Descriptive Property Review
Reviewed by Wilma C. of Strongsville of OH USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 This hotel is a quaint "Old Florida" style hotel and is a good value for your money. Close to St. Armands Circle shopping and dining and at a price you can afford. My only improvement would be the rooms are showing some wear and need updating but are charming. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice quiet place for a family to relax!
Pros:	Location
Cons:	rooms need remodeling
Recommended For:	Families Seniors Couples Singles

Reviewed by Todd S. of Des Moines of IA USA on Mar-2007 Stayed at the Property - Mar-2007 I hesitate to write this review - don't want to let the world know what a hidden treasure this hotel is. Great location, extremely helpful staff, good food, great location. Not a college spring break clientel, but rather families and older couples. Only minor complaint is the bathroom, they are small, but we survived just fine with 5 (4 girls and dad) sharing the bathroom. Book it with confidence.
