Solid midscale hotel and a great value for the price. Not fancy, but very clean and comfortable. Free parking and internet were included and worked well. Rooms were well maintained and quiet. Around $100 per night, it’s hard to beat for a reliable, no-frills stay.

This is a basic hotel that was clean and comfortable during my stay. The room was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and Wi-Fi worked without issues. It’s not a fancy property, but it was well maintained and met expectations for the price, which was around $120 per night. For Boca Raton this was a solid deal!

Communication was great, the staff was very friendly, and the room was clean and had everything I needed. The property is a two minute walk from the beach and the pool was a great place to hang out in the evening. I will definitely be back!

I found this place at the last minute, and boy was I in for a surprise. if you’re looking for a place to stay with your standards looking at the pictures on the website or higher you’re in for a treat this place is despicable inside it’s no better looking then the parking lot when you pull up.The whole entire stay was terrible, the safety lock was broken on the doors. The chair in the room look like you could catch a staff infection looking at it. The bathroom fixtures had mold around it. We fear for our safety. We had to use that same staff infection chair to put against the door so we can feel safe and the top it off my neighbor cried the whole night like she was having withdrawals. The police was called shine their lights seems like forever I checked out at 4 AM. Could not take it any longer if your looking for a place to stay please let this spot not be a choice for you.
