Staff was great, very polite and quick to check in.
Nice rooms, great location, walkable to Florida campus, nice dining nearby, perfect for games with no need to drive. Really good and affordable option.
It should be removed from the hosting list. Good attention at check in. Disappointment when arriving at the room, an invasion of cockroaches coming out of the floor carpet, torn sheets with cigarette burn holes. Dirty bathroom and in poor condition. Room with unpleasant smell. Old and dirty furniture, rusty lamps. Horrible sanitary conditions. We left the place and went to another hotel.
Not sure if it was the mold in the shower or the urine stained mattresses that gave the room it's fragrance... I can not believe expedia, and AARP are associated with this hotel.
This property was soooo disgusting. I’m shocked Expedia is even listing this facility. The rooms were filthy, beddings included. The bathroom door wouldn’t even close properly. As soon as we checked in we decided to leave and find something else.
The staff were very nice but unfortunately the rooms were dilapidated and in poor condition. The infrastructure was crumbling and the water temperature was lukewarm
If I could give a zero I would have. Unfortunately we stayed on a Saturday so it cost us 154.00. The guy at the counter was ok but his nails were long and dirty. The room door to the outside had a gap 1/2 inch all the way around it. No safety at all. The carpet was so dirty that my husbands socks were black. Dust on the table, cracks in the ceiling, mold in the bathroom and worst of all, the bathroom door did not shut at all. When we walked in it stunk so bad like stale cigarettes. Only reasonable good thing was the sheets appeared clean. I can’t believe some people gave a 10/10. They stayed in a different place than we did. If we weren’t so exhausted from traveling we would have moved on. But, never again.

Run down old motel , poor fitting sheets, rough tiny towels damaged furniture. A great value at $59 but it wasn’t.
