Unable to look out windows and there was no window pane, the noise level was bad and you could hear the next room conversation and traffic outside. There are lot of renovations going on at motel but location to Duval St was nice!

The room was beautifully done, clean and welcoming. The shower was fabulous! We were in a private spot in the back so it was something of a trek to the car. It was nice to have a quiet outside table & chairs. Once the renovations are done, it should be a really great place.

Nice big room. Great air conditioner... Great bed, sink, bathroom, and shower. And great location. Some of the lamp outlets/ USB ports didn't work. Whatever, not really an issue. Parking lot filled up quick but there was ample parking on the street (Sunday/Monday) Friendly guy at check-in. Excellent!
