Older hotel, floors need to be cleaned more but laminate flooring better than carpets. Many of the guests appear to be residents. Front desk guy very accommodating, offered me choice of 2 rooms. Limited breakfast. Good location. It is what you would expect for the price.

We were in Merritt Island for a wedding and wanted a room near the venue. The price was good so we took a chance even after reading a couple unfavorable reviews. The staff was very accommodating and nice! The breakfast was basic but free. The room was ok for the price; no frills, very basic. The beds were clean, which is all we really cared about. The floor was dirty; I cleaned it with a washcloth and hand towels. Pretty much it's a get what you pay for place. Probably would stay there again.
