Loved the place. Location couldn’t have been better. And Dwight at the front desk was awesome!!!
Pros:

Very good. Nice variety. Cute eating area.

Cons:

Only tiny complaint is there should be some kind of soap — bar soap or liquid— by the sink in the bathroom.

Zimmer sind laut, keine Isolation (weder Schall, noch Temperatur).

Overall a great stay. The staff were lovely and for a 3* property it exceeded our expectations. Main thing for us was th
Pros:

Lovely Inn in an amazing location, just a couple blocks from Duval Street. Great pool and lounging area. Very clean! Breakfast was a nice touch as well. Staff were super lovely.

Cons:

The Sweet Rooms were a little small. We travelled far to the Keys so had quite a bit of luggage with us. Would be perfect for a weekend especially if you were not needing to travel far.

Super Lage und tolles Frühstück.
Pros:

Super tolles Frühstück mit sehr viel Auswahl, auch mal gesunde Sachen. ;-) Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet, man kann zu Fuß alles Schöne und Wichtige erreichen und kann das Mietauto in Sicherheit auf dem eigenen Parkplatz stehen lassen.
