We didn’t stay. We took at look at property and room and said we were not staying. The pool was empty. People sitting outside room no shoes or shirts just shirts. Homeless all around. Had to body slam to look at room. Air conditioning didn’t work. Ac button taped over. Room super hot. No phone in room in case of problems or emergency. That’s a red flag.

Clean, but well warn-out motel. There is a microwave in the room, but you need to bring your own mv-safe cups/plates to use it. They do not provide any.
Built-in hair dryer did not work. Had to ask for it the receptionist. TV is working but again had to ask for help to start watching it because it was not tuned properly.

There is NO daily , nor ANY housekeeping. There is NO breakfast or coffee. There is NO people in the office. The room was just a concrete square with a bed, small table, 2 cracked and withered chairs. Bathroom is from 1960. The tub faucet never stopped running. We had one rill of toilet paper for 6 days, 2 people. DO NOT BELIEVE THE PICTURES! They do not show the truth of what you will get.
The only good thing i can say is there are no roaches and no bedbugs.

No breakfast offered even though it's listed. You can't get into the lobby they do everything through the night window that's just big enough to pass your hand through. The bathroom looked like it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned based off the amount of dirt in the corners and the shirt tag stuck to the wall from a previous renter. The pool was completely unusable. I know it's not spring yet but you'd think with it being right around the corner they would at least be working on it or something. Also, the playground is one like I used to play on when I was a kid in the 80's like it was built then and never updated so unless you are up to date on your tetanus shot I wouldn't go near it. Not family friendly it's used as a long term rental place with broken down beat up cars in the lot that you can tell didn't go anywhere. Only up side is it's right there walking distance to get to silver springs but it's not worth the stay. Rude staff I will definitely not return. I even made a complaint with Expedia regarding the false advertisement with this property. Most the the images you see have been documented up by Ai.

Upon arrival the staff came off very aggressive and rude. She changed the price multiple times, I advised her that I had already paid online thru expedia and I also told her that I brought my 2 children a total of 4 guest initially that was not the plan so the reservation was for 2people. After being honest about that and willing to pay any additional fees she became enraged and started throwing things and slamming the papers on the desk yelling that \"she was sick and tired of people sneaking extra people and went on a rant about how a previous person had 6 people in the room\" My wife and I calmly sympathized with her and said he are being honest and most hotels that you get a room with 2 beds will allow 4guest max. She argued that their policy for a room with 2 beds was only 3 people. lol and demanded more money, but when my wife explained what was stated in the description she rudely told us if we didnt like it we could leave. (we shouldve just cancelled and left instead of allowing her to continue to disrespect us, but we were tired and just wanted to rest) finally after everything was situated we paid the extra and the key was given. We drove around the office to the room. The pool has no water, the unkeep of the property looks nothing like the photos \"maybe 20-30yrs ago\" the porches of the rooms most are cluttered with what appears to be long term stays, it looks unsafe outside and as we entered the room in only got worst we brought lysol but that didnt help

The staff at this hotel are absolutely horrific. They are running an active scam, just go and read all the one star Google reviews where they cancel people's reservations right before arrival or upon arrival and still charge them. This is exactly what they did to my brother and I who had driven 9 hours and made our reservation 2 weeks prior. We purposely chose the pay upon arrival option just in case something came up and after arriving at around 9 pm, the entire family running the place refused to open the door to the lobby and yelled at us, \"no vacancy!!!\" I told them I had made a reservation on Expedia and they refused to honor it and continued yelling and raising their fists at us. The man, his wife, and their mother all yelled and treated us horribly. They refused to even allow us in the lobby after our long day of travel, then proceeded to charge my account $187 for the 2 nights we booked after telling us we couldn't check in. I asked Expedia for a refund and they refused since the hotel refused. I will be pursuing legal action. I am repulsed that Expedia would allow this kind of scam and refuse to do the research that thing and refund our money. Horrible company and horrible hotel.

worse than just No Frills

The desk area is a mess and the clerk/owner gave us the wrong room (already occupied). When he finally found us a room he made us go back to the office to get another key instead of offering to bring it to us. Pool is nasty and outside areas are kind of creepy and illkept. Mattresses are old and slanted due to people sitting on the edge of the bed. Felt like sleeping on a hillside. AC and wifi were marinal and we were never able to get TV working.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Bathroom had a couple roaches in it and the shower was basically set up for someone. That was a very small person.. water temperature could never get right it would go from cold to scalding hot on its own. It took like five minutes for it to warm up. There’s no outlet to really plug-in a phone charger. They have people living there full-time who are making noise all night long or you can’t even get no rest, the bed were actually uncomfortable crunchy when you sat down on it

I guess I should have known considering the price but my experience was the worst to date. I was there to check in late at night and there was a sign that said no hot water taped to the door. The man who came out was hard to understand, very short tempered, and insisted there was hot water. The photos are very misleading, the lobby photos must have been taken many years ago when the furniture was new and the outside recently painted. The pool is empty and sad looking. The air was musty upon entering, the beds are in those frames that are larger than the mattress so my 87 year old father almost broke a hip tripping over them not to mention the multiple bruises he has on his shins from banging into the corners. The bathroom had an old soap in it from a previous person. You were given only one towel per person in the room and they were thin so I was not dry when I got dressed. One of the lights over the bed didn't work. The faucets handles were missing their inserts that specified if they were cold or hot. Although not necessary to label, that kind of uncapped item would be hard to sanitize and is unsightly. The only thing positive is that the sheets seemed to be clean and it was quiet, although I think we disrupted that due to my father's continued injuries. 0/10 do not recommend unless you are in desperate need to crash and not concerned about any of the above items.

Lie lie lie

We booked this hotel based on the advertised amenities, location and photos. Unfortunately, everything advertised was a lie. They said they had a complimentary Continental breakfast, that was a lie. They said they were located inside Silver springs State park, that was a lie. All the photos that were on the site were lies. We had no hot water, ac didn't work properly, hair dryer didn't work, no phone to connect to a service desk, room looked morning like photos, staff that didn't care that they weren't offering what their advertisement said and didn't speak/ understand English well. Very frustrated!!

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but this was not a good experience. (My compliments to the photographer for making it look better than it was. Very deceiving). I thought it was going to be a nostalgic throwback to the glory days of Silver Springs. Wrong.
There was no breakfast or even coffee, the pool is closed and not maintained, there was a table and two chairs in the room, but nothing else for furniture or decor, very noisy window A/C window unit. The only thing that looked updated was the bed itself which was NOT the \"best bed in town\" as they advertise. Matter of fact, if you have issues with your back, it could be especially bad. On the plus side there was cable TV, so, there's that. I think some of the guests were \"extended stay\" which is usually not a good sign for small motels, but we didn't have any problems with the other guests. The worst thing was that the staff treated us less like motel guests and more like intruders in their house.
I hate to be so negative, but this is the truth.

The facilities are old but the rooms clean and comfy with great air conditioning and great hot water for showering. It was very peaceful and quiet and we all slept great! For this we highly recommend. Also family run! We came here to go kayaking at Silver Spring which is almost walking distance and we would come and stay here again!

The place just seemed old. The photo showing the front of the property must have been taken when the place had just been painted. The lobby door is always locked.
I was surprised to see garage style epoxy (with the sprinkles on the floor) instead of carpeting. Furniture style was not of this decade. Century, either. AC seemed to have a hard time keeping up. The mattress was much softer than I like. (I did not ask if they had a room with a more firm mattress, though)
When my key card quit working early Saturday morning, around 7:00-7:30, staff came out finally (remember, lobby door is locked) in her pajamas and not saying nice things (in her native language).
Should I need a room in Silver Springs in the future, I think I will choose a different location.

This property was poorly maintained. The lobby was being used as a living room for the owner's family. Very messy. Room itself was very scarce and old, but did appear clean. Bed was okay.

I originally reserved a Queen room and when I got there. She informed me that some of the rooms have lost power and they did not have any more Queen rooms available. So I had to go with a 2 double bedroom. And instead of compensating me or giving me something off the room, she charged me the same amount and she was very rude and not to mention the room needed work, the walls needed to be painted. The door was rotted on the bottom. The shower water was cold. It just was not a good room at all. And if we had not checked in so late, we would have went to another hotel. So if you're trying to decide whether or not to stay here, don't waste your time

We reserved a queen bed room but i guess some of The room's lost power. So without even notifying me. They said oh, we just can't give you that Queen room. We have to give you a 2 double bed room which i didnt want and tbey still charged me the same price. The shower water temp sucked due to it being cold and the lady at the front desk was very rude and the inside of the room needed work badly. Do not stay here. Very disappointed And if it wasn't so late when we arrived to check in, we would have went to another hotel

The website and brochure portray an image of a refurbished, retro, 1960's style motel, but the reality is completely different. The pool is closed and damaged. The playground, picnic area and fire pit area are dilapidated. The grounds are unkept and neglected. Many of the people there were residents, rather than travellers, and in one occasion, I had to go out and yell at them for drinking and playing music after quiet hours. The owners disconnected their phone, so we couldn't lodge a complaint. On the plus size, the room was clean, and we did receive proper service

Okay good for the price.

It was clean and inexpensive. It seemed safe. There's a lot of road noise and the window coverings and DOOR let in a bit too much light on the perimeter of the windows and door. The shower did not work and the temperature of the water was not very warm. For the money it was okay.

It only looked good on pictures. Reception office doors locked, check in had to be done through a hole in the wall and it was only 9pm.
In the posting on expidia it said breakfast included, but not even coffee in the morning.
The bed was good though.

Upon check-in the building has a old bleach smell. The rooms are so strong with the smell we had to air out for hours before closing the door. Dated rooms ,small tv ,poor ventilation. Would not recommend wasting your time. traffic noise sounds like its being played over loud speakers.

Pictures for the hotel are from 10 years ago when someone renovated it. Hotel is managed by some Hindu people who don’t speak English. Check in closes at 11:00. Hotel staff was rude and hinged up the phone when I tried to find out at what time I could arrive. No continental breakfast at all not even hot coffee. Pool was empty. Outdated. Dirty.

This place is as nasty as they get

The lady checking us in was nasty as could be. They have full time residents in most of the units, very bad and unsafe motel. Cussing and partying of the residents. Was the THE ABSOLUTE WORST STAY WE'VE EVER HAD. Stay way away from this hell hole. Pictures look nice, that that's not reality of this sleezy motel. We should have left and got a refund, but only stayed for a few hours to rest and then leave.

The property was dingy and gross. I don't know if it's Expedia or the property that set the price for that room, but it was way overpriced. Not worth $135 a night. I might as well have stayed at the Hilton down the street. Unbelievable.

We did not even get to check in, barely in the door and already was given attitude. I did not understand why a credit card was needed and the woman at the desk immediately started snapping at me about canceling the reservation. After trying to calm her I asked a few more questions and the motel was not as advertised-no breakfast and working pool (was empty) we did ultimately request a refund. I was willing to give Sun Plaza a chance as a retro style motel, but the customer service we received changed oue decision.

Upon arrival, the room was not like the pictures. It has a window shaker a/c that was loud. The shower was low water pressure and not hot water. But that was not the worst part. The worst part was the manager who was extremely rude! We asked about getting 2 more towels as there was only 2 in the room for two people, and also asked for toilet paper as we didn’t see any. The managers response was to scream and tell us to get out! We stayed in our room, did not get additional towels nor did we ask for anything else. We felt unsafe as two women traveling and we will never stay here again!!!
I would recommend the Super 8 at 40 which is cheaper and better
