    The price was $178 per night for two nights; then, I had to cancel the first night, which became $329 for one night. The walls are too thin. People next door talk and smoke until 2 a.m., so we did not sleep much.

    great venue and pool, staff were very accommodating

    A Saffire in the Rough

    Overall we enjoyed our stay! Our only suggestion is that the main doors to the building automatically lock behind you.

    When we first booked our stay, we were a bit skeptical. However, our early arrival led to a pleasant surprise with a cute lobby, with friendly staff, hot coffee, and snacks. Parking was conveniently appointed, and although there’s no elevator to the second floor, we were grateful we hadn’t packed for a week (request the first floor if necessary). The hallways featured an interesting pattern, and the blue saffire rooms offered a cozy atmosphere. The bathrooms, while a bit dated in powder blue blue or beige, were very clean and well-maintained. Each room came equipped with a small fridge/freezer combo, and the cable provided uninterrupted access to the football game. The desk was also useful for any last minute work-related issues. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the rooms were notably quiet. Additionally, the location is excellent, with easy access to town and the Riverwalk. You can stroll to the main street or the aquarium and easily take an Uber back to the hotel after dinner. Overall, it was a great value for the money.

    My room was clean. But a few issues that would make me think twice about staying again due to no hot water limited sugar

    No hot water. Could not take a shower before going to a wedding. Breakfast had little choice if you were not into sugary things. Also no decaf tea or coffee. Also the pillows were like hard rocks and were impossible to sleep on one as it was so big and hard my head was way too elevated

    Good location. Well kept. Nice staff

    For what it was? Nothing. I go what I expected from the pictures and the price.

    Let’s call it like it is. These are not first class accommodations! I was looking for the least expensive option in a place that was relatively clean and quiet. I was able to check all three boxes with this stay. Mission accomplished and I would book again.

    The white lights everywhere wasn’t adding any value to the property. I feel like just switching to soft warm lights and adding a few plants and paintings would make the hallways look so nice

    The location was a little noisy - nothing the hotel can do about that. The light from the TV box bounced off the TV and glowed - that was a bit intrusive.

    The front of house staff were very helpful

    The shower could use an update and the caulking could use some attention to it. The walls are a little thin so you can hear people talking next door or across the hall unless the are close to a whisper.

    The location was great. The breakfast choice was coffee or tea with bananas and croissants or muffins. The staff were great and the pool was really clean and nice. The hallways were clean and reminiscent of hotels like Holiday Inn. Wi-Fi was excellent and the air conditioner worked well.

    The first night we didn't have any hot water, when I told the front desk he said "oops we never told you?" He promised that it would be fixed that day and it was. I asked for more toilet paper which he was going to hand to me but we were going out for the day so he asked if we wanted the room serviced and I said yes. They did everything, except give us more toilet paper.

    we didn't eat at the hotel
