Good choice

Older building our tub shower had a really weird design had to climb literally into it balmy very nice. Pretty small room service is good. Staff is good. Breakfast is very simple courteous quick tasty. This is a good choice for the money. You can’t get much closer to the beach and it’s well maintained the family has Two right there in Boca grande and a third somewhere else. It’s well run safe clean. It’s a good choice. The AC works good. The TV works good. There’s plenty of hot water.

Looks like the property could use a facelift. Breakfast was lacklustre, though the juice was delicious. Need “do not disturb” signs for the doors so people will not knock, or try to get in (!!!) as was our experience.

Highly not recommended to stay

reception lobby hot, breakfast was bad not much options, rooftop dinning area super hot, mold smell in room, stairs are terrible high height , even there is elevator but you still have to climb the stairs to get the room. bathtubs was so high and old, high risk of slip and fall, they have no security in hotel to help you, will never go back again over all Bad experience
