Looks like a 50's motel on the outside, but the rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and very comfortable. They've gone a long way to keep the motel charm while having great rooms.

It is a beautiful place. The room was spotless and extremely comfortable. It came with everything we needed like kitchen essentials and shampoo and stuff. The decoration was nice too. Location was incredible, close to a shopping area and super close to the lake and nature preserves for manatees. Manager was super kind and helpful. 100/10 would come here again
