I was looking for a decent place to stay for 2 nights on my way to the Florida keys that wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg. This place was a real surprise. I could not have been happier with the room, staff, location, breakfast and price of the junior King room. I used to stay strictly at Hampton but they have out priced themselves. I highly recommend this hotel!
