We stayed at most of the hotels in the area and this one is pretty good for the 2 day stay we had! We will stay here next time for sure. 2 blocks to the harbor and about 3-4 blocks to sterns pier and state st.
The breakfast was plenty and I ate very well if you know what I mean!

Staff at the Hotel were friendly, helpful and Courteous. Renovated rooms were nice, beds comforatable. The included breakfast was good to start to the day. The location was excellent. Close to the beach, park across the street with tennis and pickleball. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by including State St and Funk Zone.
