Front desk staff very friendly. Accommodated our request for a lower level room. Restaurant/tiki bar area just wonderful. Able to see manatees right by the tiki bar!! Food was very good. Only downside, rooms are very very old. Major need of updating. However, they are doing construction on 2 new buildings, so i would not hold it against them. Super location!!
Right off side of tiki bar/restaurant, next to my table!!

The Hotel is dated, but it was rather nice and it was very clean for it's age. The staff was exceptional and always went out of their way to ensure you had what you wanted. The views are very nice of Kings Bay and the water front social made dinning and enjoying whatever you liked to drink special. Yes they are constructing a new hotel the sounds won't interrupt your stay. We are planning on going back to this Hotel prior to it being closed for good and it's not because Elvis stayed on the property in 1964, but because this has history and the atmosphere was really great locals and staff made it a nice place to stay. We looked at the owners other properties and yes they are very nice but taking a trip back in time was also nice, I laughed every time I opened the door because they actually use a key. I highly recommend location and this place has it. Enjoy and remember the staff is great
