Good choice
Older building our tub shower had a really weird design had to climb literally into it balmy very nice. Pretty small room service is good. Staff is good. Breakfast is very simple courteous quick tasty. This is a good choice for the money. You can’t get much closer to the beach and it’s well maintained the family has Two right there in Boca grande and a third somewhere else. It’s well run safe clean. It’s a good choice. The AC works good. The TV works good. There’s plenty of hot water.
