Great location but the property could use some updating. The sheets were clean, AC blew cold and the water in the shower was hot but it was very dated

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!

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.
Jose, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property was my worth experience in staying at hotel. All furnitures were broken, we reserved room for three people and there were not even enough soap for one person. I complained to hotel manager and he said, they are going to renovate the place soon, but don’t understand why hotel terrible condition was not mentioned as part of listing.
Fariba, 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.
Sally, 1-night trip

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

The bed was very old, hard and springs poking me. It smelled like bug spray and there was an outer door on one of the walls that had been taped up to cover a big hole.

Not as pictured. I didn't feel comfortable touching anything. Didn't want to get under the sheets. The whole place felt run down & smelled.
Gail, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

I guess you get what you pay for. This facility was extremly run down. Rooms had paint chilling, AC was extremly loud, sheets had stains and hair on them, large gaps between the doors and Ac unit so you could see outside, no privacy curtains.
BRET, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
