Booked they hotels.com and hotel would not honor reservation. Took an hour between multiple staff and a manager and two hotels.com reps before they finally gave me the room I paid for back in August. Hotels.com and the hotel itself didn't offer an apology or any kind of credit for the hastle they put me through.

This hotel is very old and not well kept. Room smelled musty. Had no cable and no guide or anything so had to just pick a random channel and hope it had something good to watch. Teeny tiny shampoo and conditioner and 2 towels for 3 people. Coffee machine did not work and asked for a new one and was ignore.

We booked the hotel due to Hurricane Milton and it is no wonder it was the only one available. The place was so dirty that walking from the bathroom to the bed resulted in black feet. This was not due to the storm.

We stayed post Helene and the staff went out of their way to accommodate those with needs. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was a plus.

When we arrived we were assigned a room that had a very moldy smell. They swapped us to a room that had very loud guest. Note, All rooms had an adjoining room with a locked door between them. The neighbors were up and loud until 11 pm, then they awoke us at 6 am screaming at each other. And lastly gnats in the room, in the hallway and in the dining area.

Lobby doors open very slowly.
Had a good time & made some friendships that can weather the storm. Close parking to entrance doors!

stayed here many times while getting daughter into new college of Florida for four years of college.
the only reason i didn't give 5 stars this trip is a roof leak at the entrance this trip, but they were in the process of repair.

Room was a nice size, everything was clean and the breakfast was good! AC in the room was pretty loud, but kept the room cold. Front desk had another room ready for me if the unit was too loud for the night. Stayed here for two nights while family stayed on Anna Maria Island! Easy drive to the beach, will definitely stay again. Nothing negative about the hotel at all.
