The location was perfect. Easy walk to the beach and Duval Street. The bar right beside the motel, the tipsy rooster, was great. The pool was very clean and nice size. They also will give you a voucher for free chairs and towels at the beach. The room and bathroom were small but clean and did the job! Would definitely stay here again!

It’s a place to sleep and shower. If that’s all you need, you can get it here. But keep in mind the place is noisy, old, small rooms. It’s a motel, and an old one at that The $45 “ resort fee” is the most innacurate term for an add on fee ever at this place. They charge you a resort fee, yet don’t have bottled water for you. Oh wait, they do!! They sell it to you out of a vending machine….. We would not stay here again.

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Did not get much sleep due college boys partying until 4:00AM most nights. They were extremely loud. Garbage truck arriving at 5AM all but 1 morning was very noisy. Once we addressed the partying with staff it resolved the issue for most part. Would ask to be in another area besides room 38/little pool area.

My wife and I liked the location of this property; very easy to get to Duval St from here. Everything within walking distance. There are two pools (one heated, one not). We spent a day by the unheated pool and enjoyed that. Pool was clean and plenty of chairs to use. There are only 2 umbrellas and we thought a couple more might be nice. We liked that the room had a mini fridge in it and the option of a microwave was also nice (we didn’t use it but nice to know we had the option). The staff was mostly friendly. A/C worked well and there was a ceiling fan as well. What we didn’t care for was the room itself. It’s very outdated and it almost feels like you’re sleeping in an attic. There were fruit flies in our bathroom. And while the staff would make the bed I don’t think they ever changed the bedding. For a 5 night stay I would think they’d change the sheets at least once. Bathroom was always stocked with fresh towels (even if you hung them up instead of leaving on the floor to replace). But bathroom was tiny. And shower tile wasn’t inviting at all. Our room faced a parking lot (who cares) but there was an external light right outside the window. As such it was never dark in our room at night. The bed itself wasn’t very comfortable. Next time I would spend a little more money to stay somewhere else.
