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.

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.

The place was very run down, our room was dirty. I had to buy Lysol wipes and spray and clean the room. We also, left for dinner and came back and there was a fricking cockroach on the wall by the microwave and refrigerator. Absolutely disgusting! Don’t waste your time.

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.

I checked in at 1am, and the lobby smelled like a dirty fish tank. When I got to the room there was a disgusting old cigarette smell (I signed an agreement that the room was nonsmoking upon checkin), I turned the air on and the smell was intensified. The bathroom smelled even worse. There was no door latch on the door, the fire alarm was ripped off the wall, there was a dirty stain on the bedsheets, and the blanket was as thin as a curtain. I couldn’t sleep because I didn’t feel safe. I checked out at 8am I was supposed to be there for 6 days. Terrible experience and would never go there again!
