This was a very family friendly place to stay. We loved that it had a pool, was in the water and had a cafe on site. They also offer bagged breakfasts which was really nice. The room was nicely decorated.

This place is a hidden gem. We were heading back from Miami, FL to Houston, TX and just stop for the night, but we want to come back to enjoy all the Manaties tours and all other locals offers. Staff are kind and welcoming. We loved the pool area and the docks and boats at the river, it’s an amazing view, Cracker’s bar & Grill next door is a plus with live music.

This property was very nice. It was in a great location. The new Tiki Bar and the pool area are a great addition and the water adventures building will be fabulous when it is complete. This was an older hotel but they have kept it nice. I would suggest sprucing up the bathrooms and upgrading to queen beds instead of full. The staff at every part of this facility was wonderful. They were all very friendly and willing to assist in any way that they could.
