Room was clean and adequate. Reading lights on both sides of bed were convenient as well as plug ins for chargers on each night stand. No frills but met our needs for a reasonable price. Renovating first floor so assuming that will bring upgrades to the facility in general. Landscaping and foliage very well maintained and attractive. Staff very friendly.

O loved the easy check in process. Amdrew was amazing and always responsive to questions. I didnt like rhe options for breakfast. It is a very basic continental. I think it would be good to have some bacon or fruits. The hotel was clean, beds were confortable and most important the sheets and pillows didn't smell like dry sweat. Rooms were clean. I recommend this hotel if you are passing by and it's really closed to siesta beach. Very convinient.

First stay and will stay again

Great overnight stay! From the person on the phone when I called to confirm some information. His name is Andrew! He was professional and Kind! Very kind-hearted person! He made me feel safe and secure, even before checking in! My bed was very comfortable! And, I slept well! Enjoyed the pool and hot - tub! When I checked-in, the front desk and evening desk attendant, both were pleasant and friendly, provided great information and answered, no matter how many questions I had...LOL The breakfast was good, next time hopefully, they'll add some Hot breakfast meats to their menu!!

I loved my stay. The staff were very accommodating, polite and professional. Especially Andrew, Kanyjah and Alison. We arrived early and our room was not ready Andrew and Alison did everything possible to make our wait pleasant. They stored our luggage and offered us beach umbrellas so we can spend time at the beach during our wait. When we got back Kanyjah recommended an excellent restaurant for us to dine in. All were so polite.

While you were misrepresented on Expedia, what you had was enough for our stay. What struck me first was how clean everything felt. With that came trust. The next thing, how nice all the staff were----including the cleaning staff. I was very impressed and would stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay, the property was very nice. The breakfast was very disappointing. You had two toasters but no bread for toast. Not everyone wants bagels. Plus i can't remember the last hotel i stayed in that didn't have a waffle or pancake maker. No meat on the bar either
