Perfect place to stay!

The staff at this hotel were wonderful. We were treated as valued guests from the moment we checked in. Our room wasn’t large but recently renovated and well laid out so it didn’t feel crowded. Everything was spotless clean and in good working condition. The location is perfect! Everything is within walking distance. About a 2 minute walk to Castillo de San Marcos fort. The trolley stops right in front of the hotel. We had our choice of multiple great restaurants within a 2 block radius. We’ll definitely be back again!

This hotel is in an excellent location. You can walk to several dining options and shopping. The room was clean and comfortable. There is music from area restaurants which didn’t bother me at all. But if prefer a quiet area you may not like it.
