Its clean but its also an old Motel. The door in our bathroom would not stay closed due to shifted frame, old school/noisy air-conditioning, etc. However the location is awesome, the staff is fabulous and the manatees are pleantiful.

Last year we stayed in a nicer room near the water. This year the building was just too old. Tiny weird bathroom…and just not great. The staff is really nice though. Breakfast was decent. Tiki bar food was really good. Super cute gift/dive shop by the water.
