From reserving the room thorough checkout, front desk and hotel supporting staff were wonderful. About 20 minutes from Jax Beach and Pier. Lots of places to eat 2 miles out and closer. I'll definitely stay again if in the area. I almost forgot. The main reason for staying there is they are pet friendly. Plenty of walking area and a lake/pond behind the hotel with easy access from within the hotel. Great place!

Going away Fast

I’ve stayed here multiple times over the past year and am still pleased with service and cleanliness. However as of late there has been a decline in the atmosphere of the hotel. There has in my view been a decline in patronage screening which has added to drug users hanging around.

Sad they didn’t have a breakfast dining for the morning other than that everything was good. There were a few female entertainers with a male but I mean it’s a hotel that will happen anywhere. Other than that the staff is as nice and room was clean and definitely will go back.
