Do not stay here.

This place is old and in need of serious repair. Holes in the walls, furniture is old and beat up. Bedding had cigarette burns in it. TV is ridiculously small. Bathroom was old and beat up.

Room from Hell (65)

Smell was horrible. Room was supposedly non-smoking but the smell of cigarettes was pungent. AC did not work properly. Spent the weekend in 100 degree heat with a barely usable AC unit. Bathroom sink was coming off. Smell lingers on everything. I’ve been home for a couple of days and I can still smell the horrid smell. DO NOT STAY HERE!

4/10 Fair

Extremely dirty place.

Place its really dirty and in bad condition, fridge does not work, AC is full of dust, both of my beds were badly stain of something brown, ice machine does not work with posible meldew. a non smoking room smells like cigarettes everywhere, in my whole weekend i didnt get the room clean a single time, no clean towel and toilet got clog. To make this worse place charge me extra to day I check in just for getting double twin bed instead of a king bed.

the staff is very friendly… the hotel in general is good perfect location and big room… but need better conditions… i think is in renovation… but is convenient and cheap
George, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Please look at the guest pictures! The pictures the hotel provided are just catfishing. The hotel is so run down. The inside of our room door had tape on the lock. I had to put the chair in front of it to feel somewhat safe. The beds had questionable stains. The feet on the beds were bending. Thank goodness I took blankets for my baby. The fridge had mold. Please be aware when booking

Not going back!

The room was in dire need of an upgrade. The bathroom needed replacing. The top of the toilet tank was broken and a sharp edge was above the flush handle. The bedspreads were filthy. At least the sheets were clean. No smoke alarm or fire extinguisher’s in the ceiling.

Dont stay there.

Poorly maintained. Things didn't work. Needed repairs and a good paint job. Bed was uncomfortable, pillows long passed usable.

Unsatisfiactury

Florida Project welfare motel- complete with broken blinds, filthy bathroom with complementary blood on the bathtub & walls, smelled like a smokers lounge shag carpet and should be avoided at all costs

Be honest, this property is not perfect. You get what you paid for. But the bed is comfortable. No bed bugs. Microwave and fridge in the room. That asve you money if you don't wanna eat out. This place is fine if you are a budget traveler.

Not returning

We tried to check-in at 3:30 pm and our room wasn’t ready. We arrived back at 8 pm and we were told our room still wasn’t ready. Thankfully the manager came out and found us a room. The room was dark and dirty.

great
Richard, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The blankets had holes because they were burnt, the lamps were broken, the deteriorated furniture had burnt marks of cigarettes. The trash bins around the property were overflowing. I was afraid the beds could be infested with bedbugs but apparently that didn’t happen.

2/10 Poor

STAY AWAY

The online photos are a gross misrepresentation of this property. The exterior and interiors of the property are poorly maintained. Mold on the shower, towels are like sandpaper. There were no blankets or a comforter on the bed. I was told the bedspread was a duvet. Doors in the room were taped over and painted.
2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I don’t ever trust the photos, but these ones are so far off from the actual it’s almost fiction. That said, no bed bugs or pests but all in all not clean or well kept. The owners stated they just bought this place and had plans to upgrade and clean up. For the price point though it’s not good value for the money. The owner is super nice and I do hope they upgrade and clean up. I wouldn’t stay there again unless it was upgraded.

After reading terrifying reviews I was surprised how nice and clean my room was. It’s not 5 star hotel - it’s budget friendly and I’m happy with that

The room was dirty. The beds and sheets were dirty. The bathroom was in terrible condition. We asked for sheets to be changed but the lady on staff got very angry. Bad service.
