Meh hotel

There's a big sign attached to the front of the lobby building that says that the property has been deemed to be a public nuisance and will have increased rules and increased patrol from law enforcement. The property is older and hasn't had much updating. My room reaked of cigarette smoke smell. However, my car was still there the next morning so I guess I can't complain too much.

I don't like being on the front side of the building. To much noise from the street not to mention the sun from that side seems brighter and hotter. But thank goodness they have been around during this transition in our life since Milton we have been displaced and they have been warm and welcoming to us staff can be difficult sometimes but can't everyone at least they are here when need a reasonable place to stay so we are not sleeping in our car again. Hugs and kisses 😘😚😘

I had to asked to a room with safety lock after 3 rooms found one. Toilet stopped flushing. Fixed promptly then broke again. Key card had to be reset 3times in just a 2 day stay. Staff very friendly and professional and very prompt to resolve my complaints. Pool was nice. Unfortunately the were installing a new roof during my brief stay which was loud for a Saturday. No work on Sunday but that was probably because of thunderstorms all day til 3pm. Room was relatively clean but did find some dead fruit flies in room. Did have good AC and working fridge and microwave a plus. If you are not staying in room except to sleep it will pass but not for confort.

Property in really poor condition. Not clean at all. Not safe. The room door's lock was not working properly. You should avoid this property.

Upon entering I told the front desk clerk that I wasn't from the area and preferred a room that had a parking space directly in front of the room. When he printed the key he told me he gave me a room in "the next building," & when I asked where it was exactly he said around the corner. I said, "ok, got in my car and started driving around the parking lot." When I made it "around the corner," I notice caution-tape restricting cars from actually driving to the building. Seeing this I figured it was a mistake, turned around and went back to ask the attendant if there was a mistake. He told me, "the building is right there," to which I reminded him I'm not from this area and would prefer a room where I can see my vehicle. in frustration he walked around the counter, outside & pointed to a building that was 50 yards away saying, "you can park here and then walk under the caution tape to the building through an empty parking lot." I once again told him I'd like my vehicle close, where I can see it, not 50 yards away and around the corner from where he stood pointing. His communication skills were paramount to gasliting as he told me, "no one has a problem with walking over there, this is a non issue," rather than simply getting the point I want a room within eyesight of my vehicle. Hearing this he said, "ok I can fix this." He proceeded to give me a room a few doors from the front office and I hoped at this moment the issues from earlier were about to be fixed. They weren't

The only highlight here was the girl at the front desk. She was sweet and upbeat, but the place was nasty. There were no working vending machines, the office closed, there were bad places on the floor and walls, you could take a bath (no stopper), no water pressure for a shower and half the lights work

The neighborhood was not that great but I adjusted. The pool had no set time for open in close but on Sunday the person came up and said it was closed so I got out. However, I then saw someone else in the pool area. The rooms were small and not super clean. Its more of a motel.
