Decent room, like a cheap motel. There's no sign out front so i drive by it the first time. Best thing about it was the location. I only stayed one night but it was walking distance (10min) to St Armands circle for shops and eateries. I drove to my kayak tour launch but you could walk there too.

The owner not only provided me with a reservation within an hour but is the nicest person I’ve met in Florida. This is such a great place to stay when you just need a little quiet space to be. I can’t thank you enough.

Way overpriced for what you don’t get. The room smelled so bad when we first walked in and even with the windows open it never truly smelled okay. TV didn’t work. Not many towels. Bathroom was filthy.
