The property manager was friendly and very helpful. The property was okay for the price but we did kill 1 cockroach in our room. Hopefully they get pest control out there before it becomes an issue.

It’s a good value

The hotel was clean and cozy, but it was a bit dated and the tv didn’t work, however it was a good value for the money.

Horrible

This was so dirty we decided to leave minutes after going into our room! I highly recommend you never go here! Of course they still charged me even though I left! Pool empty cement pond, room walls dirty, blood stained mattress cover, garbage and construction materials everywhere outside. Awful!!

Okay hotel

This is a roadside hotel that caters more to truck drivers. Lot’s of porn on the tv. The rooms were cleanish. Shower was functional but not very clean. We were just there to make a quick stop on our way to Orlando. It served it’s purpose for a place to sleep.
