I booked this hotel because it was close to Bush Gardens. The pool looked like there was mold growing on the bottom, black in all the cracks and crevices but the water didn’t feel gross so that’s something. The room was clean..ish. When I woke in the middle of the night I observed a (single, only one I can confirm I saw. However, where there is one there are many) roach in the sink which made me wonder; if there is mold in the pool and roaches in the room perhaps that’s why the shower tile was black and the carpet was dark. I would not stay here again and they should lower the rate and at every least fumigate!

The place looked like they didn’t clean in days. Only the bathroom was decent. Sheets were stained and cockroaches all around.

The owners and staff were great but the room and hotel itself is like a trap house there were drug addicts and it was run down and was not a place to bring family and kids

We stayed at this hotel for 15minutes before checking out!
Property was filthy and had an awful smell. Nothing looked clean as well as cockroaches everywhere. You don't feel safe at this hotel.

This Place is Grotesque
No one was in the office for more than a half hour and we nearly left because it was very late and we needed a place to stay. This place is horrendous.

The staff is very nice qnd professional. However the area is not what was expected from the pictures that is showing on expedia. The room was very clustered and the closet was on the door where it was hard to get in.
