Clean, seems newley renovated with modern rooms. Convenient to restaurants, the small quaint, hallmark style town. Friendly service with a beautiful lobby. I'll be back!

Needs better way to block out parking lot lights at night. The Bahama blinds look nice but let in too much light. Otherwise nice room.

It was absolutely what I expected it to be. A very tidy room with 2 double beds
2.5 / 5.0
The staff could not have been friendlier. I wish I’d known about all the construction surrounding the pool and hot tub. It felt like I had an audience when trying to lay out (not the most comfortable situation for a woman alone).
I will recommend staying here to our family when they come into town from now on.

A welcome room and location after a long day of travel. Arrived at night, so didn’t get to see the beautiful view of the water until daytime. Everything was clean, attractive and comfortable.

The customer service was impeccable. All of the ladies were so friendly and engaging. The hotel was so nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. The cafe had excellent coffee and customer service. And loved the manatee theme throughout. Great location on the water, too. We stopped here for a one night stay on a road trip and now plan to return for a longer stay, and a kayak tour! Highly recommend Paddletail!

Hotel is very clean, beds are comfortable, area is safe. My only complaint is my wife didn’t sleep well as walls are thin. She has great hearing & could hear all the families around & above us. Staff was very courteous & accommodating.

It is a very nice place. Very clean right near the Gulf water with special stay packages like manatee tours, scalloping, kayak adventures staff is great very helpful and friendly,we had a couple of small things like the room we got didn't have a bathtub as advertised so they moved us right away to another room but after a short while the TV stopped working and again they moved us to yet another room. We stayed another night at a discounted rate and the rest of our stay was pleasant. Coffee and breakfast pastries are excellent as well at the little breakfast store inside the office area

Reserved a room with a king-sized bed. After checking in, I hauled our luggage up to the room (2nd floor and no elevator) just to find out it was a room with two double beds. Had to haul the luggage back down, go back to the front desk and finally was able to get a king-sized room (handicapped). Beds were not comfortable to me but everyone has their own taste.
Went to the coffee shop, in the morning, for a donut and coffee. Coffee was not good and donut was definitely not fresh.
Property was very clean and in a fantastic location!

Padddletail staff we're friendly and helpful. Stacy had to be bothered several times with our needs when we first checked in . She was gracious and willing to accommodate. The place was pretty and set up nicely.

I must say in all my travels I have never stayed in a place that was so friendly. Everything was excellent except the bathroom was too small for a larger person.
2.0 / 5.0
the stay was nice but it would have been nice to be warned of the construction going on right outside our room. Luckily we are not late sleepers because the noise from the crew while not extremely loud was noticeable.
2.5 / 5.0
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was a little uncomfortable but not something that kept us from getting a good rest. We are very happy with our experience!

Wonderful staff. The place looks really nice after the renovation we were here just before the brand change. The staff and hotel did an excellent job considering the hurricane and what it did to their homes, one who mentioned she lost hers permanently, still she was friendly and helpful for checkin.
2.5 / 5.0
I chose this for the direct access to the water. The front desk people were extra pleasant on each occasion I met with them. I have no complaints about the room. The restaurant next door, Cracker's, has the best New England Clam Chowder I have found in Florida. I would stay again. I also took the sunset cruise associated with the hotel and it was nice.

Room felt cold and uninviting smelt musty .
There is no breakfast offered but the coffee/ donut shop they have didn’t have donuts, when asked do you have any donuts or pastries they looked confused and said oh not at the moment, 9am in the morning.

We loved it so much we stayed an extra day ! Staff were all excellent and really friendly. Grounds need some work and they are constructing another building but it’s all contained. Enjoyed watching the comings and goings on the dock. Walked to Crackers next door for dinner. Great coffee shop in lobby.

Overall, the stay was wonderful! Very convenient to restaurants and shopping. The on site boat ramp was very convenient to launch boats and jet skis. Rooms were clean and well kept. The only negative was that the bed was uncomfortable. Would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room. The coffee shop in the office lobby was out of everything from blueberry muffins to flavored syrups. We would definitely stay here again!

It was a nice room, but they were working on the roof or something. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staff was friendly and very accommodating. They did a nice job renovating it from Best Western. The location was great. There was good food nearby, and we could put our kayaks in the water right from the property.
5.0 / 5.0
The lodging was perfect for us: on the water, cool pool with great view, boat ramp, and a choice of good restaurants that had gluten free options. Reasonably priced, and the staff could not be nicer, from the front desk to the coffee shop to those who clean and maintain the property. Everything was very clean, which is the most important thing to me. We are definitely returning.

Older property, but well kept. Our room was clean and location is great! Love the docks and restaurants close by. Wish there was a small breakfast, but Mc Donald’s was just up the road. I’ll stay there again.
