It's an older property but very clean and very well maintained... The pool is currently down unfortunately, but other than that no complaints...also a very quiet property which great. Don't go expecting the ritz, but if you want clean quiet place to stay this is perfect for the price.

The hotel is a basic roadside motel run by a family that seems to live on the property. It's decently clean and has all the basic necessities. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Towels are very small and thin. We took our own towels and pillows.

The room was clean. There was a fridge/freezer, microwave, small 1 cup coffee maker. I recommend taking your own towels & toiletries. The AC was loud, woke me up-thought someone was trying to get in. We were there for a Florida Gators game.

Had a wonderful stay for a great price. The room was exceptionally clean and quiet. The only issues were a lukewarm at best shower and the fan in the bathroom was really loud. But for the money it was wonderful. The staff were very friendly as well.
