This is a typical motel: simple and clean, with friendly staff. The location is great, right by the River Walk, a few blocks from the Boardwalk in one direction and from Downtown in the other direction. The one problem was hot water: there was hot water in the afternoon when we checked in, but no hot water in the evening, and still no hot water in the morning when we left (we only stayed one night). Other than the hot water issue this was a great stay -- but hot water is important; I hope it gets fixed soon.
