Great spot to stay in that’s affordable. There is a shuttle that drops you off near the downtown area which makes it very convenient and you don’t have to worry about parking. Pet area looks well maintained and the exterior of the buildings were very cute. Would stay here again and would recommend to others.

At 7 am Sunday morning, they started roof repairs over our room, drilling, hammering, strong noises. This was my last stay at this place.

If you have a two part bathroom sink in one part and toilet and shower in the other part you need a place to put bath towels in shower area. As you turn off shower and standing there naked and no towel to dry off on.

I have stayed here several times because it is close to the Flagler College campus. The rooms are generally comfortable and quiet, though mine had an odd odor coming from the air conditioner this time. The staff is nice and the free breakfast is pretty good. I just wish there weren't so many fees in the bill.

The property was extremely quiet making for a wonderful overnight stay. The hotel is the most dog friendly hotel I have stayed in providing amenities for the pup that may be forgotten along with ample outside areas for them to stretch their legs. While a distance from downtown area, the shuttle is very convenient even allowing the pup to ride along into the city center.
