This place is a dump. Room was dirty and very sketchy people hanging around the motel. It felt very unsafe, but we didn't have a choice because of the Gator game there were not many rooms available in the area.

Fernando

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place is filthy and disgusting. There was lots of mold in shower/ on bathroom walls, dirty walls and musky odor throughout room, towels are paper thin and super stained, shower curtain is yellowed and stained, the light was out over the vanity, the pillows were completely flattened out from overuse both the pillows and mattresses had orange/ brown/ green spots on them that were probably mold. When we addressed the issue at the front desk, we were allowed to look at two other rooms we could choose from. Both were just as bad as the first! Stay clear of this property!

It was very affordable, convenient to 75. Frig and MW provided. Personnel was professional and helpful, they came to open the office within minutes after ringing the bell. The beds were comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. The facility was older and though clean, fixtures were rusted. Wall unit and frig were noisy. Could hear TV and clear conversation from adjoining room. TV was in room, but no remote. Ice container and plastic liner provided, but couldn’t find ice maker anywhere. Overall, I got what I paid for. A good night’s rest and shower, a frig to keep my ice chest contents cold, but no frills.

While the gentleman on duty was extremely nice and welcoming, there was nothing else good about this place. In disrepair and questionable in all regards. The carpet was damp, the paint peeling, mold, and overall sketchy. If you can afford the extra 30 or 40 bucks, do yourself a favor and go with a known HOTEL chain. Lesson learned: I will never look for “a cheap place to crash” again.
