When your 6-year old asks why the blankets and pillows are “wet” (aka damp and muggy)… that sums it up for an unpleasant stay.

We had a fantastic stay! The staff were incredibly polite and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The complimentary breakfast had a great variety of options, perfect for our family. The location is ideal — just a 3-minute walk to the park, 5 minutes to the Sandbox Museum, and 10 minutes to Coligny Beach, which has restrooms, changing rooms, and a great shopping plaza. We loved grabbing fresh, affordable seafood from Piggly Wiggly nearby. The room was clean and very comfortable, with amazing mattresses and pillows. The sofa was a big plus for our family of five — we were happy to all stay together in one space. Highly recommend this hotel for families looking for comfort, convenience, and friendly service!
