This property needs quite a bit of Spray up, and definitely the walls need to be painted in each room. Decoration is one of their downfalls. The rooms were extremely cold with no pictures on the walls no color..

The young Jamaican man working the 11-7 shift was very sweet and understanding. However the motel was nothing like advertised. We checked in late, room was moldy, bed cover stained. 2nd room seemed better, but found by bugs crawling on both beds and baby wasp-like by bug on wall above the bed. We checked out! I want a rental refund!

Worth the money but needs updating

The property could be more charming if the landscaping was cleaned up some. There were weeds all over which could be taken care of by mulching. However the room was clean and quiet and the price was right. Breakfast was typical and at least it saved a family of four a little bit of money.

Ok place to stay for the money. Looks like they gave been updating rooms so our room looked good. Had to switch rooms since the AC in the first one didn't cool but there were no issues switching. Breakfast was ok but have had better at the major chains.

Beautiful hotel with clean rooms, nice little breakfast in the morning to start your day. Right beside the Fountaine of Youth, we saw a beauriful Peacock right outside the hotel in between the hotel & Fountain of youth. We can hear the Peacocks from the hotel. Love the sitting area where the 600 years old tree is. Nice pool and friendly staff! Great price and very well situated! Over all we really liked our stay! Thanky you

The outside of the building is dirty and piles of dust on the window The patio furniture is visible broken from far away. All wicker furniture is severely ripped. The breakfast area shown in the website is not even the same area or furniture they show you in the picture. The curtain was ripped. Highly disappointed from what I thought I was getting based on their website.
