We requested a room specifically with a beach front (gulf front) location with a balcony, because we had just finished with a business function in Orlando and wanted to be able to relax and decompress. The "balcony" is a 3 foot depth shared space and 2 plastic chairs with no privacy or separation from rooms on either side of us. The view, if you are seated, is blocked by concrete railing. We were at the mercy of neighboring guests and their cell phone conversations, cigarettes, talking, and eyes. Not quite what we had in mind. The description of the room accoutrements were inaccurate by ommission of this information. I agree this hotel is old, but in fairly good shape and priced well. The staff is friendly and helpful.
