Convenient location to Ana Maria which is where we wanted to go. Small pool but still enjoyed it. Lobby was really clean and smelled good. The only issue I had was the room smelled musty from the AC. I lit a candle and it sufficed for our day trip.

We had a pleasant stay. The hotel was clean, and the beds were very comfortable, which made for a great night's sleep. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which offered a variety of options and was a great way to start the day. We did not have the opportunity to use the pool, so we cannot comment on that amenity. Overall, we had a positive experience
