Great location and restaurant. Room was comfortable but we didn't have hot water for showers this morning which was rough after swimming with manatees at 32' outside! Otherwise comfortable and affordable.

The room was furnished with items that you would get from a garage sale. They were old and overused. The carpet should have been replaced 10 years ago. The bed linen was way past its use, stained and very old. This place has great potential, but apparently the management does not want to invest. My husband and I felt like we could get some kind of disease or bedbugs from how old and overused the furnishings were.

I have to approach this review cautiously because being real, this place is a total dump...but! The location is amazing, we actually didn't feel the need to swim with the manatees because our view right in front of our room (204) was manatee central! Between the view from our room and then going to Three Sisters Springs (well worth the entry fee, gorgeous and hundreds of manatees!) The 3 hr swim with them seemed like overkill. As for the hotel, the gal at the front desk was sweet as pie and the beds were more comfortable than we expected given the condition of the place. It's old, and falling apart and honestly pretty dirty but all of those things could be remedied if the owners chose to do it. It wouldn't take much to turn it from an old dump to a really charming spot despite the age. We enjoyed our stay because we knew what we were getting into. Would we normally book a room like this...NO, but again, the spot is pretty hard to beat and the sunsets were spectacular.

The property is clean and right on the water, which was the draw for us. It's a bit dated, but well maintained and clean. The staff was very helpful and attentive.
