Exactly what you expect to get at a HIES. Very convenient location near lots of amenities. Well-stocked breakfast and the room was perfect.

I travel from Miami to Stuart often for work and usually stay at another IHG property closer to my office. This time I decided to try something different, and I am so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was different. The hotel was extremely clean, modern, and very well kept, but what really made the experience was the team. Hiren and Henry were absolutely exceptional. They were professional, welcoming, and made me feel genuinely taken care of the entire time. What really stood out was when I found out last minute that I needed to extend my stay by another night. With limited availability, they immediately stepped in and made it happen. No hesitation, no stress. They handled it quickly and made me feel like a priority, which meant a lot. Because of this, this will be the only IHG property I stay at when I am in Stuart moving forward. It is rare to find a hotel that is this well run and backed by people who truly care. Hiren and Henry, thank you again. I truly appreciate you both.

A great hotel, clean rooms and baths, free breakfast, and outstand service both at the front desk and their maid service. Our favorite thing about this hotel is the Dunkin Donuts across the parking lot.

I had a chance to use some reward points and booked one night here. I worried that using points might somehow deliver a less than acceptable room but I was wrong. This property is well maintained both inside and outside. The room condition; bed, bath, and furnishings were all in great shape. Early morning coffee was just coming out in the lobby and it was delicious. My early checkout was before breakfast started so no chance to review . This is an excellent location to Stuart and the nearby beaches and attractions. Recommended!

Friendly staff at check in and check out, and the blackout curtain/roller thing in the room worked amazingly. AC cold plus a dark room made for a great nights sleep! Breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast.

This is a sweet, clean, hotel in a good location with a breakfast of pancakes, muffins, sweet rolls, eggs, biscuits, gravy, fruit, yogurt, a variety of juices and coffee. The hotel looks newly renovated with clean, new carpet and I love the Dove products to use. Love the tub. If you want one with a shower only, you can request the HC room. The staff were pleasant and polite. I would definitely stay here again. The location is awesome easy on & off from the Interstate. I did request an even room (away from the highway) and it was very quiet. They even have a pool. Plus, there is a gas station, McDonalds and Wendy's right at the exit. The Wendy's is walking distance one block maybe.
