Location was convenient. Check-in was easy and staff were very friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a bit noisy with I-95 being right there, but with the noise from the AC, it wasn’t terrible and didn’t disturb my sleep. Breakfast was ok. I would stay here again.
Property not that easy to get to due to construction. Great breakfast FREE. Air conditioning very cold. Actually too cold made all my stuff feel wet. Beds comfortable, clean bathroom.

The pool/courtyard area was very nice complete with a kids playground and dog park. The front desk lady was super nice and very informative. Liked that they had access to selling tickets to various attractions right at their front desk. Breakfast was very good.

The clean pool and jacuzzi made the stay worth it. Sheets don’t fit the beds and they were stingy with giving extra towels. Tv and rooms needed updating bad. Alright for a short stay only!
We had our pups with us and they put us right next to the dog park. Was perfect. Only negative our TV had two lines out in the center, one red one blue but we weren’t in the room enough to complain. It’s near a cute coffee shop, tropical smoothie, a Mexican restaurant and gas station all within walking distance without having to cross the road. It is an older property so nothing fancy dancy but comfortable, convenient, and affordable.
Smell on entering room awful, smelled of smoke! and marajauna! Sheets didn’t fit bed , children running around late into the evening! In general a very unpleasant 2 day stay

It’s ok
The first morning we went for breakfast the warmers had been off and the food was ice and the front desk lady made light of it.
It was just over night but everything was good they put us on the inside Court yard so we didn't hear 95 near by it was great! Also had a hot breakfast which was nice
