Perfect location, professional staff, secure entry and housing, walk to local restaurants and bars, far enough removed from the street to sleep peacefully- Will Do Over!
My husband and I stayed at this property for our wedding anniversary and had such a great time. Everything was clean, as stated, and was very cute! The location was really the highlight of this place! Best location on Duval and near everything! You cannot beat the location for this place!
Great location, we know the area well and were concerned about noise, but it was minimal.

Great place to stay with a very professional staff. Would highly recommend....very satisfied
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and a great location to see one end of the Keys to the other. We walked everywhere. The only issue we had was parking but management helped us with that. The management was great and went above and beyond.

Reviewer Comments:
Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location right on Duvall was excellent and surprisingly very quiet once in the room. The free transportation was an added benefit and very easy to work with. They accommodated early check in and late check out and took care of our luggage. Will stay again!
Fridge is a wine fridge need to keep that in mind. Place is great for a small group or couple anything larger than 4 people would need more than one room to be comfy. Was excellent. I would stay here Gain. It's right near everything walking distance , no parking on site but there is a parking lot just a few blocks away in a couple directions
With this property, it is in the heart of downtown, which made playing on Duval very easy. Keep in mind with that, there is a lot of downtown noise, bars, music, etc. The property itself is basically a hotel room/suite. There is a small refrigerator, Keurig, coffee maker, Two hairdryers, and that’s it. We were disappointed and did not pay attention to the listing that this property did not include even a microwave.
