Don't stay unless it is the last place in town

Sad
The room was clean but I had some bugs in my room and BR. I left a $50 yeti container in the fridge. Called 1st time, said they would check and call back and didn't. Did not rent that room out and Housekeeping only 1 in there. Called back the 2nd day, said they would check again and cal and didn't. Sad that people cant turn things in anymore.

The pictures that you have online of the lobby is not what you see when you walk in. I was so mortified by the condition of the hotel and the older of the lobby and the room. I did not stay one single night. A complete waste of money.

The room itself was fine but we had tenants on both sides of our room. One looked to be the maintenance employee and the other the cleaning employee. The cleaning employee was very loud during the night hours.

Property is very dirty and out dated. Lots of bugs in the room. We were there for football gameday. Location was great, easy parking right by the room. But not a nice place.

A Dump!
Far below Wyndham and Days Inn standards, this place is a dump. Cockroaches in the bathroom, a toilet not secured to the floor, 4 measly broken hangers in a makeshift closet, no in-room safe, a door that you could see light around the frame! There was no clock radio, no tissues or lotion, cheap towels and crappy little soaps and shampoo packets. The advertised breakfast was terrible coffee and old bananas. The parking lot is filled with broken down cars, boats and a tow truck. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable but the floors were dirty and I did not feel safe.

Our room smelled very musty and like painted-over mildew and cigarette smoke. It was obvious pets had been in there, my allergies went crazy.

The photos are misleading. The property has not been updated since it likely built. Roach infested. Rooms smell of cigarette smoke. I wish I could upload photos. Expedia should remove from their property listing.

At greatly increased rates because my stay happened during a weekend when there was an event in town, I would have at least hoped for a room that had a working TV and a smoke detector that wasn’t hanging by a wire from the ceiling. Or a room that didn’t have the faint but nauseating odor of cigarette smoke and beer. Or a room with hot — not just warm — water. Or someone at the front desk to answer the phone when I (reluctantly) had to ask for a late checkout. Alas, all that was too much to ask.

Look Elsewhere.
You get what you pay for. But for five times the regular rate for A UF game weekend is complete highway robbery. A place that appears to attract the unhoused and persons with addiction, with urine smells in and around is not the most conducive for a comfortable or safe stay.

Old old hotel, beds in rooms have noisy plastic mattress protectors on them. Toilet ancient and very low profile. Tub is very small and old. Funny that lamps have plastic protectors on their shades as though they were valuable. Appreciate being able to have a place to lie my head, maybe time to invest in some upgrades.
