Location
9
Positive mentions: several guests cited proximity to the beach and downtown activities and found the location convenient.
Room Quality
5.5
Mixed: comfortable beds and pillows reported by some, but others noted holes in bathroom walls, nasty vents, dirty floors, cigarette smells and bedbug reports — uneven room quality.
Amenities
6.5
Mixed amenities: pool/hot tub and in-room microwave praised; however no elevator (stairs to upper floors) and basic/limited breakfast offerings reduce the score slightly.
Value for Money
8
Perceived as good value: multiple guests called it a great deal and inexpensive for what they needed; some billing disputes affect perceived value for a few stays.

5.5
Generally criticized: breakfast described as very basic with limited choices and cheap disposables (paper plates, plastic cutlery) in multiple comments.
Overall Experience
8
Overall mixed but leaning positive: many guests reported a pretty good stay, comfortable beds and helpful staff; a minority of stays included severe issues (bedbugs, safety concerns, billing problems) that contrast with the majority of positive experiences.

Cons:

Neighbors have zero carrier for those around them. I was up very, very late most nights because of neighbors. as well room smell musty, and would be surprised if there was mold also, every bit of metal was rusted.

Pros:

We booked a stay at this Hotel for 4 nights.Upon arrival,my family was doing a light cleaning before unpacking and during inspection of the bed noticed 3 crawling bugs.Pictures were taken and bugs were placed in napkin and bought to front desk to be seen Maintenance determined exactly what we assumed,they were bedbugs !!!!!!
Disgusted and frustrated because now we have to find another place to stay while in Florida ,let alone spend more money to adjust our situation..
And to add insult to injury,I took days for our money to be replaced on my credit card..BEDBUGS !!!!!!!!

La piscine

Cons:

Le petit déjeuné très basic, très peu de choix et la salle à manger c’est un peu n’importe quoi les tables mises n’importe comment et surtout pas assez de table pour tout le monde.
