Clean room with clean floors! The bathroom was spotless. It’s a 60’s era motel updated with a modern shower, sink and toilet. The room has a varnished wood lath ceiling — very safe place to stay, close to universities and FL Memorial Hospital. Courteous and friendly management.

Property is very aged. Bed was good, rest of the furniture was beat up. No amenities at this hotel - zero. No breakfast, no coffee even at 7 AM. Don't bring your spouse here. Free parking, a solid bed, shower - that is the only positives about this place. Way overpriced for what you get.

The bed was clean and the bathroom well maintained. However, the smell of smoke was overpowering and the lack of sound insulation between rooms made sleeping difficult.

Very helpful and kind at check-in . Clean room with very clean, rugless floor , comfie bed , refrigerator , microwave , hairdryer. We went in a very cold spell and the room heater worked very well and our room was toasty. Coffee maker in room , but I preferred the brewed coffee at 7 am in lobby with powdered creamer . Easy parking motel- style by your hotel room door . Clean towels . Restaurants close by including a delicious Indian restaurant and Italian and Mexican that we did not try. Plus a food Co-op ( non-members welcome to shop for prepared foods ). Only note: take a short shower , the hot water runs out , and bring Kleenex if u like them . Excellent value if u get a good price .
