Very clean building, friendly staff there was a problem with the air in the first room, but the staff quickly got us into another room and had someone checking the air out in the first room. Great breakfast and fast easy checkout. Would most definitely stay here any time.

Diane is a rockstar
My stay was wonderful, it was a surprise trip for my son to see a concert in which Diane who was at the front desk helped surprise my son to let him know we are taking to the concert. She was also very friendly very attentive during our stay it was a wonderful friendly face that will have our family returning. The breakfast was delicious and the room was wonderful it was a beautiful hotel stay.

We booked a suite for 1 night and there was enough space where 6 people didn’t feel crowded. I’ve never seen a pancake machine that cooked 2 perfectly cooked pancakes in 2 minutes. Great location. Ten minutes or so drive to the Cruise Port Parking.

Always the Best stay
Best night sleep I've had in 2 weeks. Coffee 24/7. Breakfast is more than adequate in the morning, excellent and much appreciated. Staff is so attentive and friendly. We come up from Cape Coral to Shands Hospital and will only stay here. Thank you so much
