It’s not fancy, but the overall price-value was surprisingly good! Clean and newly remodeled bathrooms, proximity to FSU, and midsize fridge were the most impressive for such a reasonable price.

Looks sus, but quite a nice place!

The receptionists were very helpful, got me into a smoke-free room at the same price, even though it was supposed to cost more. And I forgot my chargers at the hotel at checkout day, and I cam back at 11:30 and the lady had them for me at the desk! And a side note, the bathrooms are quite clean for a sketchy looking hotel!

Good for an overnight stay. Advertised continental breakfast, I don’t call coffee and bagel as acceptable for breakfast no other beverage. It is good for a close visit to capital you could walk there.

Older hotel in a convenient location. Room was spacious and very clean. The bed was firmer than my liking, but in excellent condition. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out of. It was a FSU game weekend, we paid a premium on the rooms, so the value wasn’t there, but that’s capitalism.

We brought our own bed sheets and pillows to be safe but there’s honestly look stylish and clean. this place shocked us with how great it was! We paid $800 for family weekend but had a great stay. Parked right up front, bathrooms are newly renovated and clean. Floors are laminate so you don’t have to worry about gross carpet and room was cool and minimally musky. Def bring your own sheets and comforter but it’s a good stay. We walked everywhere. Went to the game, 5 miles round trip

It's an old property, but has been updated. It had a rain shower head which you usually don't see. It had a microwave and a frig which sometimes you don't have in Marriott or Hilton properties in Tallahassee. Price was excellent. Location is central.

The front desk associate was very helpful and courteous. We had some paint peeling in our room which we notified the front desk to make sure we weren’t charged for damages and no problems there. Unfortunately, the sheets on one bed had a small stain, but overall pretty clean and served it’s purpose.

I liked: the lady who checked us in and the gentleman who checked us out were both very cordial and helpful. These were the only staff we met. The bathroom in our unit was quite nice. I didn't like: the choice for the complimentary breakfast was poor and there was no place to sit and eat it. No decaf coffee available.

Looks can be deceiving

The hotel looks pretty sad from the outside. Exterior lights blinking, no windows on the entry side of the units. The units however are very nice the bathrooms are updated and the beds are comfortable albiet small.
