Very nostalgic and charming!

Fabulous family business! The motel is quaint and nostalgic. For its price, it is a great location! It reminds me of traveling when I was young! They are doing some upgrades, so this is a great travel stopover.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very rude. They charge for my clean pets yet the room was filthy, smelly and had a roach infestation. Luckily I did not notice the roaches until the morning because I would have not been able to sleep. But when I open the shower door they all went running. This place looks nothing like the pictures on Expedia

Wouldn’t have slept!

I didn’t even stay. Looks like a cute old style Florida hotel but it needs a lot of work. I checked in, went to the room and quickly went online to find another place to stay. Paid for and non refundable room but was worth the peace of mind to go elsewhere.

The property was dingy and gross. I don't know if it's Expedia or the property that set the price for that room, but it was way overpriced. Not worth $135 a night. I might as well have stayed at the Hilton down the street. Unbelievable.
