We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again! It’s conveniently located (directly across from the Island) which makes it easy to walk or drive to many places along the strip. The drink and breakfast options were great. We loved the retro style as well. The staff was very friendly and super helpful. Highly recommend staying here!

I loved the location! It was so easy to walk to many of the places I wanted to try. I even had the chance to walk to Publix (7 mins) when I needed something. The room was cleaned just enough to sleep comfortably in. The shower was pretty dirty with hair and stains from previous guests. I did have to clean the shower before using it. It was also poorly swept and mopped throughout the room. Breakfast was super good. I would refrain from sitting outside, because we were forgotten about one day of our stay and decided to leave. It did give us the opportunity to try a local breakfast spot though! The waiter we had on our first day was fantastic. Pool was great! Service was great (excusing the one day at breakfast)!

It’s a very old property and they’ve tried very hard to cover it with paint and decor but it’s still for me just old . Also , our door didn’t fit. Like at night there was a big strip of light shining thru . So any bug , spider etc could crawl right thru !

Amazing find on the strip!

Loved this place!! In the middle of everything it had so many great little details ~ we hit the theme parks and then the pool Saturday night cocktails w/virgin strawberry daiquiris for the children along with the DJ knocked it out out of the park. A huge hit with the whole family! The rooms are great, very comfortable and had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t! I would definitely tell people to pick this hotel and we will absolutely be back for another visit!
