Overall we enjoyed our stay. The property is off of a busy street so there is noise throughout the night. The theming of the property is very fun. We will be staying here again when in the area.

What we mainly loved was the smell of a clean room. Also, they left a couple of cans of local sodas and local cake in the room for us. And the staff was very very friendly. We loved the place.

Within walking distance to lots including River Walk. Loved the retro decor/feel. Casting TV was a new experience, but we weren’t in the room a lot so we didn’t watch much tv. Would definitely stay again!

The room was clean and smelled clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. I just loved the nostalgic vibe. They have RC cola and Moon Pies in the room for you. Popcorn and lemonade in the lobby. The breakfast they had went above my expectations. They were fresh and gourmet style. Apple fritters too We brought our dog and even she got a special wrapped big biscuit. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely would recommend staying here.

Really committed to the Retro theme which was very fun! Cute details and the breakfast donuts, coffee and free fresh popcorn a hit! Really enjoyed the music playing all day around the lobby too. Easy to walk around the area for meals & shopping, great value for money! Lovely friendly staff too!
