Es war auf den ersten blick schön aber beim genauen hinsehen dreckig und nicht freundlich. Auch betreff Frühstück kamen wir auf keine Lösung mit den Mitarbeitern.

For a spot right outside the keys it is great. Easy to get on US 1 to head to keys. Easy to get to the Everglades park. Easy to get back to town for restaurants etc
The beds are comfortable... I don't like hotel pillow but if you use both they are ok.
The breakfast is good.

Good location for island hopping the Keys. Breakfast area was overly crowded and food items were frequently out of stock. Our room had plumbing issues, as both the toilet and shower drain were backed up.

Wir waren hier 2 Tage um schnell in den everglades zu sein.
Die Zimmer sind ganz okay. Klimaanlage viel zu laut und geht ständig aus. Fenster kann man nicht aufmachen und teilweise dreckige Böden.
Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls ganz okay. Sehr überfüllt und teilweise lange Wartezeiten. Kein Obst und Gemüse - Kaffee aber lecker.
Positiv ist, dass das Hotel sehr nahe an den everglades und 5 min von einem Walmart entfernt ist.

We had a great stay. Hotel staff was very accommodating. Allowed us to stay an extra hour as we checked in quite late the previous day. Clean bathroom and room. Amazing breakfast.
Special mention - Reginald Henry- staff present at the breakfast area. Very kind and thoughtful.
