Location was great and convenient to Shopping/Entertainment/Food. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Drawback was bathroom not fully updated w/walk in shower and lack of chairs in room. Room was on 2Fl, not sure was prepared for the stairs but managed ok. Info at check in was not fully delivered. These comments would not deter us from returning but would be more mindful of the room location and inside of room accommodations.

We checked in and were given Room 14, and the condition was unacceptable from the start. The room was so humid that the bedding was damp, and there was a noticeable musty odor. After being out for the evening and returning later, the smell had intensified into a strong mold odor. It was so overwhelming that my husband couldn’t even sleep in the room and ended up sleeping outside by the pool. The next morning, we reported the issue to staff and were told there were no other rooms available and that they “normally would offer an ionizer, but don’t have any.” That was already concerning, but things got worse. A quick online search showed multiple rooms available, so the claim that nothing else was open was simply not true. Later, when I sent a written message asking for confirmation that nothing would be done, a new room suddenly became “available.” What made the situation even more troubling was what we found inside the room: multiple hidden odor-absorbing canisters tucked around the space. Clearly, the hotel knows this room has an ongoing mold problem but continues to rent it out for hundreds of dollars a night and then gaslights guests who raise concerns. Between the uninhabitable room, the misleading information from staff, and the obvious attempts to mask a known issue, this was an extremely disappointing experience. Guests deserve honesty and safe accommodations, and sadly, that is not what we experienced here.

Everything was awesome - Staff, property itself, breakfast. Only issue is that building is old and next to main roads so you will hear loud noises if your room is next to a road.

Room 11 was a great location! Pool was nice a quiet. Breakfast was phenomenal. Our room was nice but water pressure was poor. Bed was comfortable and pillows great. Our door didn’t shut well. The location was very quiet and felt very safe. Walking distance to some great locations- The Bull on Duval 1 block, conch republic 2 blocks. They DID offer onsite moped parking in the employee parking spot. We had called ahead and were told there was no moped parking close. Also, the held our bags for us before check in. The breakfast staff was incredible. Front desk Craig was a bit inhospitable, especially when it came to the free sangria hour. My husband walked over to get a drink a few minutes before they stopped and Craig cut him off and said NO, and took the pictures. His character seemed very brass and un-relatable no matter how hard we tried.
