Good location and comfortable enough for the price. We did not realize there is a $25 daily resort fee so be aware. Not sure what for as bike rentals are extra. Guess maybe just for use of the pools?

We loved the island vibe of this older establishment. Everyone on the staff was pleasant, helpful, and great! On the Duval bus loop, but the entire area is an easy walk away. We had the pool to ourselves over half the time. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights on the property. Room was large and clean. The bathroom was small but clean. Pool was great after walking around all day. Parking was a little tight but we were so close to Duval St., we never used our car while on the island. We did rent scooters for the day which I would highly recommend to explore more of the island. Hotel does rent bikes and scooters as well.

For the money, the motel was acceptable reasonable clean place to lay your head at night. You’re not spending time in your room. The only issue I found was the air conditioner kicking on and off every 15 minutes.
