Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve hotel guide. Independent hotel in Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Florida

"The room was clean and the breakfast was the best we have had in awhile considering we stay in a variety of hotels when we travel. The staff was very nice/friendly. I would recommend that the hotel have several more carts when people check-in as they only have 3. The only complaint is the A/C unit. Why would you put this unit in the bedroom in a closed door closet? Our unit was so loud and made a lot of noise, especially at night when we were sleeping. This is something to definitely address for all rooms and to upgrade/replace these units with something with less noise. We didn't get much sleep because of this unit keeping us up half the night. This definitely needs to be addressed."

"Good time"

"Clean room. Well furnished. Great view. Private balcony. Large room. Full, well equipped kitchen. I could live for months in this room. It was the nicest room I have ever stayed in. Staff was excellent fulfilling every one of my requests. "

"Great hotel for kids and adults "

"Check-in is pretty automated with the machines there. Didn’t have issues with parking when arriving before 5pm. Seemed more full after 11pm. I don’t eat the breakfast there, not many options. Tv doesn’t have many channels but it did have the options to change the input and being careful, I was able to access the hdmi so I could plug my laptop in to watch Netflix. Internet was slow but worked for streaming ok. There is a gas station and McDonalds within walking distance which is nice if you want a drink or snack. The desk chair in my room seemed rather worn out from previous guests not taking care of the furniture in the room and now it doesn’t roll very well. Overall, I love this place. I’ve stayed here probably 15x. "

"The room was clean, parking super easy and accessible. Not a fan of the breakfast but it’s Ok."

"Room as per Hampton standard. Very good breakfast. Staff friendly"

"Everything was terrific from the beautiful rooms, 2 pools, excellent and helpful staff to the breakfast bar in the morning. There are shuttles by van and boat to the beaches abs other locations. The new Tigress restaurant and outdoor bar were a perfect way to end the day. "

"Excellent stay"
