MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS

The room was clean and the location was great. But no where where we informed it wa major construction and we wouldn’t be able to talk to each other or on the phone at all. Woken up by men right outside my door. I asked that 1 of my 2 night be comped considering we had to move rooms and was told to park in the company space( then had to move ) .it was o inconvenient moving everything. They didn’t care; offered no discount or anything.

The room was recently redone and they are in the process of renovating the courtyard, but will likely be very nice when completed. Good value, about 2 blocks from the southern most point. The staff did come clean and replace towels on the second day, which was a pleasant surprise.

Not a bad choice

Reasonably priced for someplace to just crash for the night, beds were a luttle hard, no bfast, no pool, so just a place to crash and shower. AC kept room cold, did have a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Close walk to Duval, I would go back.

Hidden gem

Great little place. Really clean. Only two things stood out really. There is construction on the property, so parts of it were a mess. They upgraded us to a suite when we got there, which was great. But the front "living area" air conditioner struggled a bit. The one in the sleeping area was as cold as you could want it though, so that wasn't such a big deal. Over all, a great little hidden gem that definitely should not be overlooked
