The room was very pretty; nice first impression. The floor was sticky, but that could just be the humidity and proximity to the ocean. It was not pleasant to walk in the room barefoot.
All amenities advertised were in place and great. Free breakfast was wonderful.
There is no shopping within walking distance. The birding center and the turtle rescue are directly across the street.
Our complaints are twofold.
First, the mattresses were hard as boards. There would be no difference in your level of comfort whether you slept on the bed or on the cold, tiled floor.
Second, the air conditioning unit was not well maintained. It was very loud. When it kicked on it shook and rattled with such ferocity we wondered if Starbase was launching a rocket.
We left the hotel after spending just one night. When we checked out, the desk clerk did not ask why we were leaving early nor did she offer to make things better for the remainder of our stay.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend this hotel.
