My only complaint is, I couldn’t find any glasses or cups. That’s because they were under the sink in the bathroom. My one recommendation is for them to put up a small sign which says that that is where you can find them. Otherwise a really great stay!!!

Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Can’t beat the location for walking to downtown, Lithia Park, shops, restaurants and, of course, the theaters. They even had an ev charger for our car, but after we charged it, we parked it and didn’t drive for the next 3 days.

It’s an older hotel that has been nicely maintained. Beds were comfortable and the air worked well to keep us cool. We spent an afternoon in the pool and hot tub soaking our bones! The location was fantastic! Very safe feeling area within close proximity (walking distance) to Lithia Park and all of the cute shops and restaurants downtown.

Very expensive for a smelly (musty) room with a lumpy bed and a comforter with insides that fell to the bottom of the bed. I would choose a different place to stay.

Pretty basic and dated accomodations. Kid friendly which means the hot tub gets suspicious and you might be treated to...youthful exuberance. Honestly, I'd pass for the next trip
