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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Clean room. Staff was friendly. Outdoor pool is not clean or in use. Other tenants living on the property were smoking marijuana, which we smelled in our room and we don’t smoke that nor can stand the smell. Was not offered extra towels or bathing essentials for our 2 night stay for 3 people.

This was definitely a budget stay. The property seems pretty old and rundown, and that carried into the room. The not so good: the smell of cigarettes was immediately noticeable when walking in, the floor had clearly not been swept as part of cleaning the room, the sheets on one of the beds were stained, all of the lighting fixtures and the microwave were quite rusted, and there was no security latch present on the door. The okay: the AC worked, outlets worked, and the curtains could be drawn closed.

After taking a shower, I was walking around the room in my bare feet. I sat down to put socks on and noticed my feet were black. I had to use one of the bath towels to clean the floors. I showed the towel to the reception desk all he had to say was he was sorry.
