Very low budget Howard Johnson. Rooms where not well maintained and the worst part is the roaches. If I could have gotten a refund and left i would have. But it was one night so I stayed and left at 4am. I showered and took a quick sleep in a very uncomfortable bed.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL

It’s not glamorous, but regarding the area, nearby competitors, and price, it is a solid affordable choice. The property is well-maintained with some aesthetic. Staff is polite and courteous. Do not cancel breakfast plans, as the free breakfast is a disappointment.

Telephone system didn't work so you could call the desk. They only put 2 towels in a room for a family of 4, then said they ran out of towels when asked for additional. The carpet in the rooms was aborably dirty. When we spilt a little water from our cooler, we used a towel to clean it up. It came up black (not gray). We made everyone wear shoes all the time after that. The place seemed freshly painted. Staff was nice & pleasant. Pool was cloudy. You couldn't see your feet in 3 feet of water.

I checked out around 10:30 give or take. At approximately noon I figured out I had left my wallet in the hotel room. I immediately called the front desk and explained to the gentleman who answered my problem. He asked me to hold and he would ask housekeeping. After a couple minutes he told me that yes my wallet was in the room along with a white plastic bag with chargers and some medicine. I asked him to please secure it and I would pick it up in 3 days on my way back through Ocala. I was so thankful that the employees were honest. They were also very accommodating to hold my “life” in my wallet. I retrieved it on Monday and my wallet and the contents of my plastic shopping bag were all intact. I applaud this Howard Johnson for all the employees who chose honesty! It is rare these days. I would definitely stay here again.

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. When I entered the room, I found signs of bedbugs and saw roaches. This made me feel uncomfortable and concerned about the cleanliness of the property. It was difficult to relax knowing there were insects in the room.

I reported the issue to the front desk, but I was not satisfied with how it was handled. Cleanliness and guest safety should be a top priority, and this experience did not meet even basic expectations.

I would not recommend staying here until these pest problems are properly addressed.

Otherwise, a very good experience.

The staff were friendly and polite, which I appreciated. However, the room was absolutely disgusting. There were bugs on the pillows, and when I brought it to the staff’s attention, I was told it was “just a wasp.” That response was very concerning and did not address the issue.

I was traveling with my baby and did not feel comfortable or safe staying in the room. As a result, I had to leave and pay for another hotel. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not stay here again.

We stayed here for a concert, the location was good the staff was super nice and accommodating they let us check in an hour early due to needing to get ready for the concert. While we understood that they were sold out the night prior due to the concert also and rushing to get people checked in, the room was not cleaned properly and i don't think it would have been even if we had checked in at normal time. There were curly black hairs and dirt/dust all over the toilet seat and back of toilet, the floor was freshly mopped so still wet when we went in but because of that you could see that only the main walkway from the door to bathroom was mopped not under desk or between beds, the whole room had a musty smell of either mildew or old cigarette smoke, and the sink area smelled of fish almost like unwashed feminine odor. In addition to all of that the breaker popped from using my hair dryer so we had no power for about 20 minutes while getting ready. The hotel definitely has potential if it was updated a lot it is clearly old and needs work, but the cleanliness issues were pretty gross.

You can't charge me over 200 a night and plug ins dont work, safe is not working, fridge and tv was unplugged and when we plugged in my daughter got shocked. To top it off when we opened the bathroom door the was a bug in the shower the size of a coffee mug - NO LIE. Told the front desk we would no longer be staying here.

Don’t let the pictures fool you. This place was run down. Found a German cockroach on the wall, immediately started to look for another hotel near by, but bc we were there for a big concert in Gainesville, every hotel in the area was booked, then found another roach on one of the bed later that night. Went to get ice and there was a dead fly on the plastic tray and another fly that was smooshed on the inside of the ice bucket lid. The sheets had nasty stains on them, that looked like they were from an opened wound. Thankfully we brought our own blankets to lay on top of. The room was dirty. I’m guessing people use the bathroom a lot on that property bc there were strong pee smells in certain areas. I do not recommend this place at all! I did not get any photos of the bugs bc I was to focused on killing them.

Staff was cordial and breakfast was good. Price is good, sheets are clean but Overall though: the room I got would benefit from more attentive cleaning, especially in the bathroom. This was a mayor let down for us this time. It is a basic motel-style hotel a bit dated but that would not be an issue if it was more carefully cleaned. I'm not particularly picky but that is a critical area that stood up negatively when compared to my previous hotel experiences that is why I'm rating with three stars.

Plenty of parking and an on site mini golf course. They closed the pool 10mins early so we weren’t able to stick our feet in after a long day of walking. We did have to kill multiple bugs in our room, so the property is definitely older and run down but the price was right.
The star of the show was Destiny at the front desk. We checked in around 11pm and were exhausted and she was fast and super friendly. Our AC unit didn’t work the first night and she came the second night after maintenance had already left for the day and reset it and got it working. She’s amazing!

After reading current reviews I thought, ok maybe things are better. NO - I was wrong. If you're spending 1 night here - maybe it's ok. But 1st room I walked into had a mechanical - maybe pipe sound in the bathroom - asked to be changed which they did. Black stains on comforter, no clock no kleenex in room. Shampoo no conditioner. \"Shower\" curtain is not waterproof so it leaks on the floor and they only given you 1 bathroom small floor towel .Light shade broken. Plastic like your grandma's house in 1970 on all lights. Free breakfast - only 1 waffle maker worked to countdown. Had to ask every 2 days for garbage’s to be emptied. \"Pool\" - teeny tiny - don't believe the pictures, it is teeny. Electrical outlet on day 3 - microwave continuous beeping, light bulb flickered, TV turned on and off - spooky - I complained and maintenance came quick to put in an extension cord. I would recommend this for 1 night, but more than 1 night no way. And only if you're on a budget. Also - location is good EXCEPT - extremely noisy and at night due to highway.

Horrible hotel, misleading photos and information in the Expedia. It should have a warning that most of the guests are junkies so families with children would avoid it. Police officers attending incidents every day. People brandishing guns in front of kids. Rooms were dirty and poorly maintained. My family checked out one day earlier because of a gun incident. The experience in this hotel/motel was among the worst in my lifetime. I will never stay in any Wyndham brand hotel ever again.
