Clean and quiet hotel

The room was quiet and clean. I appriciated having a full size refrigerator with freezer for my blue ice I use in my travel cooler. There wasn't much of a breakfast but that isn't unusual these days. The location was excellent. I would stay here again if ever in Port St. Joe.

Mildew infested couches and mattresses

Our stay was ok but we have been hearing accounts of mold infested rooms from our friends. Our room was dated had a humidifier which was strange! Our friends were there w us and they had to go to five different rooms before they found one without mold in couches and mattresses!! This is so unacceptable and dangerous to health!! Horrid!

Great place to stay!

Decided to take a random trip and this place was almost perfect. Great price for a 2 night stay. Very quiet, low key family atmosphere. Nice size room with a small kitchen. Nice friendly staff. Just a short trip back to port st Joe and Mexico beach. I would recommend and I would definitely stay again!

The staff made this the best getaway ever! They were so friendly and even let me make waffles for my sons after I didn't realize the weekday breakfast hours were different than weekends and showed up late! They have warm cookies, juice and coffee in the lobby 24-7, computers readily on and available, and they were constantly cleaning the lobby area! The rooms were nice and clean, although big water spots on the ceiling showed the age of the property and tons of dead bugs on the little balcony were not my favorite. The hotel was experiencing elevator and water issues, but they left notes under our doors to inform us of the times of the inconveniences, and it was not a problem. The little kitchen was fully stocked with silverware, dishes, pots and pans so we were able to cook/eat food that we brought in our room. The ice makers worked on every floor and they even had recycling bins in with them! The pool is small, but refreshing and they have clean towels outside for your use. I would definitely stay again. :-)
