The courtyard, pool area, and staff were all very nice. Our room desperately needed an update, primarily the bathroom. I didn't expect to see as much rust and mildew in our bathroom for a hotel that is rated excellent, very disappointing. There was also tile missing in our bathroom, and the hot water was limited. We were on the bottom floor and could hear EVERYTHING in the room above us.
We were so looking forward to our trip to Anna Maria island but if this is what $165 provides, and still several blocks from the beach, we will look for another island next year with more appropriate reviews for the true quality of the room. It was very disappointing, not at all excellent.
