"Another overpriced Florida ripoff in a region that is similar to the Jersey Shore and not an upscale destination. Add the per night occupancy taxes aimed at sticking it to the tourists who do not vote in the state and it became a very expensive stay for what felt like a semi-maintained establishment.
Property is old and in need of an upgrade. For example, door of the room was hard to open, as was the front entrance which is difficult to go through when trying to carry luggage. The layout of the hotel is a little convoluted, and the elevators are rundown (they tend to close quickly, too). The small pool was okay and the Rum Runner restaurant is average and currently noisy due to construction of new restaurant and pool, which was not mentioned in advance when booking was done. It’s the only option for breakfast and the service was slow.
The room itself wasn’t bad and a good size. But there was no luggage rack for suitcases and the safe deposit box is down near the floor with shelves above, which makes it difficult for those who are older and struggle more to bend over. There was no room service during our two night stay.
This property is geared toward families and teenagers, so it’s a little noisy at times but quiet when time to sleep.
My biggest objection was a 5 star price for a 3 star hotel. I have been in many different hotels of different levels of quality in many different locations and this was below average when comparing the quality versus the price.
