The room was nice and big. There were a living room and kitchen. It was very nice and clean. The staff is also great. I accidently forgot my earnings, they called and inform me and had it at the front desk for me when I went to pick it up. Would definitely recommend.

The pics for the hotel definitely didn't reflect it truly. My room was lovely, large, lots of storage etc, but zero soundproofing, so when people were talking outside, it sounded like they were in the room. But the cleanliness was brilliant Sadly, my friends were in a different room, which we had requested near the car park for mobility reasons. Initially it looked lovely, but the fold down seat in the shower for a mobility aid was loose, causing my friend to slip off it, onto the shower floor. They also had problems with the noise levels, not entirely the hotels fault, but again, lack of soundproofing meant a sleepless night, as some other people, presumably guests, were outside at 4am having a big argument, they were asked to please be quiet, but just ignored my friend and carried on arguing, finally they went inside at 5am, promptly to turn the TV on full volume, which was so loud my friends may as well have been sharing that room with their neighbours. They are clearly in the process of renovating, with a half built poor and heaps of rubble on one side of the hotel. Overall, not the best experience, cleanliness great, rooms size wise not bad, but the damaged disability seat in the shower and the lack of any form of soundproofing ruined it. The reception guy who was on duty when we arrived was very helpful though, just a shame about the other stuff.

The room was clean and appeared to have been recently updated. Very nice. There was construction in the pool area, which would have neen nice to know prior to booking. They were renovating other rooms as early as 7am and worked on them as late as 10pm. A little annoying. Overall is was still a good deal.

The property is under construction and had some issues related to that. Rooms were recently remodeled but the windows were not and they leak air and allowed a lot of noise and light to enter the room. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Shower took a while to heat up and it was difficult to adjust.

MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS

The room was clean and the location was great. But no where where we informed it wa major construction and we wouldn’t be able to talk to each other or on the phone at all. Woken up by men right outside my door. I asked that 1 of my 2 night be comped considering we had to move rooms and was told to park in the company space( then had to move ) .it was o inconvenient moving everything. They didn’t care; offered no discount or anything.

The room was recently redone and they are in the process of renovating the courtyard, but will likely be very nice when completed. Good value, about 2 blocks from the southern most point. The staff did come clean and replace towels on the second day, which was a pleasant surprise.

Not a bad choice

Reasonably priced for someplace to just crash for the night, beds were a luttle hard, no bfast, no pool, so just a place to crash and shower. AC kept room cold, did have a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Close walk to Duval, I would go back.
