The room is spacious and not crowded. The bed is large and comfortable. The car can be parked at the door, which is very convenient. Others are lackluster. It's better to just sleep and get up and go on the road.

#negative #I was disappointed with the Value for Money, Mosquito Control Measures, Corridor Soundproofing, Nearby Activities, Nearby Restaurants, Room Size; Summary: If you don't want to be intimidated by the deposit and then get angry, absolutely don't live.
First of all, it is very wrong to collect the deposit. Obviously, most hotels in the United States only use credit cards to collect the deposit, but this hotel strongly recommends that we pay the deposit in cash (in fact, it is to prepare for the non-refundable deposit later). At that time We paid cash.
Then when we checked out the next day, after the hotel staff came to check the room, they began to blackmail us, saying that because there was water outside the bathroom door, and then the wall outside the bathroom door would be damaged if it got wet, so they wanted us to compensate.
Why do we think it is extortion?
First, we have stayed in so many hotels, and we have never seen any claim for compensation because of water on the bathroom floor or outside the door, and this hotel has a shower room instead of a bathtub, and the floor of the shower room is covered with water-proof tiles. It is very short (about one slipper height), and the shower in the bathroom has a large amount of water, so no matter how you wash it, water will spill out.
Second, as a hotel, how can you install a wall that will be damaged by water at the entrance of the bathroom, not to mention the situation that the water overflows, won't the water vapor come out of the guest after taking a shower to damage the wall?
What makes me think that the hotel is a repeat offender is that after they talked about the problem of water seepage, they immediately said that the damage to the wall must be more than 500 dollars, but because he felt that they were also responsible for this situation, so he only deducted us. The deposit is only $100. After we were talking with him, he called the cleaner to dry the ground, and it was too late for us to take pictures and leave evidence.
After that, the process of discussing this matter with the hotel manager was also very unpleasant. First of all, we said that the bathroom would leak water outside the door, and your shower room design also has problems. He said that we should tell him about this problem when we check in and then apply for a replacement. house. Then I repeatedly emphasized that this is the law of Florida, and said that they would call the police to arrest us. I very much suspect that this routine is to bully new tourists who come to the beach, even the yellow race. First, the cash deposit is charged so that you cannot let the bank intervene and freeze, Then it is bullying you need to hurry, worry about trouble, don’t want to call the police, and finally intimidate when you encounter difficulties. We don’t know how many people finally admit that they are unlucky and give up their deposits.
By the way, in the end, we wanted to ask him for an instruction manual and a proof of the reason for the deduction of the deposit, but he only gave the proof of the deposit collection, and refused to sign and seal it.

DO NOT STAY HERE! I checked in only to find a room full of MOLD - the front desk would not do anything because it was booked with Agoda. I had to find another hotel and now fighting to get my money returned! DO NOT book here thru any 3rd party or they will leave you stranded and give you the run down rooms. attached is only 1 of the many I took of this room - there are other reviews saying the same thing the runs smell bad and if your ok with MOLD then stay here.

Im originally from Sarasota, and back in the day this was a by the hour motel, and the bar - bahi hut - was smokey, dim, and had a customer base of degenerates and working girls. No more. Its still dim, but the drinks are now actually good, and the customers are normal people. The room itself was very decent. Th bed was actually incredibly comfortable. There was some paint missing from the wall, as well as the bathroom door having a rotted bottom that made this a 4 star rather than a 5 start review. I would like to add however that the front desk service was EXCELLENT!

The property is a run down hotel. The room was filthy with mold, and definitely not up to code. We complained about the woman smoking right outside our door, and it wasn't addressed until after we checked out(manager covering her ass). Asked for a refund through ******* and the hotel stated they addressed our concerns, which the pictures I provided prove otherwise. DO NOT STAY HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN

Staff: half friendly and accommodating, half doesn’t care and will stare at you like a cat. room: super comfortable bed but didn’t have bedding for sofa bed, only three pillows for a king which seemed a bit odd, see below re sofa bed debacle. fridge made annoying noise. didn’t use air so can’t comment. shower: hardly any water pressure, but did the job. no bath mat supplied. floor was absolutely FILTHY. our feet turned black. after we washed our feet, we used flip flops the rest of the time inside the room to keep our feet clean. tiki bar: cool, uneven service but it was someone’s first day. free drink per adult was nice touch. didn’t mind waiting for service. FYI food menu only applies if food truck is actually there that day, so don’t be fooled by the menu listings. reminder for families with kids, you will need to leave before evening entertainment starts at 7 or so. pool area: big pool, well heated, avoid any days when they might have a pool party. extremely loud EDM blasting from 12-6 to the point where it was not even comfortable to be in our room with the porch door closed. we made the most of it and adopted a let’s pretend we’re twenty years younger if you can’t beat em join em attitude but would not want to repeat the experience. we did accidentally put two people in the booking window instead of three, so that may have resulted in the sofa bed not being made, but it seems strange that they don’t have enough blankets for all their beds. we were told when we asked about bedding that they would bring some sheets but that we should check back at 7 about a blanket. when we did, he said there were not blankets available but gave us extra sheets to use as blankets. this worked fine with some clothes flung on the bed for warmth, and the heat turned on for half an hour to take the chill out of the air, but would not be a solution for actual winter. like, go out and buy enough blankets for your hotel, guys. it does not seem like they have it very together and I'm not sure I would stay again, but we managed to enjoy ourselves hence the 4/5
