Guest Ratings & Reviews
The room was spacious and comfortable, equipped with a fridge, but lacked extra towels and blankets. Some noise and banging on the walls affected the overall comfort. The location was strategic for accessing key attractions like the Everglades and Miami, although it was congested and challenging to drive into. The service varied from rude behavior to pleasant interactions, with a mix of social interactions in the lobby. The dining options were minimal, with basic offerings available. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel offered lower gas prices and helpful information about local attractions.
I had a pleasant stay overall with clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location despite a few drawbacks in terms of dining and construction noise. The value for money was reasonable.
The hotel's location is perfect for exploring the Everglades East Park and provides easy access to the Keys. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the dining options were inconsistent. The service was a mix of engaging and helpful staff, with some instances of rudeness. Despite being a bit far from Key West, the hotel offers good value for money.
