We enjoyed the area it was located in, very accessible with lots of food options nearby. The property is right next to a school and church which made it feel safe. However, the room could have been nicer and cleaner. Housekeeping only came on random days. There was an odd smell in the building. The tv was awful. One morning we woke up early to head to Disney and there was absolutely NO hot water. The entire building was out of hot water and it wasn’t fixed until later that night. Having to take an ice shower at 7am was horrid. The water issue was fixed by the time we got back at the end of the day, but then there’s more. The couple next door to us was having a domestic dispute all night long. We could not sleep without hearing a man and woman screaming in front of our window which eventually resulted in police being outside our doors. Not fun whatsoever. We wanted to love our experience here but sadly that’s just not the case. We will not be returning here.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at, very dirty, the rooms smell a lot of marijuana and the showers don't have hot water. I went to complain at reception because the water was cold, they said it's a problem that this hotel has with the water never being hot. I had to bathe my baby in cold water. I don't recommend it to anyone....

I picked this place due to reviews scoring a 7 on average with all combined. (I wish I knew which room the good reviews were about) I’ve stayed at 5 star rating according to reviews that were better than this one. Yes, it’s a very old property it seems, however old can still be good IF kept up properly. The beds were TERRIBLE! They were lumpy & as you sat or laid, it felt kind of like a water bed. I have many spinal conditions, I got no sleep on this terrible old mattress. The boiler broke & there was NO HOT water, yet was given no discount, as I’d presume that’s considerate & appropriate for such an inconvenience. Plus there was roaches. So if you have any food they will come out at night to eat it then hitch a ride in your suitcase, then you have a very quick infestation problem. The AC kept room sticky, humid. Unfortunately, I now get sick if I am not kept cool, I will throw up & feel like passing out. For $30 more, I couldn’t stayed at Marriott however, the one available was too far from my destination. Customer service is also considering treating your customers in a way that helps your business, not keep them away. We were not taken care of for the price I paid. I didn’t appreciate not being rested for a long day I had ahead of me.

This room checked off nearly all the boxes of what I look for in motel accommodations, with the only exception being that the plug in the tub does not seal so it's shower only, no soaking as I like to do. Also, no grab bars in the shower poses a risk for us older folks. Everything else is quite perfect for my needs.

the room was a little sketchy. the lock was ripped off the door and the faucet in the shower wouldn’t turn off, it had a bit of water running out the entire time we stayed here. it wasn’t super clean but wasn’t dirty, just looks like an old janky motel.
