We love this Hotel & its staff! I love the old Fla style! Yes, it’s older but clean!!! This is our 2nd visit here & enjoy the pool, beach, restaurant!! Thank you to Chris, the housekeeper for us during our stay(356). So kind & caring!!! Rose Marie at the front desk.. so kind & caring as well!! The staff is wonderful! Love the location, being able to use the shuttle or trolley. I like the other guests who value a quiet, laid back, relaxing time while proving excellent customer services. Was sad to leave!

This is an older property but was clean and had everything needed for a great vacation. Pool is huge with so many lounge chairs. Large tiki bar right by pool and only steps from beach. They provide beach lounge chairs and umbrellas and towels and cold bottled water at no extra charge. The food was outstanding as was all the staff !! Loved our stay in our poolside room !!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the location and the nostalgia of the place but could tell that no one really cares about it. I’m almost certain it’s in the process of being sold. So much maintenance needs to be done. Location is ideal.

We stayed in room 225 from 2/27 to 3/3 2024 A) our room key hardly worked B) only one outlet in room would charge a phone. C) updates needed to outside of building. Otherwise A great resort

It’s an older hotel that could use updating but it’s reasonably priced and has great amenities, especially if you are flying and will need towels, beach chairs, transportation around the area. The staff are friendly and the pools are very nice. I would recommend this hotel.

The rooms need upgraded. The laundry service on site was convenient. The pools and location on the beach is great! The resort fees are ridiculous (on top of the room cost).

ANTS!! In the room. Broken doors. Tub water faucet can’t be shut off. I see why it’ll be demolished. But it’s sad that it’s a bygone soon. Last of history.

very nice staff, rooms clean but a little dated. Should update the rooms, TV. You are paying for the beach location, not the room.

The property is an "Olde Florida" resort and could use some updating, but it was clean and every staff member that we walked passed or dealt with directly were very nice and attentive. Would stay here again!
