The place was clean but I stayed Monday and Tuesday and all I wanted was some ac, a bed and fresh air because I had been working in flood damage all day. The ac was making a noise so bad I couldn't sleep and slept with a pillow over me head. I did not call that night and say anything because I knew the place was booked full. I asked the next morning to have it fixed, nicely. At 5:56pm they called still not fixed but HVAC guy on property and wanted to go in the room during the evening, I said perfect. I called at 8:03pm to see if finished because I was on my way back, front desk didn't know. Finally made it back at 9pm and stopped at the front desk and asked if it had been fixed, she didn't know but her dinner had just been delivered as I was walking out the door. So that was a priority. Got to room not fixed, slept the same way last night. Told front desk again this morning when leaving because someone I am sure is staying in it this evening. Front desk was too busy opening a package of swizzle straws/sticks(?) or something to take me seriously. I can guarantee I won't be back I'll sleep in my vehicle next time. Ridiculous...

Went to check in and the hotel had no power, making it impossible to check-in. Watched them refund other guests, and when I requested the same, they said I just needed Expedia to reach out to them and they would confirm it. However, when Expedia followed up on my behalf, the hotel refused to issue the refund. Now, they're avoiding my calls and texts and wont even speak with me. This is completely unprofessional. Save yourself the hassle and book elsewhere!

Old world Florida establishment updated with a cool 50/60's vibe. Very good value for the rate charged. And the Bahi Hut is right next door.

Stays are generally good. Power was out after the hurricane passed by so i couldn't stay in the unit Thursday night. Came by Friday to return keys and asked about a possible discount with a future stay. Was told no. Not a big deal, but the absolute reply bothered me a little. To each their own though. Beds are soft and the pool is nice. Will return.

We were here for Hurricane. Such an adorable hotel. We would have stayed longer but power was out due to Hurricane Helene. The staff was great. Highly recommend it as a uniquely retro option instead of your typical hotel. Loved it!
