Clean room with clean floors! The bathroom was spotless. It’s a 60’s era motel updated with a modern shower, sink and toilet. The room has a varnished wood lath ceiling — very safe place to stay, close to universities and FL Memorial Hospital. Courteous and friendly management.

Pros: Clean room, upgraded bathroom, AC worked great, Ample parking. Wooden floor, semi comfortable bed. Great price so not having breakfast provided was OK. Cons: No breakfast, Dingy old bathroom washcloth, bath mat and one of the 2 towels provided. Glad we travelled with our own. Comforter was stiff and uncomfortable. Non-working hair dryer and storage drawers were a disaster in not closing or opening properly.

Very helpful and kind at check-in . Clean room with very clean, rugless floor , comfie bed , refrigerator , microwave , hairdryer. We went in a very cold spell and the room heater worked very well and our room was toasty. Coffee maker in room , but I preferred the brewed coffee at 7 am in lobby with powdered creamer . Easy parking motel- style by your hotel room door . Clean towels . Restaurants close by including a delicious Indian restaurant and Italian and Mexican that we did not try. Plus a food Co-op ( non-members welcome to shop for prepared foods ). Only note: take a short shower , the hot water runs out , and bring Kleenex if u like them . Excellent value if u get a good price .

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.

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.

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!

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.
