This place was great, staff was amazing & very kind. I have no complaints, i would love to stay here again. I would recommend renting a car if staying from out of town just for the convenience aspect! Otherwise it was a beautiful very relaxing stay! I would recommend the drag bingo on Sunday’s at the Tiki bar next door.

For the younger set

Decent basic motel-clean with comfortable beds and pillows. Loud music Thurs. -Sun. coming from Tiki Hut until 11 PM was a detriment to those of us who aren't big partiers.

So, we booked this looking at the pictures and reading the reviews. When we checked in our room had broken air conditioning.... the place looked tired and two parties were taking place and it was loud... we asked for another room... there wasn't one... we asked for our money back and were told to call Expedia. Went to another hotel knowing they would sell the room again. Called Expedia and was told this property wanted a $350 fee to refund the $250 we paid for the room? Ridiculous. Expedia said it was beyond their control... lesson learned... no more Expedia... buyer beware!

Great location and price

The room was small but perfect for what we needed. The location is amazing especially if you want to see a lot of places. It was easy to get to Lido Beach, Siesta Keys and Tampa. Staff were willing to do anything we needed and the Tiki Hut bar and pool area are really nice. Very affordable and super easy to come in and out whenever we needed.

Didn't want to stay in the cookie cutter hotels so found this gem. Comfortable, clean, nice heated pool with lots of poolside seating. Very close to downtown and other attractions. Cute microwave and refrigerator with FREEZER! Quiet yet on a main road.

All the staff were very friendly and easy to approach with questions and concerns. The rooms were decent. The only complaints were a smell of mold when we first came into the room. But overall it was a nice stay just for one night.
