Worth knowing

Some guests felt the location had been described as closer to the action than it is, so plan on driving or taking a cab to Duval Street. Reviewers also mention extra fees and a limited breakfast. Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. It suits drivers and pet owners who want resort facilities at a calmer address.
