Great spot for our Spring Training Trip
This is a well-maintained property with a lovely Tiki Bar and pool. We were there to see Spring Training Baseball at the Pirates site a few miles away. It was a great location for that.

Hidden Gem
The hotel exterior is under construction due to hurricane damage but that is superficial. The room was practically brand new inside and the amenities and common areas were well maintained.
