“Nice but too Far from Everything”
The hotel was surprising nice and we had a large extended family there with kids. The pool was real nice and the room was very big. The beds were comfy and clean which is very important to me, but the shower was a waste of time. The hotel is obviously renovated, but the plumbing is not. The water pressure and temperature is shared with pretty much everyone, so it was impossible to have a decent shower during peak times. It was either scolding hot or freezing, and then it spit out at us slower than a drizzle. The bathroom was also not perfectly clean. It was acceptable, but I hate hairs everywhere. It shows me they don't clean thoroughly. The carpets were old and gross; we just don't go barefoot, but I find that most older hotels are like this. The only real problem though was that it was too far from all the fun on Duval and Whitehead. We ended up having to rent scooters or take our cars and pay premium for parking when I was hoping we could just walk everywhere. This is not true. Get a hotel on Duval or make sure it is on the west side of the island or you'll regret it later. But if you aren't looking for all the action, this hotel was just fine for families. Quiet and away from it all. Breakfast was ok, but they just didn't have enough selection and closed very promptly at 10.
