Needs better way to block out parking lot lights at night. The Bahama blinds look nice but let in too much light. Otherwise nice room.

The staff could not have been friendlier. I wish I’d known about all the construction surrounding the pool and hot tub. It felt like I had an audience when trying to lay out (not the most comfortable situation for a woman alone). I will recommend staying here to our family when they come into town from now on.

Highly recommend!!
The customer service was impeccable. All of the ladies were so friendly and engaging. The hotel was so nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. The cafe had excellent coffee and customer service. And loved the manatee theme throughout. Great location on the water, too. We stopped here for a one night stay on a road trip and now plan to return for a longer stay, and a kayak tour! Highly recommend Paddletail!

Overnight stay
Hotel is very clean, beds are comfortable, area is safe. My only complaint is my wife didn’t sleep well as walls are thin. She has great hearing & could hear all the families around & above us. Staff was very courteous & accommodating.
