Although the hotel is tucked away near popular stores like Target, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Publix, Sam's Club, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, and Michaels, it still offers a peaceful retreat. While they don't serve breakfast, the room rates are very affordable. The rooms are also quite roomy and thoughtfully designed, making your stay comfortable.

It’s the red roof ya know. This was still a nice stay mainly because of the staff being so friendly, we all enjoyed the pool my daughter especially and they allow 1 pet to stay for free so we were able to bring along our dog! We did have to request a new room our first night there - the one they originally gave us was extremely broke down and honestly shouldn’t be allowed to be rented out until the several Required repairs are complete, BUT they didn’t give us any hassle. Just went back down to the front desk requested something else and they gave a cleaner/better room on the same floor which made moving easy peasy. I’ve stayed here before in the past and it’s always an ok experience as far as quality goes, but you can’t beat the rate + location + great staff & the pool was clean and cool which makes up for quality in my opinion.

We had reserved for 4 nights and had to change our accommodations after the first night. Although the staff was very friendly, understanding and accommodating, the hotel itself is just run down. Our room walls were beat up from luggage or moving furniture around. The sink did not drain, there was mold around the shower controls, tub edges and walls. When first walked into the bathroom we were met with small roaches running around. I did not realize that they allowed pets and when we pulled the comforter back to lay in bed the sheets were covered in small dog hairs all over. We literally wanted to leave that same night, but it was too late and could not get another hotel until the next day. Again, the staff was very nice and understanding. Would definitely not recommend, you get what you pay for.
