Personally, I love this hotel! It is not luxury or modern, but I prefer a vintage field. It was very affordable and clean. Everyone was super helpful and I loved the location. I could walk most places that I wanted to go and I really enjoyed my morning walk to the .

Great staff. Fixtures, Furniture, and Decor are very worn and dated. The location is perfect and priced low for the area. It's clean and safe. More of a place to crash after a night out in downtown Pete.
