The hotel is an older hotel but has been renovated. We walked to the historic district/ fort area every day. Several restaurants are in walking distance as well. The Fountain of Youth is directly behind the hotel, and the old Town Trolley picks up at the hotel which was a huge plus!

Good stay, great location
This is our second time here and I love the location. This stay was a bit disappointing though. The breakfast was ok, my son wouldn’t eat any of it, they didn’t offer much of a selection. The towels were needing some updating as my shower towel felt like sandpaper. The floors were dirty, we had white socks and were walking around the room and they were nasty dirty. I will stay here again, just hope they do some updating and train their housekeepers better.
