2/5 no war water

Clean to the standard of a 3 star hotel I guess. Did not have warm water, even when instructed to leave it running for 1-2 minutes to heat up - warm water never came...Incredibly loud at night, neighbor across the hall must have woken up the entire floor banging around from 1-4 am - think they ended up getting kicked out but tool WAY too long for this to happen. Also my deposit was fraudulently taken and not returned - had to go through AMEX to get it back

Great hotel at affordable price! 1922 old Florida hotel with original hardwood floors. Not fancy but clean and in a great location. I would certainly stay there again!

I would not recommend staying at this hotel. The cleanliness was very poor. The towels clearly had not been washed from the previous guest, as there were multiple hairs stuck between the folds of several towels. On top of that, the noise level is unbearable. The floor literally vibrates from the music in the bar below, so don’t plan on sleeping until all the bars in the area finally close. To make things worse, the Wi-Fi is practically unusable. Short videos won’t even load on YouTube. Overall, not worth the stay.

Stay somewhere else

When I arrived to check in, there was not an employee to be found anywhere, and no-one answered the phone when i stood there calling. Apparently the front desk clerk left before their replacement showed up. Then the replacement Showed up extremely late for his shift. From entering the hotel to finally getting into my room took well over an hour. The one elevator they have was out of service. The wood floor in our room was a very unsettling combination of simultaneously feeling both slightly and sticky and slimy. The beds were cheap and uncomfortable. When we left in the morning, Mr late to work was behind the front desk with his bare discusting feet propped up on the counter giving us a farewell view of the dirty soles of his feet. Bottom line is this hotel brings further shame to the reputation of 14th century Spanish conquistadors I would not go back there even if the room was free. For perspective...This is first time I have ever been compelled to leave an online review of this nature.
