Good

I don’t know how this place gets any good reviews except for price. Very unclean and bad smelling for a non smoking room. Pay more for a better place, trust me.
A very convenient, safe, and friendly location. There is no breakfast, but coffee is offered. The ice machine is non-functional, and there is no iron or hairdryer in the room. But if you are looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay, this is definitely it!
The room was very clean, staff were nice, nice location, lots of food places around, good area in general. It says pet friendly but they will charge you a $50 deposit and $15 per dog they also have a special room for dogs. The dog room we were in did not stink. The only issue I saw was they could probably get some new linens like towels and the wash clothes they were kind of dingy and stained.Very affordable

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property is located in a commercial center which makes it convenient to restaurants and shopping, but lacking green space.
It was extremely hot at check in and bathroom window was open. This being Florida as well as having a paid-in-full reservation, I feel like they should have at least turned on air. It took at least 2 full hours to get the room cooled off
Front desk folks were great and room was a little worn but clean and comfortable.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
When I got my room, the AC was not working. I asked the receptionist if I could switch rooms and she would not let me. She came in and tried to fix it. But as soon as she left, it would stop again. I slept the whole night with NO ac in the hot summer sun.
The room was nothing fancy and served its purpose. A couple weeks before our stay I canceled our original reservation and booked a dog friendly room. I selected PAY AT PROPERTY. BEFORE ARRIVAL my card was charged for the original reservation which was $40 more expensive - allow me to add it was also the incorrect card.. Upon arrival the owner of the hotel said she would hold the extra as the deposit and would refund it upon check out which was fine, but she was rude and super annoyed that we needed a dog friendly room (hence the hole reason I booked a new reservation!). There are cameras outside of every room. One night the owner called down to the room and said we were parked in the wrong spot and needed to move our vehicle in front of our door. If that is a rule in needs to be made clear to all guests because someone was parked in that spot hence why we didn’t. I did get my refund but after the same lady walked down to inspect the room herself. The location was fine, room was fine, but next time I will look elsewhere because of the lack of customer service and rude owners.
