Check in was terrible. check in instructions were not provided and contacting the owner was impossible as a tourist with an eSIM. Mini fridge was not cleaned out from previous guests. Cleanliness needed improvement. Beds were very comfortable. Continent and affordable accommodation.

As stated in other reviews it is in an industrial area with not much in the area. We found a great family restaurant around the corner. Great place to stopover while doing the ring road

Very clean and comfortable property. It is however in an industrial estate which is slightly strange setting for a good property. 10 minutes aways is a lovely black sand beach howeve and it is a good location for exploring the peninsula

In an industrial area of town, but nice place to stay. The building and room felt new, and everything was very clean & comfortable. The host was very responsive and friendly.

The ventilation fan in bathroom can’t be turn off. At night, it is partially noisy. Called staff but solve it. It is clarified this is not required by local code. It should be the top priority in to do list for the owner.

The room itself was lovely! It was a good size with a private bathroom! Location-wise, it was a bit out of the way with very limited food/activity options. It was right next to an Orlando gas station which was convenient. We stayed here as a home based for the Golden Circle and it was a great location for our purposes! Parking was super easy and free as well:)

The property itself was sparkling clean and modern, apparently recently built. Rooms are on the 2nd floor, so the elevator was a big plus had strong wifi service. But, the area is largely an industrial seaport (though quiet) and the nearest "beach" is a mile away. There is no onsite staff, and they email you building entry instructions the morning of arrival. This is not a practical plan for travelers without local cell service.
