z\fair pricing- NICE PEOPLE- CLEAN SERVICE- GREAT POOL
The people at reception were very nice, and the pool looked lovely. The decor was nice, but the bathroom smelled like a sewer, there was a considerable amount of mold, and the outside door looked like it had been poorly fixed after having been kicked in.
I visit this hotel yearly and have enjoyed the recent upgrades. This hotel is not as fancy as some of the chain hotels but this hotel is clean, family owned and I love its character. It is also in a great location (walking distance to downtown and beaches)
Rooms are large, recently remodeled and clean. They open onto a central courtyard with a swimming pool. They have fridges with a decent sized freezer and microwaves. Location is just South of downtown and just 2 miles from the public beach park and fishing pier. The hotel does not include breakfast but there is a very good cafe adjacent to the office, Blu' Island Bistro. They serve breakfast and lunch.
This property is an old motel that has been and is still undergoing renovation on the cheap. The room was nicely decorated and the bed was super comfy. The bathroom was bright and spotlessly clean. The shower head is one of the super water savers. The water flow is way to low. It makes rinsing long hair extremely difficult. On another note, the pool is great. There are BBQ grills and picnic tables available in the nicely landscaped courtyard. The hotel staff was friendly for check in. Check out is just drop the key in a basket. This property has a lot of potential repeat customers if it is renovated well. On a side note, the exterior of the property is in need of painting. Please don't let that deter you from staying here. The rooms are well painted and the pool and courtyard are beautiful.
Close to local shopping and dining. Very quiet and a great courtyard.
I have stayed at many hotels over my career. So i have seen a lot from large chains. The Inn is reasonably priced, very comfortable beds and bathroom is very clean. Nothing fancy but serves the purpose of an overnight. The pool and pool chairs were pristine. Great restaurant attached for breakfast/ lunch. We booked again in November.
I feel the reviews, pictures, & description of this place oversold it and had I known better where it was located and what it looked like from the outside, I would NOT have booked this place for 2 nights. When we pulled up we were immediately disappointed. While our check-in was quick, the girl working the counter didn't have much personality & the lobby seemed dated, as did the outside. As we drove around to our room, the neighborhood it is located in isn't very welcoming & seems like a cheap part of town. While the room was very clean, the furnishings are extremely cheap & not taken care of (wood chipped, bubbled furniture & very dated window drapings). While the room was clearly updated recently (new shower/tub, flooring & paint), there were small things overlooked such as severely chipped door frames, counters, etc. They also settled for the cheapest TV possible that is too small for the room. The pool looked decent enough but didn't use it. Finally, the doors and walls are SUPER thin. We could hear our neighbors on both sides & people were in the courtyard coming back to their rooms around 2am & you could hear their entire conversation...not enjoyable when you have to be up at 3:30am to catch a flight. This king room was NOT worth $200 a night!! (And we think the bed wasn't actually a king size as it was too small to the frame). I may have been less forgiving on the review had they only charged about $100-125 per night. 3 stars at best.
Room was well maintained and serviced daily.
Overall, the location was perfect for my needs. The property has been recently updated but still has that feel of a typical 3 star inn. I would recommend this place if you are looking to get to the local beaches quick. The place is very clean and well maintained. This is a place for a family that would like a little get away with a pool and a BBQ area. Breakfast is not offered at this location but is located very conveniently to a Publics and eating establishments. In the future if I do come back to this area I would stay again.
Neat, clean and comfortable room. Easy access to the Legacy Bike Trail which was the reason for our visit.
cleanliness, convenient location, friendly staffs
There is a beautiful quiet amount of space in the middle of the property with barbeque grills, an excellent pool and gazebos which make staying there a pleasure

Very convenient location with many shops, restaurants and beach very near by.
Friendly staff. The courtyard is private and consists of a pool and garden area. Will stay here again.
We were pleasantly surprised during our stay. Driving around the building, it doesn't look like much, and could definitely use some cleanup, and maybe a fresh coat of paint. But the double queen room we stayed in was clean, well decorated, and surprisingly fresh. The bathroom and tub looked fairly new, which is always a low point in motels. The pool chemistry was off, and the water was cloudy, so we didn't sped much time in the pool. But they have a cute courtyard area with multiple tables, grills, and places to chill. Considering the price, we'll probably stay there again if we visit the area.
