This is the worst motel I’ve ever stayed in. And yes, they can call it anything they want but it’s a motel. I should have known when I walked into the room and hit the light switch. Nothing happened. I went to call the front desk. No phone. The WiFi sucked so bad my computer couldn’t pick It up and I had to use my phone as a hotspot. The housekeeper was a b—ch. She complained at my dog that I paid $25 a day for. The “handicapped access” room is a regular room with a bar in the shower. SMH. Overall you couldn’t pay me to ever stay here again.
Had a well-needed rest at this hotel on march 4. For a budget hotel I was impressed by the extravagantly stylised front lobby and awed by the inviting (Olympic sized!) swimming pool beckoning night-time bathers with sassy fluorescent lights. A few things I found “off” upon our late-night arrival (technically 3.am) but I’m a magnet for supernaturaI occurrences - I should have noted that we rolled in during what is commonly known as ‘The witching hour.” On our way to to park the car in the driveway entrance lobby we were stuck behind a feral looking, deathly pale man unloading belongings from a taxi. He sported a ragged leather trenchcoat and 90’s FUBU jeans hung low about his waist. He sweated profusely as he coaxed the withered husk of what was once a women in her 20’s out. Strands of matted, bleached blonde hair clung to her face and a spiderweb of mascara ran down her hollow cheeks . I’ll never forget the death-stare he gave as we asked him to let us through - massive veins bulging from the sides of his unevenly shaved head. Not long after this encounter, we ran into him again, this time in the lobby, but with a SHOTGUN wrapped in a bath towel, headed to the room it appeared they would be moving into. An uncommon sight in my world..though probably not in the sunshine state! It was unnerving when we found ourselves trapped once again behind Mickey And Mallory in the morning as they threatened the saintly, patient staff with violence over meagre ATM fees. What excitement -the air of dirty southern atmosphere.. how I enjoy a splash of local colour! We found the room spacious with all the amenities. I was intrigued to find clumps of human hair throughout our room and splotches of sticky soda stains. Fun to fantasize about the guests before me though - perhaps a stressed business woman working late..the love of my life in a messy hurry?! Breakfast was also ace: various selections of my favorite childhood cereals in miniature boxes, muffins, coffee and green tea. mmm!…
They will make you feel like a great place with pics of grand staircase, and fountain. DO NOT BE FOOLED. Traveled there for a funeral, arrived and was told we were "near the courtyard" this turned out to be a strol through folks outside smoking dope and by the open windows of a resident. After finding our room in a different building than the one we were told, we entered to the strong stale ashtray odor filling the room. My wife need to go to the bathroom so she lifted the lid to discover STOOL in the toilet.We headed back to the office, past a woman dressed in bra and panties with an open robe....after explaining what we had found we moved into a room near the stair case and headed out to eat. (That is another story)We returned ready to shower and go to bed. Seemed like all was well until my poked her head out of the shower area. The TUB DIDNT DRAIN,ankle deep in shower water!!!We were exhausted, the morning of the funeral, up and dressed we went to see Manager, told the guy at the front desk and asked for manager, he told us he wasn't there, when pushed a little he went to talk to someone, came back to offer us $20 off our rate, again when pushed he said there was someone there but "he doesn't deal with things like this" so here we are... BTW I have left out the part about the employee in flip flops, sleevless t-shirt, and WILD hair. We certainly would not advise staying here. It is an EXTENDED STAY MOTEL.…
In short, the lobby is much nicer than the rooms. It’s almost deceiving. The rooms weren’t in “terrible” condition for the price, but there were a few things to be aware of. 1. The bathroom was not as clean as it could have been. Hair and stains, as well as needing upgrades. It looked as though they had tried to give the counters a face lift by painting over them, but the paint had chipped off and the you could see the dirty yellow underneath, all across. It was also dusty and dirty in places, which tells me they do not deep clean as they should. 2. The blankets were stained. One with large red spots. They were also incredibly thin. The comforter was more like another sheet. 3. We ordered pizza after a day at the beach. We ended up having to throw half of the pizza away because when we opened the box to get some more, after it sitting in the room awhile, there was a roach on top of the pizza. Outside of those things, if you’re just looking for somewhere inexpensive to stay for a night, and don’t mind the things mentioned, you’ll be okay. The people were nice, the lobby was pretty, the pool and landscape looked decent, the AC ran cold, hot water was sufficient. I personally will chose somewhere else to go in the future, but again, for those looking to spend little money and don’t mind outdated, a little dirty, and possibly some bugs, this place will suffice.…
Good location, with easy access to downtown. Neat settings, comfortable rooms with larger mini fridge than most hotels. Courteous front desk staff with large pool area. No gym though, so you’ll have to take a walk or use the pool for those exercise fanatics.
