This hotel was very nice. The staff was great! The free breakfast was AMAZING! They had an assortment of bagels, croissants, cinnamon rolls, cereals and pancakes. There was something for everyone! My ONLY complaint was that for the entire hotel and staff there is only 1 elevator. The hotel is only 4 floors but we waited for over 5 minutes for it each way a few times during our stay. Everything else about this hotel is great and I recommend but if you don’t have patience for longer than usual elevator waits I would stay elsewhere.

Always the Best stay

Best night sleep I've had in 2 weeks. Coffee 24/7. Breakfast is more than adequate in the morning, excellent and much appreciated. Staff is so attentive and friendly. We come up from Cape Coral to Shands Hospital and will only stay here. Thank you so much Robin and Loretta

We booked a suite for 1 night and there was enough space where 6 people didn’t feel crowded. I’ve never seen a pancake machine that cooked 2 perfectly cooked pancakes in 2 minutes. Great location. Ten minutes or so drive to the Cruise Port Parking.
