Old Florida

Staff very friendly. You can tell the age of the property but from what I could tell well maintained. Only thing I would say is the water pressure isn’t the best for my thick curly hair. This was the 2nd time I’ve stayed here and just booked a 3rd visit next week. I like to be left alone after procedures and they were very accommodating and understanding.

Property was great.it was everything that it said it would be. Was told by Expedia that I had a perk and to ask when I arrived at check in. When I arrived to the resort they said I was not given anything and that is was usually would pop up during check in. I showed them a screenshot of said perk but was not given anything.

Only stayed one night and weather was rainy during my stay so unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy the pool, but liked having a balcony. Room is large and clean, cute retro appliances, friendly staff, good vibes at this hotel. Would recommend!

Friendly and fast check in and check out, the room was clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable. Our room was away from pool so it was quiet, pool is big and deep and open until 10pm, very nice, good old tiki vibe. Old but clean hotel.
