So I’m just going to stick to facts and let you decide. We booked here as a place to stay after the UF homecoming game. We booked a king room, paid for a king, and I guess due to our late arrival had a queen room. It was a bed and we were grateful for a bed.
It’s a charming, OLD motel, that they are lovingly renovating. Unfortunately you cannot change the walls, so you do literally hear everyone’s conversation in the sweet sitting area across the parking lot, as well as the neighbors in their rooms. I’m sure our neighbors heard our TV until midnight. You will hear the road noise all night. Literally all night. Trucks, cars, music in those cars. But that IS NOT the fault of the owners, just a sad by product of the location.
The AC was extremely cold and quiet. If you need a dark room to sleep, bring a sleep mask. The bed was firm but not uncomfortably firm. We had a very thick/firm pillow and a flat softer pillow in the sham. It worked for me to put the pillow case over the sham to sleep, then I just put it back before we left. They WERE better than the flat feather pillows you get at some chain hotels, so that was appreciated that they tried to cater to everyone.
Having coffee IN THE ROOM would have definitely helped, but Dunkin was a few miles down the road.
We didn’t get to meet the owners but from reviews, they seem to pride themselves in their inn. I don’t want throw shade, but this is not 5 stars. Or 4. Per reviews, we expected better.
