Great hotel!

The hotel is right at the beach next to a Circle K gas station and two restaurants on either side. Very convenient. Good location. Plenty of parking. Please note that there is an extra fee of about $13 a night to park that I didn't know about. The lobby was clean and bright and was also where the included breakfast would be in the mornings. The breakfast was GREAT. Juices and hot food as well as bagels/toast/muffins/cereal. There is a pool that was very clean and great at the end of the day. My room was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. There's nothing bad I can say about my stay here.

I came down for one day business trip and decided to bring my family. I just randomly chose this hotel and it was awesome. I will definitely come back and stay again. I couldn’t ask for anything more from the rate to the hotel the cleaning this their room was exactly as described, and it was well clean. I will definitely stay again. My only concern was there was no meat option to choose from in the breakfast buffet, but that’s the only thing I gotta worry about life is good.

It was everything advertised at a great price compared to the other properties in the area. My wife and I took a quick trip for the weekend and loved the hotel. It is in a great location in relation to the beach as well as other areas on the island. We really enjoyed our stay.

They must’ve had an off weekend with plumbing in the entire building. My husband had to go across the street to use the public beach restrooms because we literally couldn’t flush the toilets in our bathroom or the main one in the lobby. The room AC was also made loud thumping noise if you set it below 71 degrees. The only positive ~ it was perfectly convenient to the beach, Fort Clinch State Park, and a few restaurants. Not sure that I would stay again.
