Recommend this place very much parking is great staff is great nice location
Staff were very friendly and the pool was wonderful! Very quiet, relaxing stay with everything I needed, very close to the beach and shopping and restaurants. Great place!
Rare vintage Florida motel on Treasure Island with true old-school charm. The staff is amazing, and the location is wonderful—within walking distance of everything you could want for a perfect beach vacation.
Super cute motel! Rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. Could use an upgrade on the sheets. The pool was great! Within walking distance to restaurants and bars. I would stay here again!
Was an excellent place to stay. Close to the beach. Close to the skooner sunset cruise, which was awesome. Walking distance to eat or the ice cream shop was awesome.
