It was def worth the price. It wasent bad, but it def needs work. The bed was pretty comfortable, the tv worked great, and had a lot of channels, the floor was very dirty, def needs to be mopped, and dusted. It was quiet, mainly because there was not a lot of people there. Really it just needs a lot of TLC.

This property is completely unsanitary. As soon as you walk into the lobby, you’re met with old mattresses stacked against the wall and clutter everywhere. I was first assigned Room 117, and the moment I walked in, there was a strong musty odor. When I checked the bedsheets, they were filthy—covered in stains and small bugs.

I returned to the front desk to request a different room, but the second one, Room 105, was even worse. There were dead roaches on the floor and in the shower, the mini fridge had mold both inside and outside, and the chair in the room was dirty.

The worst part of all was the fleas in the carpet, which left bites on our legs.

We stayed here because every hotel was booked up for the Morgan Wallen concert. We unfortunately got stuck with a smoking room,the bedding had cigarette burns in them and one of the blankets on the bed had a disgusting used band-aid on it. There was hair in the bathtub and on the floor when we got there. I ended up cleaning the room before we settled in (thank goodness we were only there to sleep). The housekeeping guy was nice he chatted with us when we were entering and leaving the room multiple times. I would not recommend. Last resort only if needed like we had to do.

There were two holes in the bathroom door, holes in the sheets (cigarette burns) and something stuck in the bathroom sink. First thing when we walked in it smelt like someone had been smoking weed in the room. Door didnt shut properly. Very disappointing we chose to drive halfway back home and sleep in our truck rather than stay there.

The room was dirty,and the bed spread had burn holes . The spa tub in the room was the only good thing. The hotel had a lot of drug activities. I don't know how it was rated very good when its very bad.

Check in person was pleasant and helpful.
No handle on bathroom faucet.
Shower sprayed outside of shower curtain all over the floor. Bath mat to dry the floor.
Only 2 bath towels. I used one to clean the floor around the refrigerator.
Refrigerator leaked on the floor. Ice built up in it.
Cooling good.
Beds comfortable and clean.

Air conditioner worked perfectly. Bathroom was exceptionally small, shower behind the door. Room was clean though limited in space. I use a wheelchair as I cannot walk far and it wouldn't fit between the bed and dresser to access the bathroom or opposite side of the bed.

We were really disappointed in our room it was supposed to be nonsmoking. It smelled like smoke and the bedsheets had holes burned in them we looked for another place to stay but couldn’t find anything so we went to Walmart and bought a blanket and sheet for the bed towels also were worn thin so we bought some also

When I walked into the room, it smelled very damp and moldy. There was a big puddle of water on the floor next to the mini fridge which was clearly leaking and likely not a new leak with how much water there was. I went to turn on the TV and the remote did not work, therefore I used my phone which not ideal. I wasn't expecting anything fancy but this was a very disappointing experience.

Cons: it took 15 min to check in, after I paid 90 minutes before via Expedia, I stood outside in the cold waiting for my key, a creepy drunk man parked in front of my room, I told the manager, I think he was actually a guest, the heat didn't work, room was dirty, faucet ready to fall apart, remote was gross and didn't work, I had to use the power, volume and channel buttons on the TV, housekeeping woke me up at 8:45, although check out is 11. Sketchy area. I was traveling solo and just needed a few hours of sleep.
Pros: cheap price, bed and pillows were comfy, they had hot water. Decent breakfast at Huddle.
? I didn't go near the shower, microwave or frig.

I was traveling north from Orlando for a trip involving several stops throughout the day. I decided this location because of price.

Reception person mentioned some good eateries nearby for dinner. I opted to eat across the street at at BBQ place. Good price and fast service.

This definitely a motel because I backed my car right up to the room door. That was convenient. Went inside to go to the bathroom. No soap! Had to go back to reception to see if bar soap is included! It is included so had to find the housekeeping person to get some soap.

Later that evening, a work crew arrived with large trucks and a lot of Spanish talk in the parking lot. Appears that this motel caters to long term business with work crews. I don’t object to who they do business with, but these guys were loud in the parking a lot, just outside my door.

I don’t know if I would stay here again.

We got to the hotel a little later in the evening than expected so we were tired from being on the road. We checked in and went to go find the room. There was as a large group of creepy men standing around an open fire burning garbage and random pieces of wood. They were listening to loud music and smoking weed heavily. Our room smelled like weed and the music was loud. We did not feel safe. We knew we needed to go somewhere else. We talked to the manager about the situation and they were not helpful at all. They wouldn’t even entertain giving us a refund so we could find somewhere else. We left and found another room at a different hotel. The price was not worth our safety and comfort. But this should not have happened. We deserve a refund. Ar the very least the situation should have been addressed. But the message we received was ‘too bad’.

Concerns about my recent stay

Dear [Hotel Manager/Customer Service],

I recently stayed at your hotel and had reserved a king-size bed for two nights. However, upon arrival, I was given a room with two beds located in the back of the building. Unfortunately, this area was very noisy, with people outside yelling, cursing, and grilling late into the night, which made it difficult to relax.

After requesting a change, I was moved to a handicapped-accessible room in the front of the building. While I appreciated the switch, the new room was also very loud, as sirens could be heard throughout the night.

Additionally, I noticed that the pictures on your website, do not accurately match the actual accommodations provided. This was disappointing, as it gave me the impression that the room would be different from what I received.

Overall, my reservation was not honored as booked, and both rooms ended up being uncomfortable due to noise and misrepresentation. I wanted to bring this to your attention and kindly ask if some form of compensation or resolution can be provided.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Sincerely,
Regina Phillips

MAKE SURE YOU READ SOME REVIEWS BEFORE STAYING IN HOTELS IF SENSITIVE TO SMOKE.
The guy who checked me in was nice, it was strange almost like he was living in the lobby illegally with his dog (not certain). From the exterior it looked ok, I reserved a non smoking room and first room I walked in smelt so bad of smoke it made my skin crawl. Second “non smoking” room smelt like vomit or someone died in there. It was dark outside and I couldn’t stay there I was so grossed out i didn’t make it past the front door of each “non smoking” room. Expedia was able to cancel when you call and speak to an agent but it’s a process and online it might say you can’t cancel but you can for reasons like this

To say this was a difficult and disappointing stay would be an understatement. This was the worst stay we’ve had at any hotel/motel.
We booked in advance and paid for a non-smoking, king bed room. We got a room smelling of smoke with two double beds in bad shape.
The sheets were clean, but that was where the positive experience ended.
Underneath the sheets were dirty, stained beds that should be disposed of. There were also unidentifiable bugs crawling on the floor the second we opened the door. There were earwigs in the bathroom.
There were gouges in the bathroom door where it looked like someone had tried to break into it at one point. The bath towels had black stains on them. The shower curtain had dirty red/brown stains on them, as did the walls.
The noise levels were also horrible. We could hear people talking/yelling and playing music both from outside and in the room next to ours.
All of these factors led to a horrible stay, and we would never recommend this place to anyone. We encourage management to make major changes.

I never got to go. My rental car had a large amount of unexpected fees not informed to me. I still got charged for the room even though I had no clue that the rental car wasn't going to work out. How was I supposed to know 48 hrs ahead. I'm totally unsatisfied with the policy. Corporate is making billions off of people that have unfortunate things happen.

Below basic

The gentleman at the desk was super nice and helpful! That was the only thing I liked about the motel. I requested a smoke free room. The room reeked of smoke. The bedding appeared fresh but I found 3 long hairs when I laid down. GROSS!! The towels were dingy. The floors and bathroom were very clean! There appear to be long term residents and they definitely make too much noise and have their bikes everywhere. I was extremely put off by that. I was quite exhausted so I turned the tv up loud and slept thought the night and hit the road early. Only a few smokers outside when I left & 8:45am.

Horrible service, horrible facility

We could not access our room with the room key so we would have to walk to the front of the complex to get someone to let us in every time we left the room. And there were 3 lamps in the room but only one had lightbulbs so it was extremely dark. We complained once we got in the room and we’re told if we didn’t like it we could leave, so we did. They were not at all accommodating and extremely rude. It wasn’t our fault they didn’t have lightbulbs or batteries for their door lock yet they made it our issue. We were still charged a cancelation fee but we did not feel safe to stay there.

Not as the pictures show. The place is infested with drug dealers and drug users. I took my children there with me and within 3 mins of being there he walks up to me and says what’s this? With a drug smoking pipe in his hand. I went to my truck real quick which was right in front of my door and so I left my children in there after checking the place for anymore drug paraphernalia.. well, sure enough my key card stopped working so I had to to walk about 300 yards where I had to wait for 10 mins for them to come up and give me a card. Only thing the owner had to say about my 4 year old finding the drug paraphernalia was “uhhh, can you go throw that away in that dumpster over there (100 ft away outside) I’ll talk to my cleaners about it”. That place is a joke

Hotel staff was alright but they went about things wrong trying to convince us to stay. the room smelt like weed because of the people in the next room, who had kids in there 5-6 people and like 3-4 cars parked outside (which added to the 0 parking) they were being noisy at 1 am. we ended up leaving that night because of the people. we got our full refund back. the hotel man went to there room gave them a noise complaint as we were leaving and then came to our door trying to convince us to stay which felt like it could’ve created an unsafe situation.
it should’ve been handled after we had already been gone
