The wellesley is a good motel and the continental breakfast was fine for me except I wished that they didn't have a waffle maker there

Ask in the flight centre for the location of restaurants, some of the restaurants towards the town centre are a bit pricey and best take a friend with you because the meals in a lot of the restaurants are humungus and one meal between two works great.

There is a good restaurant at Everglades City which is about 20 mins flight time away and is well worth a visit. The runway is only about 2200 ft long and some people have trouble with it but it's fine, the trouble I think is that the approach is over water and some people tend to set themselves up high and fast on final because the water spooks them. Go up into the flight centre and ask to see the photo's and stories of the ones that didn't make it! If you are low hour, avoid if there is a x wind, I found short final a bit rocky due to turbulence over the trees.
