Room was dated. The service room did not clean the room how they supposed to do! We paid 250 per day! This place over charge they rooms in December specially the weekend of night of lights. The breakfast is nothing special in my opinion is Better get breakfast somewhere else. The only good is the location is 15 minutes walking to the historic center, and 5 minutes walking from fountain of Youth!

I was extremely disappointed with my recent stay at this hotel. The pictures shown online are very misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the property or the rooms. Upon arrival, there was a strong, unpleasant smell in the front office, which immediately raised concerns. Unfortunately, the same odor was also present in the room, making the stay uncomfortable from the start. The room itself was dirty, including the bathroom, and the towels provided were visibly unclean and appeared used. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and this hotel failed to meet even minimal standards. To make matters worse, the hotel is overpriced for what you actually receive. The quality, cleanliness, and overall condition do not justify the cost. I would not recommend this hotel and strongly advise future guests to be cautious and not rely solely on the online photos when booking.

Location was the best - 15 minute walk to the historic district for the Night of Lights. Staff at reception were friendly and professional. Room could have been cleaner. Condition of the furniture was such that the varnish made everything sticky. Bed was comfortable but the bedding was stained. Breakfast room was too small - not enough tables.

This stay was all about location, location, location. It’s between the fountain of youth and Ripley’s believe it or not. Plenty of food options and downtown is easily walking distance. It’s also a trolley stop, so easy to get to further places. Our room was run down. The bed wasn’t particularly comfortable, the pillows definitely aged and tiny (almost square-sized). The towels were tiny and nonabsorbent. Zero places to store anything. Not a single drawer or cabinet, so we just left our clothes in bags. There was a wardrobe for hanging dresses, dress shirts and jackets. Also, not a single hook to hang a towel or something wet from. Not in the bathroom, not in the bedroom. Anywhere. To be honest, that was the biggest inconvenience, as everything else could be worked around. We enjoyed our stay overall but really didn’t spend much time in the room. For what they charged (~320/night) I was expecting a lot better though.

My recent stay at this hotel was extremely disappointing. The room, hotel, and surrounding grounds are in clear need of maintenance and do not reflect the images shown on the website, which appear to be outdated. The quality of the food was also below expectations, and I was particularly concerned after observing staff bring out sausage patties in a plastic bin filled with brownish water. This raised serious questions about food handling and overall cleanliness. Given the condition of the property and the dining experience, I do not feel that the nearly $800 I paid for two nights was justified. Unfortunately, I left very dissatisfied and will not be returning to this hotel in the future.

Fridge had a weird brown smear in the back of it, room felt damp the entire time, the lights are cool white, not warm white making the room feel very sterile like an office. The room was old but upgraded, just not well. It felt a bit dirty but perhaps that was from the dampness. Front desk guy was pleasant- but a hair off from creepy. Women dont want to follow you to check out a room, especially when her partner is using the restroom. He upgraded our room to a "suite" at no extra charge. At this point hes either super nice or theres a camera hidden in there. Its walkable to downtown but not close. Elderly or families with children may want to stay a bit closer to all the action. The offer a breakfast buffet but we didnt go. We did go to Ayura right across the street and it was delicious. If youre on a budget and are a healthy Florida resident looking for a cheaper stay within walking distance of the historical district, this might be for you. No expectations needed. Adventures may await you.
