Would stay again
Staff was friendly, room was spacious and clean, with nice amenities of a keurig, refrigerator and soaps/shampoo etc. Pool looked inviting and had a happening tiki bar on premises. Only thing that would have made it better was if there was a continental breakfast offered.

Beneida, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice stay
Older hotel. Very clean and nicely redone room. We missed seeing the sign to the lobby so drove around but finally found it(by the bar and pool. Only negative(not hotel’s fault) is that location is directly in flight path for SRQ so noise level was raised off and on + $150 hold on credit card(thought was excessive for a 1 night prepaid stay).
