Good inexpensive choice!

Good inexpensive choice. Large room with comfortable bed, good seating, and quiet efficient a/c. Set back from road so it’s quiet. A bit worn and shabby. Nice large pool and deck.

The staff is very friendly. Our room was very clean. Expect the basic when you stay here. No frills, but worth the money. You can see that the owners are in the process of updating, but they still have a way to go. The pool area is nice and clean. Plenty of parking lot lighting. I would stay here again.

OK, high score overall cause of value and location. Also, nice staff. But it's definitely a property that's seen better days. Pretty rundown. Had to change rooms cause of mildew, but desk clerk was eager to find me a new room.

Ok for a 1 night stay

Older hotel, floors need to be cleaned more but laminate flooring better than carpets. Many of the guests appear to be residents. Front desk guy very accommodating, offered me choice of 2 rooms. Limited breakfast. Good location. It is what you would expect for the price.

We were in Merritt Island for a wedding and wanted a room near the venue. The price was good so we took a chance even after reading a couple unfavorable reviews. The staff was very accommodating and nice! The breakfast was basic but free. The room was ok for the price; no frills, very basic. The beds were clean, which is all we really cared about. The floor was dirty; I cleaned it with a washcloth and hand towels. Pretty much it's a get what you pay for place. Probably would stay there again.
