Nothin fancy, but clean and comfortable
It looked a little rough pulling up but for a cheaper place it was clean, everything worked and beds were clean and comfortable. For someone who usually stays at the bigger brand hotels but just needed a place a sleep as we raced in town late and had to leave early it was great. Nothing fancy but a good clean place if you’re looking to rest your head.

Not too bad
Very nice pet friendly hotel. Staff was super nice. The was only concern is that I slipped and almost fell in the bathtub. Should take care of that in all the rooms. Also, the continental breakfast was lacking anything remotely healthy. Add some fruit and hard boiled eggs.....

We got here way earlier than check in and allowed us to check in after our cruise arrived. I will stay here every time I come back to Orlando.

Dated and damp
Good staff but the hotel is dated. Room felt damp and the dog's collars felt like they were damp in the morning even though they were not in aby water the previous day.

Safety an issue?
The desk clerk said go around the back for easier access to our room. We went around to the back entrance and there was an unsavory character in a vehicle with the windows open smoking pot. His vehicle was right at the rear door. Needless to say, I did not feel safe at this property.

Staff was awesome! Room was clean.
The door has about a 2 inch gap at the bottom and the lock on our ground floor window was briken.
The entire hall smelled off microwaved fish

Motel is dingy. First floor is actually below grade. Linens were cheap and well worn. Did not want to walk barefoot on the carpet.

Good value
The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. It was nice to have the small refrigerator in the room. The only suggestions I would make is to have the TV tuned to the Guide, and make sure there are enough towels, 2 towels per person, in the bath room. The breakfast was excellent. With a full occupancy, there needed to be more than 1 choice of juice. Also, for Sunday morning, the cream cheese and yogurt were running low.
