It was a standard hotel setting. Nothing overtly fabulous but not shabby either. Great for crashing somewhere for a couple of nights. At an affordable rate. Plus it’s quiet and great for a comfortable nights rest.

It was a nice no frills hotel to stay at overnight The check in was smooth, the gentleman was nice. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. I didn't like that you had to go back to get the hold removed from the card. Maybe get a way to automatically put it back on the card.

Price was good. Location was okay. Pool was closed, was pretty gross, so it makes sense. (It wasn't advertised as having one on the street sign). Not pet friendly. No serious problems, slept well in the room.

The night staff was very friendly and helpful. It was sometimes hard to find staff to help though and people would wait during lunch breaks. The room was recently renovated and clean. It had most of the necessities, I just had to ask for a blanket but was not able to get a hair dryer. The location was on a very busy road, but the sound wasn't bad and we were fairly close to town. The towels were very small and thin, but it had almost everything I needed at a great price. It was nice to have the microwave and fridge too. I would stay there again in the future.

Room was clean and in good condition but had a weird smell throughout my stay. I also found an insect in my room the second day and that is the reason for my lower rating.

I had a mixed experience here. On the positive side, the rooms are impressively spacious, the rates are fair, and the staff is genuinely helpful. Having a great restaurant (Double Tapp) and the Frogbone shooting range next door was a plus—surprisingly, I never heard a single gunshot. The onsite laundry and ample parking were also convenient. However, the noise was a major issue. Being right under the flight path means constant, loud aircraft noise, supplemented by nearby trains. The back parking lot was also a hub for loud guests and idling engines early in the morning. The amenities need work: the pool was closed and filled with stagnant green water, which caused a significant mosquito problem. While it’s a decent spot for a night or two to watch a space launch, the outdated facilities and external noise mean I likely won't return.

Staff was courteous and thorough. Room was missing the extra safety bar for security purposes. I rig something to be sure the room wasn't broken into. Room was missing such things as we usually have at other places as hair dryers and Kleenex. Other than that the room was in clean shape they'll certainly not particularly well appointed, as this is a very old place. Would I stay there again, not sure probably not.

Location is nice; in a historic city an hour from Orlando, nice view of the Indian river right across the street. The front facade of the building looks beautiful and new, but the rest of the exterior of the hotel looks old and run down. The reception area also looks old and dingy, but luckily the inside of my room looked very fresh, new, and clean, although some areas of the floor did leave our feet dirty. The complementary shampoo and soap smelled wonderful, and all utilities/features worked as they should. That said, the first night we were there the beds had no blankets; only had a sheet and coverlet about as thin as the curtains. The next day when I went to ask for more I was given actual blankets and informed them that there were none to begin with. The towel exchange was always promptly completed, but we didn't get back as many items as we put out (one towel short and no washcloths), which made showering difficult. There was also no tag in the room to indicated whether we wanted room cleaning. Both mornings I attempted to go to the front desk around 10 AM it was locked with no one around, including when we were rushing to check out to make our flight. I do have to say that the gentleman who checked us in was absolutely delightful. It was around 1:20 AM, but he was incredibly friendly, personable, and helpful and made a stressful night much better.
