Quaint old Florida style motel that’s been updated. Liked that we could pull right up to our room and check in was easy. The beds were decent. There was a fridge and microwave, was hoping for a coffee maker. When we got there around 11pm there was quite a few people out and about but no one was loud or bothersome. You do hear the train go by a few times throughout the night. Overall, was a nice stay and good enough to stay at passing through! Would stay again on our travels.

Clean room and staff was very friendly and accommodating however, the inn was being renovated and some construction noise. Also the ac was very noisy. Train noise all times of the night. Overall a very nice stay of 3 days and would stay there again. But maybe after all the construction is over.
