Very comfortable stay. Everything clean and in order. Desk personel very pleasant and helpful. Just a little disappointed in no breakfast but plenty of places close by.

The customer service was exceptional. We stayed at this motel a few times after the hurricane to get away from the destruction. It didn't matter if it was 8:00 PM or 3:00 AM there was always someone at the desk ready to help with whatever we needed. One of the people at the front desk even left and went to the store to get some supplies we asked for that they happened to be out of. Very affordable and extremely friendly staff. We will definitely be visiting here again.

Never talk to little kids even if you're a good person. It was truly a good experience staying two nights in the peacefully restored smoking sections and that was good to have a choice, smoking or none smoking the rooms although could use some new mattress and pillows, sorry for the I convenience

Great prices and the manager here always has a pleasant demeanor and a smile on his face. The housekeepers Wanda and Yvette are always very nice and friendly. Everything is very clean. Walking distance to Walmart and many different restaurants.

Hotel was very comfortable and quiet. Absolutely no noise from neighbors, the room was clean and very cool when arriving. AC kept up. Only thing I’d say is the price is a little higher for what is offered, but otherwise it was a great hotel!

Rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were very comfortable. The handicapped room had a large bathroom and was equipped with grab bars. Palm trees in back were lovely. I just wish they had a pool and a free breakfast . They did have a laundry area for guests to do their laundry. Rooms are equipped with flat screen TVs, hair dryers, refrigerators .Shampoo and soap are provided

The room was super clean, the bed was so soft and comfortable, and the shower was perfect. The hardwood floor instead of carpet was also a nice touch. The location was between all the local beaches either direction without all the traffic but still had all the restaurants and stores within a mile from the room. We'll definitely be staying there again.

I got a room here for my 3 year old daughter and I to evacuate from Hurricane Milton. The staff has been so sweet and accommodating during this stressful time for me and my babygirl. The rooms are very clean, and it's safe. We left in the morning and came back to our room cleaned and they put all my babies blankets & pillows all cute on our bed, and organized a little even. Way more then expected for a stay over room. It was such a big help for me being a single mom during this and I appreciated it so much. I highly recommend this hotel! Edit: the housekeepers name is Wanda, shes so sweet!
