Chose to stay here as we were coming to swim with the manatees and they had a company on site so we also chose to use them.
The newly renovated rooms were nice.
We had a little problem with our first room and they happily moved us.
There are restaurants very close by also

CONS: We were very disappointed to not have the hot tub available. Coffee shop was closed. (Both were a reason for booking)
PROS: Staff were all SO NICE. Great location near waterand walkable to so much...
Room was very nice and clean. Area was easy in and out. Main desk service was very slow, phone rings and goes to reservation answering machine. This was not helpful at all. Garbage trucks going by in the morning, very loud.
Nothing. It has had the jacuzzi tub down since the hurricane since October and not one person mentioned it. That is why I booked it. The internet was sooo slow I couldn't use it. I e-mailed multiple times to see if it was pet friendly but never got an answer. The phone number on google is disconnected so I could not call. There is construction and boat loading in the parking lot where I parked. No breakfast is served like before. It's walk to the office for a brown bag. Never stay her again,. I'll pass the word on to my fellow boater how bad it was
Great location and price. It was our second stay to float the Spring and find manatees. Hotel lobby was clean, welcoming, and provided lots of information and activities about the town. We stayed in the room with a kitchenette. The beds were uncomfortable and noisy and the kitchenette is not fully stocked with basics for cooking and cleaning. Hot tub was not working.
Spent two nights. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Too cool to swim but there was a pool available. Lots of dining options close by. No real breakfast, just a grab bag with water, granola bar and orange. Coffee was available at the office.

Stood in line almost 20 minutes to check in, no apology. No one at front desk this morning, out of coffee. Microwave about to fall out in room.
Great place overall, particularly the location. They were recovering from the hurricane but still had everything in good order. The "breakfast" was just a paper bag with a granola bar and a mini muffin. We didn't catch that the beds were full size instead of queens- a bit small for 4 of us but we probably just missed that when booking. Overall this was a great deal.

Hot tub not functioning. Early morning construction crew loud noises.
Loved how it was on the water with a wonderful outdoor patio area!
The only thing I did not like, was having to climb stairs to our room with our luggage and other stuff. A bit tough for seniors.
