Decent room, like a cheap motel. There's no sign out front so i drive by it the first time. Best thing about it was the location. I only stayed one night but it was walking distance (10min) to St Armands circle for shops and eateries. I drove to my kayak tour launch but you could walk there too.

The owner not only provided me with a reservation within an hour but is the nicest person I’ve met in Florida. This is such a great place to stay when you just need a little quiet space to be. I can’t thank you enough.

Everything was good. Facilities were clean. Wouldn't call it impeccable. But it was a good value and the location is great as it's 1 block to the beach. That's what we came for, so it served us well.
