It was perfect for our overnight stay and super convenient to what we came to town to do. It was a little noisy as our room was on the frontside of the property, which is in front of a busy roadway.

This hotel was very nice. The staff was great! The free breakfast was AMAZING! They had an assortment of bagels, croissants, cinnamon rolls, cereals and pancakes. There was something for everyone! My ONLY complaint was that for the entire hotel and staff there is only 1 elevator. The hotel is only 4 floors but we waited for over 5 minutes for it each way a few times during our stay. Everything else about this hotel is great and I recommend but if you don’t have patience for longer than usual elevator waits I would stay elsewhere.

Always the Best stay

Best night sleep I've had in 2 weeks. Coffee 24/7. Breakfast is more than adequate in the morning, excellent and much appreciated. Staff is so attentive and friendly. We come up from Cape Coral to Shands Hospital and will only stay here. Thank you so much Robin and Loretta
