Top The Funk Zone Hotel Reviews

Lemon Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Es un lugar muy cómodo y acogedor me gusta mucho que es un lugar familiar y limpio ."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here as a family of three with our baby and had a good experience overall. The hotel is reasonably priced, in a convenient location, and has easy parking and a quick check-in process. We had an issue with our first room. The staff fixed it right away, but when the problem came back the next day, they offered to move us to a different room without any hassle. Breakfast is included and has the basics—egg bites, bacon, sausage, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, bagels, pastries, and coffee. Nothing special, and the hot food was pretty salty, but it was convenient. They also put out freshly baked complimentary chocolate chip cookies at 3 p.m. The hotel is pet-friendly, so expect to see dogs around the property. Overall, it's a good value, and we'd stay here again."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a wonderful place to stay. I had a great night sleep and a great breakfast. My room was perfect! The bed was so comfortable, and the kitchen was so big and had everything one would need for an extended stay. Everything was great! I wish I had another day there. I will be sure to stay here again on my next trip. It was a 10 out of 10."

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was definitely 10/10. The cleanliness, the staff, the quality of customer service. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing was the room was small but for me on a solo date that was fine and that won’t lower my score. It’s also connected to a restaurant that has amazing food! I cannot wait to go again and stay here. Also, rent the bikes and explore the city. They are free as a guest staying there."
