NEGATIVES: There are many. This motel is done in the 1960s style in that the rooms are in a rectangular "horseshoe" shape and those rooms face the swimming pool.

Each hotel room is very old with little evidence of refurbishing in the past 10+ years.

The air conditioners are very old and noisy.

The rooms that face the pool have long windows with adequate drapes on them but a woman might feel odd when someone can walk by her full length windows albeit with curtains drawn.

The continental breakfast is stingy, inadequate and symbolic of the hotel's reputation.

The hotel is right next to the take off path of Stuart's increasingly busy airport though flights do seem to stop taking off at night.

Lastly, on one side of the pool is a bar. Though the bar closes at 10PM, the music and noise of the bar guests -- while not super loud --- is pretty offensive. The hotel obviously regards the bar as a good profit center but many who had to go to bed reasonably early resented this.


POSITIVES: The hotel has a relatively new manager who is a very seasoned and competent hotel manager. They are lucky to have her though they desperately need her.

Overall, the front desk staff is friendly and helpful.

The $65/night, high season price that I paid is reasonable for south Florida at that time of year.

I booked 3 rooms for my family to stay during a funeral. We found the hotel to be very affordable, all of us had king size beds, working tvs and bathrooms and A/C's. It's not a 5 star hotel, but for coming back and sleeping and hanging out in it was just fine. All of us are in our 30's and 1 couple had an infant. Very satisfied!!

We stayed for our honeymoon after a few days in Palm Beach Gardens and South Beach. This hotel was the BEST! The hotel has been recently remodeled, the front desk staff were friendly and informative, our room was fantastic-clean and fresh! The Manager was the best we've ever experienced in South Florida! Audrey (Manager) and staff went above and beyond our expectations, and above any of the other hotels during our honeymoon. We have never been so pleased! The pool was clean and relaxing. The tiki bar was enjoyable and room service is terrific and prompt! You couldn't ask for a better breakfast at the hotel-waffles made for you and a nice selection of foods! Audrey and staff asked us every day how our stay was - they seemed to genuinely care! Oh, we had an in-room jacuzzi which was so relaxing. YOU CANNOT FIND A BETTER PLACE TO STAY IN SOUTH FLORIDA, especially with room service and in-room jacuzzi. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone to stay at this hotel - you will not be disappointed. We were so pleased, we stayed an extra night (5 nights total).

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful and the hotel itself is lovely. We requested a suite and were very please with the bedroom and bathroom - very clean, comfortable and had everything you need plus extra luxuries. The breakfast the following morning was a perfect way to start our anniversary. Very GOOD waffles!!!
