We gave them 5 stars for value, cleanliness and for the nice room and bed. Everything appears mostly new Complete new room interior, super comfortable bed.. We stopped on the way south and booked the room because it was a good stopping point. We will definitely be back. It's not a resort so no real amenities but a nice clean, newly renovated room and super friendly staff.

Impressive, perfect for the budget. Very clean and you can see they are remodeling and keeping the property little by little. The last touch I would do since the bathroom seems new, it will be the furniture and the bed headboards. Besides that, everything great. Thank you for everything.

This was the nicest stay, we’ve ever had. We stayed for 12 straight days. These are the most friendly people we ever met. It was clean there, and quit. We sleeped very well, every night. They are most reasonable with their prices. We’ve stayed at the holiday hotel down the road, for over twice the price. Couldn’t been happier with our stay here . Liked better than any other hotels in starke. Looking for a great place to stay, give them a try. You’ll be glad you did.
