Hotel was located perfectly to explore the Everglades and begin a road trip to Key West. Good value for money. We required to drive to reach food outlets. Area didn’t feel very safe.

Check in and out was ok. The room was ok. The shower was AWFUL. We had to take a SCOLDING hot shower, or none at all. The towels feel like sandpaper. The pillows sucked. I also slept horrible due to outside cars.

We have stayed here a number of times now. The rooms are good with a great central pool area for relaxing and a dip and the great sounds of all of the birds. Very handy for accessing the Everglades and the Keys. Other than an excellent breakfast facility there is no bar of catering on-site, but there are places around which offer good food.

Overall a good experience. Room was clean. Shower curtain rod was half broken but functional. Staff was very good. The first night was very noisy as there were some loud cars racing on the street and then chased by the siren wailing cops. I am sure it was a one off incidence. But overall a goof experience.

Facility was clean and well kept, with a generous breakfast board. Staff were polite and accommodating. Several dining options were available within walking distance, although none were high end restaurants. My only complaint is that the very attractive outdoor pool patio area was sometimes overrun with cigarette-smoking guests, which marred the experience of sitting or lounging poolside.

Everything about the place was clean and neat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Only thing I didn’t care for was how stiff the bed was. Legitimately one of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve slept in.

This was a great stay. Would totally stay again. Although a bit older property with doors opening to the exterior instead of to an indoor corridor, it was very well maintained, clean, great staff, good breakfast with lots of options. Price was great. Location was perfect close to the Everglades and Key Biscayne national parks. And pretty much the last stop before you hit the keys. Perfect

Nice hotel.
Nice hotel. Bed was a little too firm for me but they do give you 6 pillows. Shower was good with excellent water pressure. Hotel was VERY quiet. I would definitely stay here again.
