Good for an extended stay
The room was very comfortable and perfect for the type of stay that I had. Having laundry service available was very handy. However, the parking lot had a lot of garbage in it, and the lobby itself was very small and not very welcoming. But the room was perfect for my needs.

From reserving the room thorough checkout, front desk and hotel supporting staff were wonderful. About 20 minutes from Jax Beach and Pier. Lots of places to eat 2 miles out and closer. I'll definitely stay again if in the area. I almost forgot. The main reason for staying there is they are pet friendly. Plenty of walking area and a lake/pond behind the hotel with easy access from within the hotel. Great place!

Going away Fast
I’ve stayed here multiple times over the past year and am still pleased with service and cleanliness. However as of late there has been a decline in the atmosphere of the hotel. There has in my view been a decline in patronage screening which has added to drug users hanging around.

Nice room, staff a bit aggressive. All guests should be treated like guests, not everyone is living there and knows hotel rules. Needed new towels, upon request was asked wheere are dirty towels. After returning to front desk, was then asked to bring towels 2 doors down.

The staff were very accommodating and the room was a nice suite with a full size refrigerator. I stayed here for a week recuperating from a surgery and I had everything I needed for a comfortable and quiet stay.

Sad they didn’t have a breakfast dining for the morning other than that everything was good. There were a few female entertainers with a male but I mean it’s a hotel that will happen anywhere. Other than that the staff is as nice and room was clean and definitely will go back.

Very quiet stay. Ice maker only made ice once in a 12 hour period. If you intend on staying for a while, you need dish cloths and dish detergent.

The layout was nice in the room but the wash cloths had some nasty spots, bed was very loud when you'd move around, rusty metal on light that overhangs bathroom sink, looked like some kind of leak by the window trim next to door entries of bathroom and front door as well.
