I’ve stayed at low cost and high cost places and never had the hotel personally reach out about my stay. I had a minor issue that was immediately taken care. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Last minute trip, place is clean and updated. It’s not a 5 star hotel but for the price I am definitely impressed. It also has a cute little tiki bar that is in front and adjacent to the pool.

10/10 Exceptional

I am Walking Across America for Mental Health Awareness & Recovery, over 9,100 miles! I have been in the Manatee County, Florida area for a little while, as I’ve been covered some extra distance and meeting people. This hotel has been freshly renovated, and they have amazing grades as they are trying to let people know where to go around here, especially if you want a really nice room and save a few bucks compared to everything else in the area! The people have been very friendly, And the rooms are definitely nice. Pretty good size TV as well. Definitely enjoyed it!

Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay!

This was a delight of a stay, it had every little amenity I was looking for, and then some! It was an even better place to stay than I had imagined, especially because of the mixed reviews in the past. I understand the place was renovated over the last few months, which makes sense - the room feels new and shiny!
Victor, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property was perfect for our stay before flying home early the next morning. Eduardo was great getting us in early and Stevie was awesome at the Tiki Bar.
