I had a decent stay at the hotel overall. The location was excellent, offering beautiful views over the canal, and the rooms were nice, clean, and comfortable. However, there were some drawbacks like the poor service experience and the breakfast options being limited to grab-and-go bags, which I found disappointing. While I appreciated the friendly staff in some areas, the rudeness of the maintenance manager really stood out as a negative aspect of my visit.

The hotel has a great location near Sombrero Beach and offers clean rooms, but I had issues with the strong disinfectant smell in my room, which was quite bothersome. The service from the manager was outstanding, helping my husband with our trailer. However, the facilities, particularly the bicycles, could use some maintenance to be more enjoyable. Overall, it felt like it offered decent value for the price, though the rooms definitely need updating.
