Loved the liquor store/bar on property that had live music during our stay. Across the street from a small market and walking distance to beach with chairs and umbrellas. The room was incredibly small but in fairness it worked for us. We showered and slept in the room so didn’t need much. The air conditioner had a hard time keeping the room cool but we found it acceptable. The pool was nice and the staff very friendly.

The staff was great, very courteous and helpful. The room needs some attention. Bathroom sink too low and small and faucet needs replaced. Both faucets in shower need replaced. It was very hard to maintain constant water temperature while showering. It would have been helpful to have had more storage for clothes rather than "living out of the suitcase."

Room very tired, initially the shower wasn’t hot, maintenance called, temperature sorted but no water pressure. The room was next to a bar so very loud music until around midnight. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel, the only good thing was the location, walking distance to Duval Street

Not sure why this place charges a “resort fee” upon check in (I was charged $156 for three nights). This is an old motel with many upgrades and improvements needed. My positive is that everyone at the front desk was helpful and friendly
