Once on the property, it felt like a remote location. The pool area was very good and distance to beaches was perfect, if driving. Staff was wonderful. Property was clean and the room had good amenities. Breakfast did not suit me. No variety of yogurts or fresh fruits, other than apples and bananas, which they ran out of often.

We had an issue with the shower control valve that would not allow us to shut off the shower water. After notifying the front desk of the issue, we headed out to be with family. When we returned, the shower control valve issue had been resolved. Appreciated the quick response by the staff!!!

Okay stay but won’t return

Well I wouldn’t stay here again. Looked like Hilton had bought an old motel and remodeled it. Doors faced the outside (not sure if that was said in the description). We had a room with 2 queen beds. Room was on the small side which was fine for 2 people but 4 would have been uncomfortable. We didn’t bring our kids. Our first room had damp floors. Sink and bathtub did not drain well. Handle on toilet was very hard to press down. I could handle all that until the flying ants started popping up that night. Then we asked to change rooms. The second room was still damp. Due to Florida humidity is what they told us. Bathtub still clogged up but no bugs so we were good. “Pool” towels were the size of hand towels. Not useful. Breakfast was okay. No hot foods. Just bagels, cereals etc. Positives: staff was very friendly and accommodating. Beds were comfortable. Bartender was nice. Plenty of parking spaces. Very close to Siesta Key. Right near the bridge. Shops and restaurants near by.
