Setting expectations, this is a motel: enjoy it as a well-preserved classic 40s/50s roadside motel. What's incredibly special is the location (on the Bridge of Lions, it's a 10 minute walk into the tourist strip), the view (the back deck IS the intracoastal waterway), and the breakfast (fresh-cooked full hot breakfast plus a continental spread). We watched an amazing range of birds, and even spotted dolphins one morning. I was working full-time while hubby was sightseeing: the wifi managed and the hotel staff couldn't have been nicer, but this isn't set up as a business hotel. Working in a rocking chair while pelicans and egrets fly in front of you in the afternoon sunshine is worth dealing with some gaps in the wifi signal. We met couples there who had been back multiple times, and one fellow who said his parents honeymooned here in the 50s. We hope to be back!
