"Nice quiet clean room with fully equipped kitchen. Great for a small getaway. We could walk right out to the canal and watch the manatees and dolphins swim. Also saw an eagle flying over as well as several other species of birds. If you have a boat you can dock outside your door in the canal or rent a boat from nearby. "

"We got locked out of our room because there locks weren’t working and they weren’t sure if the master key would work on not because they were off line. When we returned the morning staff never informed the evening staff and the issue was never fixed, however we were able to get into the room with a new key but they again weren’t sure if it was going to work. The next day upon checking out and asking how everything was I mentioned the lock out and the response was “oh yea, have a great day”. We were never informed of wifi password or breakfast options either just that the front desk staff was very tired from lots of drunk people the previous days on the roof top bar. They were nice however not very helpful at all or informative. Also our room was never cleaned no towels replaced either I’m assuming again due to the lock issue. "

"Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very happy and friendly. "
