The location is good, the beds are comfortable… finding hospitable, competent staff may be the challenge here.
Having stayed here previously, our expectations were set and upon arrival we were informed the elevator was out of service and we’d have a room on the third floor. That was only the beginning of the series of unfortunate events…

Julie at the front desk gets an excellent review from us for going above and beyond to make sure any issues were handled expeditiously and professionally. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the check-in and check-out processes were easy.

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.

Comfortable hotel in a central location.
Glad to find a decent, value hotel in this location.
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.
