A group of 11 of us stayed at the Princess Ann Apartments in November for a long weekend. We found the hotel to be clean and adequate. The owners were friendly and most helpful in providing additional towels, kitchen utensils (okay, it was a corkscrew for the wine) and anything else we needed. We enjoyed the pool and spent some time lounging on the pool deck.

I think you need realistic expectations, based heavily on what you are paying. The Sheraton is down the street, but you'll pay a lot more to be there. I rated our stay above average. I don't want to discourage anyone, I think BASED ON THE PRICE and the AGE of the facility, our overall experience was above average. Clearly, if you want to stay at a 4 or 5 star hotel, you'll never believe that the Princess Ann apartments were above average.

The previous review said something about the third floor and breakfast. The hotel is only two stories and I never paid for, saw any reference to or heard about breakfast. There are restaurants down the street and a bloody mary or mimosa is only a short walk around the corner.

TV??? Remote controls?? Do you really travel to South Florida to watch TV. Give me a break.... Yes, there was a TV in the room - it was functional and the remote worked fine, assuming you want to spend your vacation watching tv.

There were many restaurants and fun nightlife a short walk from the hotel. For a dollar, you could take the bus anywhere and there are plenty of cabs. The Elbo Room is south and there is fun Irish pub to the north. The beach is a short walk east.

Eleven of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Ask yourself what your expectations are before you complain!! If you need an ice machine instead of an ice cube tray in the freezer and a vending machine that sells toothbrushes, you need to stay elsewhere. There is a 7-11 a short walk away, just in case you need to buy that toothbrush.

We would return next week if we could. At the price, you can't beat it.

FYI - there is quite a bit of construction on the A1A in the area. Once the area is rehabbed and the new buildings are up, I would expect to see some price increases!
