The staff was excellent. Enjoyed my stay.and wood stay there again. Room was dated but other couples in our group had updated rooms. So my guess is they are in the process of remodeling.

Easy one night stay
Front desk employee was easy to talk to despite it being late at night with easy directions to room. Though the room had a strong smell, at least the ac worked decently with how hot the room was when we first walked in. Good place for a single night stay.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Furnishings are a little outdated, but well cared for. Only minor issues I saw was a little rust on the tub, and a few hairline cracks in some floor tiles. Definitely would stay there again!

Good roadside budget inn
The motel staff was friendly, and the motel was pretty good. The shower water pressure was really high and could be adjusted. The floors weren't the cleanest but it's not too hard to just wear shoes. I'd stay here again for sure.

Rooms were clean, pool was pristine, location was easily accessible and walkable to Chili's restaurant which was a plus. Only drawback was the A/C unit was a bit on the noisy side.

Charming old-Florida Motel
Cute little old-Florida motel that has been meticulously maintained in its now retro styling. The rooms were very clean. The beds were comfortable. The staff at the front desk and the cleaning staff were extremely hospitable, and the pool was a very nice touch.

Bedding
This hotel does not wash the bedding when customers check out.As I saw the couple putting their belongings in the car getting ready to leave. I thought it was odd when I saw the housekeeper in the room they had next door. She was just making the bed and not putting new bedding on. however, people where nice.
