Oldie but goodie
Pros:

Good location right in downtown Vero beach close to shops ,restaurants and only a few miles to the beach . The pool area was nice you can tell they just put in new patio furniture and clean. The staff was friendly enough and although it is old and could use a remodel it's clean and inexpensive .

NASTY FILTHYHOTEL
Pros:

What a scam. The outside of the property is well maintained. The halls/rooms are disgusting! I regret having booked my reservation on Expedia. If I had been smart I would have driven into Vero and asked to see a room and I would have walked!

The hall floors/walls/glass windows are filthy!!! My room was on the first floor close to the pool area. NO CHAIRS/TABLES anywhere in the pool area. They don't want anyone to use the pool, I guess.

My room was gross! carpet full of debris (guessing the last time it was vacuumed was at least 2 mo. ago), bathroom floor NASTY....grout needs deep cleaning, tub gross, stained shower curtain, rusting shower head, toilet seat lid had what looked like feces on it. Stains on all the lamp shades. Grease next to the headboard of one of the beds. nightstand was filthy. I didn't want to touch anything. Sliding glass door dirty and big crack in the glass at the bottom of the door.

I never once heard a vacuum cleaner being used by any of the tired, old staff. I used the washer and dryer in the hall. DRYER IS NOT DRYING CLOTHES!

DON'T BOTHER STAYING THERE UNLESS YOU ARE DEAD BROKE.
