9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)

AC was really good. Good size TV, in good position to watch from the sofa or bed. Staff very helpful. Plenty of free parking. Great location for Ringling Museum and other attractions, and nice walking areas without driving. Breakfast was very good and well worth getting included. It is a coupon for $35 per too, which was more than enough if two.
