There is no pool, which is one of the reasons I decided to stay there. The staff was helpful. Good motel for the money. Enjoyed microwave and fridge. But besides those amenities it's pretty basic. But it was all I needed. Would stay again.

Parking being included was the only perk. The staff was rude, the place is old and run down. The shower was dirty and held together with electric tape, water pressure was terrible. You could here the people next to you through the adjoining door all night. You could here the people behind you through the vents in the bathroom, and smell their weed...the door to the outside let in light and bugs all the way around. Breakfast was coffee and a busted juice dispenser and empty waffle batter machine and the lady running the desk could not care less. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The floor was filty!!

The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The young lady who checked us in was kind and helpful. The location was ideal for visiting a family member in the local hospital. Unfortunately, the room was not clean, bugs plentiful and did not feel really safe after dark. Other than convenience and price, I could not recommend it.

Not recommended. I booked a smoke-free room. However, when I entered the room, there was a strong smell of smoke. We could not sleep well because of the bad smell. And there is no ventilation in the room. However, the front desk staff is good.

This place is not in the best part of town. It doesn’t resemble what is shown in the photos. Fencing around parking area and the check in is done with the clerk behind plexiglass. Check in was fairly easy. The room is old. The bed was quite comfortable with fresh linens. The bathroom was clean. Old, thin towels but adequate. It was very loud with traffic right near our room. All in all, it met our needs for a place to sleep and shower

Staff were great. Very pleasant and helpful. The room was in disrepair, the toilet barely worked, the paint was stained. the tile in the bathroom was damaged. Beds (full sized, not queens) were OK at best. Outside noise was terrible.

Paid more for less

Furniture in the room was falling apart and location of hotel was not the safest in town. The bed however was comfortable. I paid more for the room than I thought it was worth but that may have been due to the timing. It was Fl/GA football Saturday.

Get what you pay for

Front desk service was very friendly and professional. But the facility is in very poor condition. People asking for spare change in the parking lot. Unlighted halls and stairwells. As for cleanliness- there was a dirty wash cloth hanging in the shower. We left and went to a Hampton. That being said, it was half the cost of the Hampton. So if you’re feeling frugal and adventurous, go for it.
