Nice two level unit right by the water. Comfortable, clean, spacious, and a convenient location. Our only issue was the patio slide door wouldn't lock and we couldn't get the TV to change channels. Other than that - it was quiet and a great stay.

Great bay view, great front desk help. Hotel was a definite 1 star only. Everything is dated OLD. Lots of repairs needed throughout room and property. Bedding was clean so no complaints there. Pricing was a little high for a 1 star hotel with limited amenities. Paying for the view.

Sort of weird. The hotel is currently literally inside a construction zone - you have to drive down a rough dirt road to get there. The room is quite run-down (the construction is replacing the current structure). But everything - wifi, AC, plumbing - works. The free continental breakfast is a joke. However, it is on the water. The back door of the room opens right onto the bay. We saw manatees and a dolphin right there. The attached restaurant is just fine.

Front desk staff very friendly. Accommodated our request for a lower level room. Restaurant/tiki bar area just wonderful. Able to see manatees right by the tiki bar!! Food was very good. Only downside, rooms are very very old. Major need of updating. However, they are doing construction on 2 new buildings, so i would not hold it against them. Super location!!
Right off side of tiki bar/restaurant, next to my table!!

The restaurant and dock next door were pretty, as pictured, and there was a gorgeous view out of the room window, but the hotel itself was shady. It was old, dirty, dilapidated, and falling apart. Rusty lights, caulking on the floor, door jambs were rotting out. Four locks on the door, some of which did not work. For $120, I would have expected something a little less ancient. Room did have hardwood floors, and the hotel staff was very nice.

Great location and restaurant. Room was comfortable but we didn't have hot water for showers this morning which was rough after swimming with manatees at 32' outside! Otherwise comfortable and affordable.
