See you again soon, Sun Idkand Motel
What a charming motel! The courtyard pool is surrounded by comfy couches. The room comes with a kitchenette so stop by Publix on the way to stock the mini fridge. Don’t forget cream cheese because there is a toaster! We had the room next to the office so we did not hear road sounds but bring a white noise machine, ear buds or a partner with a sleep apnea machine! No ice machine and the mini fridge was no help at making ice so be aware. No movie channels, but don’t we have them on our phones? Again, earbuds are the BEST! I can’t wait to bring friends to this motel! Thank you Sun Island. Btw the bin to put pool towels in is missing.

This is my second stay here. And we loved it before . But this time there was something wrong with the TV. The settings were all messed up and it was almost pitch black , we corrected this. There were two quarter sized pixelated black marks on the tv. Then when we were trying to go to sleep the tv would turn back on at the highest volume every 5 minutes. It was really disturbing and made it hard to sleep

Room was clean and service was helpful - they replaced our body wash and brought extra pillows I requested due to pregnancy. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was barely working and resulted in VERY hot sleeping conditions.

After driving for 17 hours, we arrived at the property. Rented the room with one king bed and futon since we had three (3) people. Walked into room at 9pm to a broken futon leaving one person with no place to sleep. Since there is no one on site, I called both numbers and emailed twice. NEVER RECEIVED A CALL OR EMAIL. We had to get creative and use an ironing board to hold up the futon and pick the lightest person to sleep on broken futon. IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE ON SITE, YOU NEED PEOPLE THAT WILL RESPOND TO THOSE PAYING FOR A ROOM. Although room was clean, I will not be staying there again and risk something going wrong and having no one that communicates.

You would be better off sleeping in a tent.
This is the first time I have ever left a hotel stay early. I do not know how this property could have any excellent reviews, it provides neither safety, shelter or hospitality. It is an old style Florida hotel that has not been updated. The windows are glass slats with busted mesh screens and provide no insulation. This doesn't seem like a big problem at first (besides the bugs) until you hear someone talking outside and realize there is no insulation. Their voices echo straight into your room - along with the smoke from cigarettes and other things... There is no staff on property, so the partying outside went on until all hours of the night. We tried calling every number listed on the door of the office but no one answered or called us back from our voicemails - they still haven't. Hotels.com should not have this as an approved property. Spend the extra money and get yourself a better place for a stay in the area.
