"The pool paint at the bottom was chipped out, the neighborhood wasn't the best, the breakfast was good though... The rooms were dark colors, didn't had microwave. Room bathrooms were good condition but beds were not so good... The hotel is a one night thing, not a family stay hotel..."

"For the rate we paid, the hotel was a good value. The front desk staff was very friendly, and the room cleaning was great. There was a smell as you went down the hallyway (probably from the smokin g rooms), but the room itself was fine. No intruding noise. Just need a place to sleep at night since we were out and about most of the time. Excellent location that is convenient to all in the area."

"I ended up staying here on last minute because of a water issue at my home in Gainesville. Because of the price, truly I wasn't expecting much, but all I wanted was a hot shower, anything else was icing. And WOW, the grounds were beautiful. The lobby immaculate. Front desk personnel very friendly and checking was easy. When I got to my room, it was spotless. I was truly surprised. The only complaint I had was for some reason the bathtub flooring felt like I was gonna crash through it. And the obnoxious yellow walls. But all in all GREAT value. I'd stay here again and recommend to out of town guests for sure."

"Hotel was in great state of disrepair (exterior and interior), although it was clean. Beds were dreadfully uncomfortable (mattresses must have been over 20 yrs old), pillow were as flat as pancakes (but again, it was clean).
Site states they are pet friendly and we even phoned the hotel in advance to ensure the policy was still in affect - we were assured we could bring our pets (plural). No where on the site or via phone conversation was it mentioned that there is a pet deposit fee ... we quickly learned that they wanted $10 per day per pet and we were not happy about that. They did negotiatie down a little for us, but we still felt deceived. Wish we had paid more $ and in a nicer hotel."

"Nasty hotel with horrible odor in halls and rooms. We even had roaches. We slept on top of the bedspread the first night. The second day we bought Fabreze and that helped somewhat and bought sheets. For the price, we didn't expect ritzy, but we did expect cleanliness. We were in Winter Haven for a baseball tournament that our son was playing in. The team stayed in this hotel; otherwise, we would never have checked in."

"SLEEP IN YOUR CAR INSTEAD!: This was awful. It is the kind of hotel you have nightmares about. HUGE cockroaches and unidentifiable bugs in the already filthy bathrooms. No smoke alarm - cover off, battery gone and wire hanging. No air conditioning. Stains on all carpeting and walls. No security (side door handle was duct taped on). Broken glass on balconey. We had 7 people in our van and we should have slept in that instead of this hotel, even after a 1300 mile drive. Do your research and don't take a chance like we did - the lobbey is very deceiving..... we didn't even look at the free breakfast - our stomachs were still turning from the bugs in our room!"
