Common complaints include dirty or sticky floors, pests, musty or chemical odors, and bathrooms or fixtures in poor condition.

Litter everywhere. The whole place is poorly maintained. An extended stay, with a kitchen and not a single dish or utensil included.

When we arrive to check in and the clerk is behind a plate window with a small hole to help you, we did not feel good about the place. Our room was very basic but old and smelly. I checked the sheets and mattress for blood stains (always do at hotels) and there was no mattress pad on bed. Just the sheet. The mattress was stained and extremely old and extremely uncomfortable. The refrigerator did not work, the shower had terrible pressure, the air conditioner had sticky stuff on knobs and the filters were filthy. I never write many reviews but I felt other people need to know how awful this place is. AND… the worst part was I booked the hotel online seeing the beautiful pictures of it for $129 and I wouldn’t pay $29 a night. NEVER again would we stay here. Shame on you Hotels.com for even advertising this kind of hotel!! If we weren’t desperate for a room, we would have left immediately 😡

I believe there should be an effort to put people with dogs in one building to keep the noise level agreeable for others who have no pets or quiet pets like cats. Between the dogs and the loud music next to the room I had it was VERY difficult to get rest or hear tv unless I chose to act inconsiderate like the neighbors and put volume of tv up as loud as it would go. I did do that several times till they finally go the mesage. The walk ways and stairs are unsafe once they become wet. Adhesive strips that allow track should be placed at least on stairs before someone falls.

The host was great! He made sure check in went smooth. My friend left her glasses and he shipped them out the next day for us. I felt safe with the gate entry. This location is convenient to everything. I will be booking again!

Overall I would say this is a good budget property. It definitely had some cleanliness issues. The carpets were just filthy. There was no deadbolt I think this is the only hotel I've ever been and where I did not have a deadbolt. But overall I would say it is a decent place and I would stay there again.

The building looked fine from the outside, but upon closer inspection, there was trash all around the building, used condoms on the stairway, rats seen on the balcony area and the advertised pool was closed and green. The room seemed clean enough, but everything was in need up some updating. There was no remote for the TV, so we couldn't turn it on. The smoke detector started chirping in the middle of the night. If the batteries were changed every 6 months as recomended, this would never be a problem. Because this hotel has a kitchen in each room, it seems to have become basically, long term housing for its residents.

I think people live in this hotel…The floor in the room was filthy. The shower did not work. The furniture is outdated and anywhere you see a crack on the wall was repaired with duck tape. The police were their twice in my 3 day stay, what for I don’t know. However, the beds and pillows were comfy.

This place was horrible. Stains on the walls, walked barefoot in the room after a shower and my feet looked like I never bathed. Sat on the mattress and it completely compressed, sheets were dirty in one of the beds, jetted tub was a joke, didn’t work, tub itself was cracked, bathroom floor was gross covered with some type of film of filth. Had to buy $50 worth of cleaning products and clean the room just to be able to stay in it. Due to the fact that I’m a single mother, I didn’t have the extra money to book another hotel elsewhere. This place was horrible and pretty much ruined the trip never again.!!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were 'ok'. The bathrooms appeared well used, with some of my family refusing to step into the tub (matt was dingy brown, curtain had holes, mold). There were dead bugs in the corner and paint chipping off the wall. I had a bath matt on the floor and the door caught on it. When I pulled it from under the door, moisture damaged wood cam off the bottom of the door. Sheets appeared clean. Some neighbors were up late playing music, smoking, drinking (bottles on the balcony), and talking outside well past which prevented us from sleeping much. Marijuana odor was strong from the rooms nearby.

This place was filthy. It smelled, the floors were literally slimy, and we saw at least 3 live roaches while there. There was a stinky wet/damp/dank atmosphere to the point where we left our personal items and luggage in the car! We had no choice because it was an FSU Graduation prepay. We ended up buying our own towels and bedding as we were so grossed out by the rest of the room. We used their towels to walk on so we didn't have to touch the floor and they were full of dirt and dinge when we left. We left a night before our rez ended because we literally couldn't stand the thought of staying another night. The owners/management should be ashamed to even offer accomodations in this condition, and Expedia should not support this business. Took pix and will likely report to whomever governs hotels. Do not stay here unless you enjoy absolute filth. We did not bother to alert mgmt because it seemed to be their accepted norm, it was THAT filthy. Just ick, we should really demand a refund.

The guy that checked me in seemed annoyed that I was checking in. It seemed he wanted to go back to whatever he was doing before I got there. He gave me the papers to sign through a tiny window slot and while I was signing he put the keys of the room there and left. There were 2 keys with 2 different room numbers. So I rang the bell to ask him which of the 2 were mine. He was annoyed and at that point I wasn’t too pleasant either, grabbed my key and left. The room wasn’t bad, beds were comfortable and it was nice it had a full fridge etc. But the floor was soooo dirty it was disgusting. I took a shower and put my shoes back on so I wouldn’t touch the floor at all. AC in the room worked great. We woke up and left. I don’t think I’ll be staying there again.

Sink and shower not draining well. Dirty, unkept property. Bed and pillows terribly uncomfortable. Had to wear sooks, they were black and wet from the floor. Dont know where the moisture was coming from. Relitive to the price point, in comparison to other properties it was cheap. It should have been a red flag.

For the price you get what you pay for. We were lucky to get a room that they had put a coat of paint on and that's all I have to say about that. We did see some bugs.

The cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. The floors were disgusting as shown in the attached photo of my white socks after walking in the room without shoes for about 3 hours. The bathtub was disgusting (see photo). The toilet had a very weak flush and required intervention. Hot water was intermittent. There were wires hanging from the ceiling, presumably where a smoke alarm was missing. The front desk staff were friendly, however, when I called them in the afternoon to request somebody to address the toilet, they said they would send somebody but nobody ever came until I called again the following morning. I wouldn't stay there again. This time I didn't have a lot of choice because I was evacuating my home due to an hurricane and other places were booked.

This place was absolutely disgusting. Dirty all the way around. The “white” door was completely covered in dirt/ black stuff. Bed sheets were dirty. Random guy who was definitely on something walked up to my boyfriend in the parking lot asking him what he could do for him or if he needed to get anything. Area did not feel safe at all. We weren’t in the room 2 minutes before finding a new hotel and getting a refund.
