The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. They took $150 security deposit but returned it quickly, which was a relief. It is in a busy area so it’s not real quiet, but it is very comfortable. We recommend it for a quick stop over.

For a nights stay within this price range I give it a 9 out of 10. The only disappointment was the mattress. Not very comfortable. Overall I would definitely stay here again.

They are doing an excellent job! It’s obvious that they are rebuilding after the hurricane. But our room was better than the pictures. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant, comfortable and clean. Close to Hamel Park and restaurants. Everything is brand new inside the rooms, roomy, comfy bed and big TV mounted on the wall. Air conditioner is quiet and has a continuous fan. Kurig coffee machines in the room but no breakfast. It’s a great choice and reasonable price.
