this hotel offers a retro old-school Florida charm in an area that’s increasingly becoming mainstream modern. Love the neon sign out front and being able to pull right up to your room with car. The room itself It’s a little small but clean ,the air-conditioning, television sinks, and bathroom facilities all worked well very short, hop to the beach or to walk to the supermarket or the local restaurants. Too hard to go back and edit for punctuation after doing this review by voice definitely enjoyed the stay.
