This was a very pleasant surprise! Our plan was to go through Alligator Alley on our was to the Keys. We weren't sure about it when we booked it, but we were all pleased at how quaint and comfortable our stay was. It was very clean and quiet there. Small kitchen but enough if you were staying several days(full refrigerator, full stove&oven, sink& dishwasher, some dishes). They do have a gift shop but it's only t shirts&hats. The check-in area is easy to get thru and the persons at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. They pointed out varies places we could still get something to eat, because we arrived in the late afternoon. We did try Camila 's Street BBQ &Seafood Grill- what a delight(I'll have a review on Google-😊) The area around the hotel is a marina type surrounding, cool to look at. We usually stay on the southeast coast of Florida before going into the Keys, -- so glad we decided this time to go to the southwest coast. We will definitely come back for sure. ***Had pics, they've disappeared.
