The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Staff was kind and helpful. Maintenance is required in the room assigned to me (the faucet in the tub could not be completely turned off once it was turned on). The breakfast buffet was enjoyable though the pancake machine is in need of cleaning and apparently a belt change as well. The pool was clean and pleasant but the pool towels provided are thin and small. Parking is plentiful and the location is convenient.

This was a great little place. We wanted to swim with the manatees so decided to book a stay close to the boat. What a surprise. Cleanest hotel we had all week! Free breakfast was really good— big selection of yummy foods. Wonderful break from the masses of people on the beaches.
