"We spent two nights in the Florida Room and loved it! It was very quiet while we were here, everything was clean, and the location is excellent. We enjoyed walking our dog over to Depot Park, and also being able to walk to places downtown. Communication was also beyond great. Our only suggestion would be that anyone who’s a sensitive sleeper bring a sleep mask because there are no curtains and the room becomes very bright in the morning. Great stay! :)"
