My husband and I went to FL for some R&R and to get away from the cold Indiana weather. We had used all the online travel sights to find a hotel but couldn't find one near the beach within our price range.
I stumbled upon Tropi Rock via Trip Advisor. I read all the reviews and after speaking with the owner over the phone, I knew this would be a great stay. Plus they were one of the few small lodging motels/hotels with availability over New Years.
Our plane arrived late into FL and Mick was there to greet us at 11pm at night. Previous posters are correct, Tropi Rock is about 1.5 blocks from the ocean--which was wonderful. We were within walking distance of some great eateries and shopping. The Gallery mall is only a few minutes away. Thanks Mick for all the ideas for eateries!! The Pizza was the best!
It wasn't until the cold front came thru that we really had a chance to enjoy Tropi Rock. Yes, the bathrooms are a little dated. But that what gave it charm. Unfortunately we were there during one of Floridia coldest times and there is no heating units in the rooms. Thankfully blankets are available at the front desk.
Free internet access was wonderful - expecially on those cold days when we were looking for something to do. There are movies available at the front desk (for a small fee) to rent.
We never got a chance to try out the coffee, shows us to sleep in until 10am. We also enjoyed Oliver the dog. Made us really miss our own dog back home. He truly is the best welcome wagon agent!
We really enjoyed are stay and will stay again. If you are looking for a hotel out of the norm - stay here!
