Clean, comfortable, short walk to beautiful beach
Our room was nicer than I expected, after reading several of the reviews. AC worked fine, shower water was cool, but weather was hot so we didn't mind. Hotel provides beach chairs, which we used and appreciated. Beach parking lots were packed, so we loved the location of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again--much cheaper than nearby alternatives.

The short walk to the beach was awesome. The property definitely needs some attention. Room was nice but could use updating. Lack of access to clean towels was unhandy.

Working in longboat key
Very sweet little motel the rooms are a little small, but still cozy. I had ants in my room during the day another coworker stayed there at a different time and have the same issue. Great location, though easy access to the beaches.

Location is excellent. Typical "beach" property that needs updating. The bed was a large, comfortable king size. The circuit breaker for the heater tripped off.
