like rhe options for breakfast. It is a very basic continental. I think it would be good to have some bacon or fruits. The hotel was clean, beds were confortable and most important the sheets and pillows didn't smell like dry sweat. Rooms were clean. I recommend this hotel if you are passing by and it's really closed to siesta beach. Very convinient.

First stay and will stay again

Great overnight stay! From the person on the phone when I called to confirm some information. His name is Andrew! He was professional and Kind! Very kind-hearted person! He made me feel safe and secure, even before checking in! My bed was very comfortable! And, I slept well! Enjoyed the pool and hot - tub! When I checked-in, the front desk and evening desk attendant, both were pleasant and friendly, provided great information and answered, no matter how many questions I had...LOL The breakfast was good, next time hopefully, they'll add some Hot breakfast meats to their menu!!
