The best thing about this property is the location and the pool.Room was not clean on check- in. Toilet paper woefully inadequate. Ran out of paper twice overnight. On the whole not a good stay at all!

Ac was frigid was like trying to sleep in a freezer! Ice machine outside of room , sounded like people were in my room when using it , Everyone else that checked in received 2 complimentary drinks at the bar we did not , when I questioned it they said we did and used them we clearly didn’t . The bed was like sleeping on a soft pillow it swallowed you ! Awful attempt at a remodel

Cozy little cute hotel. Great customer service 😊

Cute rooms.

Great little hotel

Reasonable price, great location for what I need to do in Florida

Clean, stylish old-school motel vibe. Nice large landscaped courtyard around the pool area. Very close to the airport, with grocery and restaurant choices with short driving distance.

The staff was great, we loved the pool and the tiki bar. Next time we come I would ask for a room around the pool area.

No shelves to put personal hygiene items on in shower. No suitcase stands .

It is a good place overall, worth for the money spent

This hotel is very unique. The old school tiki style is a lot of fun. Staff is super kind and helpful. Theres a mini fridge/freezer and microwave in each room which is helpful. The bathroom was probably the only downside to the stay. It was small, and while you can tell theyre working on upgrades, its still lackluster and the shower doesnt get very hot.

The restoration of this hotel is progressing nicely with a few minor improvements left to do. Great location, very friendly staff, cute Tiki Bar.

Just shouldn’t recommend

Being refurbashed.

There was a sign on the office door saying "Call this number for help", not good, although there was someone at the desk. I wouldn't call it a resort, it's a motel. The rooms were small but clean. It's located in kind of a run down area. The Tiki bar was small and nothing special, plus it was full of obnoxiously loud drunks screaming at each other across the bar.

Aloha Gregg! We're sorry to hear about your recent experience and I apologize for any confusion with the complimentary drinks. The drinks that you may have seen are related to the perks of online travel agencies and their promotions with their members. The temperature setting from our AC are usually adjustable to guests' preferences; however, should you experience any issues, our front desks are always willing to help. I hope you'd understand as we aim to provide an excellent experience to all of our guests and we recently remodeled to match our Bahi Hut - Florida's oldest Tiki bar. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide a much better experience for your next stay. Mahalo
