“Worked well for us!!”

Heated pool was great. Location made easy access to many nearby attractions. Owner was a great travel guide with extensive knowledge of many areas of South Florida. He found us a great deal on a mini trip, and had many contacts for price breaks for locat attractions!

“Bit of a designer's nightmare (lol) but clean and comfortable...”

The room, decor, and furniture has seen better days but, overall, was clean and comfortable. The office and cleaning personnel were great. The view of the canal, and the big windows to let the air in was a "breath of fresh air" to a northerner who just came from the frozen tundra. Having the a kitchen and living room made it feel more like a cottage than a hotel room. Even with the pool right outside the windo, the place was peaceful and restful. If you are looking for luxury and an elegant decor go else where. If you are looking for clean, comfortable and a bit eclectic this is your place...

“Very Clean..... Nice Dog”

Nice middle aged people who own the motel. Very clean and quiet. Furniture is from the 70's and the rooms are large. The nice deck behind the motel is lite up with small lights at night. Would bring my family.

“A quiet comfortable place to stay”

A nice place with a home type feel too it.Its not too far from most attractions;quiet and comfortable.

“A very good place to stay. Inexpensive, nice pool, nice patio area in back, etc.”

The Dockside Inn is a very small hotel (only 14 rooms in all). I prefer smaller hotels because you are actually able to use the pool without having to swim through a crowd of people. The pool itself, and the entire pool area was very clean. We used it almost every day. It was very quiet at the hotel, with the lone exception of the incessant traffic noise along Del Prado blvd (even at night). There is a very nice area in the back of hotel: dock, water view, and patio area. The only other thing I did not like about the hotel (other than the traffic noise) was that the room was not cleaned the entire week we stayed (March 1 - 8). They also did not change out the towels (unless we requested it). I guess this isn't really that bad, I am just used to clean sheets and towels every day at other hotels I've stayed at over the years. All-in-all, I would say that the Dockside Inn is a great place to stay. It was very comfortable there, fairly quiet, not too many guests, and there was plenty to do in the immediate vicinity. Loved the pool!

“Getting better”

It was refreshing to stay in a small, family-run hotel. The owners really care about their guests! They are working very hard to upgrade the rooms with new floors and updated furnishings. Though the hotel is on a busy street, the soundproofing is good so street noise wasn't a problem. If there's anything you don't like about the room, or if you need anything, just tell the owners right away and they'll take care of it. We especially enjoyed how much space we had for all our kids' stuff.

“Dockside hit”

This hotel was extremely clean and well run. The grandkids especially liked chasing the geicos!! The dock on the channel was a delight - both during the day when you could catch a cool breeze and in the evening when it was decoratively lit. I enjoyed the fact that it was VERY pet friendly.

“very clean and neat”

I would definetly stay again, would be even more appealing if they had wireless. All in all a very nice place to stay.

“Great views”

Take advantage of walking along the docks. Room was great for a budget room.

“Nice Place to Visit”

The rooms were clean and comfortable. I liked the fact that it is a small motel. The dock in the back is wonderfully relaxing. I will be staying there next trip.
