The room was clean and comfortable, staff were extremely excellent
The staff was great, she was really great. 5 stars to her!.
1* make bigger room numbers so you can se them from the parking.
2* I dit not like that they take ”deposit” when you are a Expedia customer and you pre paid the room.
*the need to level up the interior when they have 2 stars
Friendly staff and for the price, a very nice comfortable room.

The staff are incredible here. They go above and beyond for your needs there’s such limited parking around the room that I’m sometimes forced to park at the end of the parking lot. Also, you can be prepared to wake up abruptly from anyone outside. They slam their doors and the talking in general is somehow intensifying
The room was cleaner than most.
The bed sheets were clean and comfortable.
The shower was updated.
We were gone most of the day really just there to sleep and shower.
Clean enough, with minimal toiletries. The rooms are quiet. Was exactly what we needed for the night.

Breakfast is a roll and a cup of terrible coffee. Don’t count on that! The room was fine, and beds were very comfortable. Good cheap stay on the run

If you want my honest opinion for me its about the people not the place.If the people are good people and treat you right i can overlook certain aspects of cleanliness or property conditions.I would much rather go to a place with imperfections and good people.These people were good to me.Love is everything.
We stayed 2 nights during the tropical storm, non smoking double room. Very clean, didn't smell muggy like some motels. Didn't see any bugs. Staff is very accommodating and welcoming. Beds and bedding were super comfortable. Even had a little coffee maker with a little packet of coffee. Always felt very safe. I've stayed there before and they always remember me.

Front staff was very nice. Room was basic and older, but very clean! It’s on a busy road so it’s a bit noisy overnight. Breakfast options are limited. But overall it was what we needed at a good price.
The room is in much worse condition than the photo shows. Also had to put $100 deposit down which I was informed I couldn't get a receipt because I was leaving early the next morning and no one would be there to give me one…. On a very busy road and a sketchy part of town. The pros….. Close to the airport, very hot water and you can’t hear the road noise also the pool area looked clean and nice. All in all would not stay here again.
