Pretty basic.

Stay was fine. We used it as a launching pad for other activities. Pool is small and clean. It was nice to be close to music at the Tiki Hut although sometimes the “live” is just a singer with a karaoke-style back up. Fun polka band on Tuesdays. Staff is friendly. Furnishings did not look like the photos. The nightstands and headboard were 80s pickled wood and the chairs were IKEA. There was a larger mini fridge. Ice machine was out of order. Bed was not new and a bit squeaky.

Had a great stay here

Hotel staff here is fantastic. Tiki Bar on the property was super convenient for dinner on arrival and great breakfast the next morning. They do have live music so just be aware- I think they wrapped up around 9:30 or 10:00 so it didn’t affect sleeping for us. Pool was really nice too. Everything clean and friendly here.

Cape Coral Stay

Nice place, great location. I can’t speak to the inside, courtyard rooms, but the outside rooms are very noisy. Street noise, guest leaving at 6:30 am on Harleys noisy. A microwave in the rooms would be great for reheating leftovers. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
