Great stay, the beds were really comfortable, it was clean and the rooms are spacious. Everything we were hoping for! The mini fridge has an integrated freezer. Perfect for icing the icepacks or a small ice cream. The breakfast buffet was complete and delicious. I have to mention the service which was way beyond our expectations. Upon arrival our room and cards were ready, we had a warm welcome from the front desk agent. During the while stay they made sure we had everything we needed. Such a kind, positive and caring human. We’d stay again for sure!

Parking area was small but safe. Everything was very clean and customer service was exemplary. When our key card didn't work the gentleman at the front desk insisted on trying the new one himself to we didn't have to come down again if it didn't work. We will always stay here when we travel to Florida.
