The property pictures and reviews were all great. I was expecting for the price and rating to be a more upscale hotel. We arrived and it is next to the highway. Very old hotel. You can tell they have been trying to take care of it but it looks run down. We had a nice quite stay with a great room overlooking the pool. Several negatives: "game room" was like a closet with none of the games working. No restaurants open. The Pool was not heated. The rooms are dated.

Clean, comfy beds and pillows, lovely grounds, delicious restaurant, pool looks great, tiki bar overlooking beach and water. Refrigerator in room is a real plus and 3 chairs in the room is WONDERFUL, and a rarity in hotels. Close to Fort deSoto and Boyd Hill Nature Reserve.

Room had hair on the bed...didn’t look like they ever dusted! Ordered a bacon omelet for breakfast and they gave me a ham omelet. They did fix it after waiting a half hour. Rooms are seriously out dated.

This was an affordable and charming place to stay. It was exactly what it claimed to be - clean, bright, convenient. Playground for kids, pool for all and I even had a view of the water.
