6/10 Okay

Was safe and quiet for a family 4-night stay, perfect location on ocean drive across beach.. but away from any noise, inside or out. Rooms was small and basic, lacklustre, but did the job, was really just looking for a place to sleep and a good location for affordable price.

Perfect location! Super close to the beach, near lots of restaurants, etc. Bed was super comfy and staff very friendly! We had issues with our flight being cancelled and we had to come later than planned, and they were very accommodating. The breakfast was also really good!! Was great for our vacation and would definitely stay here again!!

Staff was super accommodating & the hotel was very clean. However, the pool wasn’t open & there wasn’t much to make up for the inconvenience besides a free drink.
