Good stay here, short walk to beach. When on siesta key there is a free tram that takes you to downtown and along to siesta key village. Breakfast was a bit of a let down only bread was bagels and took forever to toast. Some normal bread would be good. Room was nice and clean and the staff were friendly enough.

This is a repurposed La Quinta Inn. The rooms have been nicely redone. My room was smallish but comfortable. My primary complaint was the shower. Not quite enough pressure and the water stream vascillated from hot to cold requiring multiple adjustments during my showers.

Spend more and get mire

No coffee maker in room, no microwave in room, no safe in room. Breakfast was very limited with bagels, some fruit and toasters. My advice, spend a little more and find a better place.

Breakfast was stocked incomplete and inconsistent from day to day. Pool towels were too small. Tub drain was very slow. Hot tub jets didn’t work. Bed linens and blankets were shabby. Soap dispenser fell off shower wall in the middle of the night. Coffee after breakfast service was cold. Front desk staff was OK. Parking was ok. We felt safe on the property.
