Best for
This hotel suits road trippers and highway travelers thanks to its position between I-95 and the Florida Turnpike, as well as families traveling together since kids 19 and under stay free with an adult. It also works well for business travelers needing a business center and fitness facilities, and for visitors to Indian River State College or those flying through St. Lucie County International Airport.
Travel tips
Given its location between two major highways, a car is the most practical way to reach area attractions, many of which sit 7 to 17 miles away. Travelers heading to or from a cruise departure (as some guests mention when passing through toward Miami) may find this a convenient overnight stopover. Free large-vehicle parking makes it a suitable stop for those towing trailers or driving RVs.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and describe the customer service as making them feel at home, even in unexpected situations like last-minute stays. Cleanliness is a recurring positive theme, with reviewers noting tidy rooms, comfortable beds, quality towels, and amenities like blackout shades and good bathroom lighting. The complimentary breakfast is repeatedly singled out as a strong point of the stay. One recurring complaint involves housekeeping staff using cell phones and not servicing occupied rooms, suggesting some inconsistency in daily room service.
