Its clean but its also an old Motel. The door in our bathroom would not stay closed due to shifted frame, old school/noisy air-conditioning, etc. However the location is awesome, the staff is fabulous and the manatees are pleantiful.

The location is very good. Close to restaurants, shopping and manatee activities. Room was clean. Breakfast was the same thing every morning, which wasn't ideal. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice place. My only complaint was breakfast was underwhelming, but still 5 stars as breakfast isn't the main reason we chose accommodations.
