Varför människor älskar det
- Freshly renovated (Sept 2025) rooms feel crisp and modern
- Rare indoor pool—a savior during Florida's random thunderstorms
- Full kitchens in every suite save you money on dining out
Snabb Överblick: A spotless, practical business hotel that nails the basics but forces you to play 'musical cars' with its awkward check-in parking situation.
Recenserat av @cynthia_wfg: I felt like a total queen in this suite! The city lights at night gave me such main character energy, and having a full kitchen plus a huge mirror made getting ready for my night out so much fun. Honestly, for the price, the space is unbeatable.

The 'soundproof' walls are a myth—bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper, as street noise and hallway chatter bleed through.
- You need a full kitchen for an extended stay
- You're attending an event at the Dr. Phillips Center or Kia Center (both <1 mile away)
- You prefer a crisp, modern aesthetic over old-school carpeted hotels
