When we arrived we were assigned a room that had a very moldy smell. They swapped us to a room that had very loud guest. Note, All rooms had an adjoining room with a locked door between them. The neighbors were up and loud until 11 pm, then they awoke us at 6 am screaming at each other. And lastly gnats in the room, in the hallway and in the dining area.

Room was a nice size, everything was clean and the breakfast was good! AC in the room was pretty loud, but kept the room cold. Front desk had another room ready for me if the unit was too loud for the night. Stayed here for two nights while family stayed on Anna Maria Island! Easy drive to the beach, will definitely stay again. Nothing negative about the hotel at all.

No idea why there are bad ratings. I had a beautiful room that was probably remodeled. I thought the entire place looked amazing. Not the best location in terms of finding it, but close to restaurants.
