Vacations Close To Big Cypress National Preserve

Just okay accommodation in a desirable convenient location. Nice walkable neighborhood with plenty of yummy eateries while only 2 blocks away from the busy public beach. The refreshing pool and on street parking for $10daily made our stay worthwhile. Room was spacious, clean and yes dated as other reviewers state. I love old florida inns but unfortunately our room was tired! Water damage was apparent everywhere from the rotting window sills to the furniture. So many little things could have been improved simply with a quick trip to Home Depot - tile caulk, microwave light bulb, new toilet seat, shower head. The AC unit in the bedroom turned on and off when turning the tv on so not real sure about the wiring. Unfortunately the smoking area for the property was outside next to our living rrom AC so we often had to turn the unit off. Again, too many little unpleasant issues and items lacking for us to return.

There was a lot of very early morning noise in the halls, but other than that, there was very little to complain about! We plan to stay here again if we come back in the future!

Beach and pool are beautiful. If the weather is good you’ll have a good time. If it rains, there is not much to do for kids, only downfall

Loved our stay here! Great for families & amazing staff!

Clearly in booking this hotel I was not expecting perfection but more a funky older art deco vibe. The room looked MUCH better in photos vs. real life, Yes, it's updated, but the work is of poor quality and not well maintained. For example layers of caulk poorly applied and piled up on the sink area, floor tile work in the bathroom that looked DIY vs. professional, constant water dripping from the AC vent creating a constant puddle on the floor. The musty humidity in the hallway left a constant mildew smell in the air and the mattress seemed like a $99 thrift store buy. Most upsetting was the non-caring staff. I am constantly surprised at the number of people who work in hospitality that are not hospitable. They all work here. I originally arrived before check in time and was told to come back at 4. I am fine with that. When I did return at 4pm, I was told my room was not ready and to come back. I was hot, sweaty, over dressed for Miami and had already walked around 2 hours to burn time so I opted to wait in the lobby while they made the room ready. They offered no apology, no accomodation, no water, cocktail, etc while I waited the additional hour and a half 14 feet from them in their line of sight. Things happen, but how you address them make all the difference when in hospitality, It was a bad start and set the tone for the stay. Location was great, Service non existent, I wouldn't go back.

Everything was awesome
