I’ve stayed at low cost and high cost places and never had the hotel personally reach out about my stay. I had a minor issue that was immediately taken care. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was super nice and helpful. The room was clean but the areas was abysmal. I didn’t feel safe for myself or my car. I tried contacting Expedia three times via chat and was told that I didn’t have a reservation. The hotel was willing to refund my money but because Expedia did not recognize that I had a reservation, I was unable to cancel through Expedia. Because expedia did not address my issue, the hotel was unable to refund my money.

I am Walking Across America for Mental Health Awareness & Recovery, over 9,100 miles! I have been in the Manatee County, Florida area for a little while, as I’ve been covered some extra distance and meeting people. This hotel has been freshly renovated, and they have amazing grades as they are trying to let people know where to go around here, especially if you want a really nice room and save a few bucks compared to everything else in the area! The people have been very friendly, And the rooms are definitely nice. Pretty good size TV as well. Definitely enjoyed it!
