I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were quiet and secluded yet close to the pool and breakfast area, which was very attractive and clean. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location was great, close to Duval Street but in a nice quiet spot. The dining experience was fair, adequate but lacked variety, corresponding to the price paid for the night.

The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The location was superb, just steps away from key attractions. The dining experience was basic and had some cleanliness issues. Facilities were sufficient but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel is located close to the Hemmingway House, offering a serene and quiet environment. The rooms are small but cozy, with limited seating options. The friendly staff provides great recommendations and assistance, making the stay pleasant. The breakfast offers basic options, but the fresh local fish is a highlight.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were up to date and very clean, but lacked essential furniture like a lamp table or a chair. The noise levels were quite high, making it hard to enjoy watching TV. The service was beyond accommodating and friendly, except for a negative encounter with a hostile manager. The location, across the street from Hemingway House, was perfect, but the maintenance of amenities like coffee and water was subpar. Dining options were basic, mostly consisting of bread and cereals. The hotel had some positives and negatives, offering a friendly atmosphere but falling short in room amenities and dining choices.
