I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's great location, just two blocks from Duval Street and the Marina, offering quick access to favorite spots without the disturbance of nearby businesses. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was always helpful and friendly. The dining experience was average with a typical continental breakfast. Overall, a good value for money with few minor cons.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with comfortable and clean rooms, although being on the first floor with a patio made it a bit noisy at times. The staff, especially Melissa and Jennifer, provided fantastic service, being friendly, courteous, and very helpful. The location was excellent, within walking distance to various attractions and restaurants. The dining experience was very good, slightly above the typical continental breakfast. The facilities were well-kept and convenient, offering a great value for the price paid.
