Bare bones hotel
This was a bare bones hotel. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was Wi-Fi and a tv, and not much else. If all you want is a comfortable bed, then this is the place for you.

We've stayed here a few times. It's not fancy, but for a short stay it's perfect. Good size refrigerator w/freezer section. Microwave. No coffee maker in room but coffee available in the lobby after 7:30.

The room & bathroom floors were very DIRTY. The room smelled and we needed air fresher & candles. Cockroaches we're found in the bathroom, which had an exposed opening from the bath tub spout.
We only stayed here because of hurricane Milton evacuation and we felt safe from the storm, but would never stay again.

The property is located in a commercial center which makes it convenient to restaurants and shopping, but lacking green space.

A very convenient, safe, and friendly location. There is no breakfast, but coffee is offered. The ice machine is non-functional, and there is no iron or hairdryer in the room. But if you are looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay, this is definitely it!

The people are wonderful. I noticed the toilet was not cleaned and toilet paper on floor. See pictures if I am able to attach. Also the waste basket was not emptied. I have no idea how clean the rest of the room was, but it seemed clean. Overall it was a pleasant and quiet stay.

The bed is the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve slept on in ages. The room is clean and has all the necessities we need for a good night’s sleep. It’s just across from a Walmart and close to the highway and restaurants.
