What guests think

Across recent reviews of Suburban Studios Florence I-95, guests repeatedly cite serious cleanliness problems (including roaches and odors), worn or broken room features and appliances, and several facility shutdowns like the pool, alongside multiple concerns about safety around the property.

Feedback on service is mixed, with several guests praising friendly, helpful staff, while others report poor issue resolution, rude treatment, or difficulty obtaining refunds when problems arose. Room experiences also vary: multiple reviews mention nighttime disturbances and loud HVAC, but a few travelers found it quiet for a quick rest or convenient for events at the nearby soccer complex. Overall, expect a very basic, inconsistent stay and consider whether the trade-offs suit your needs.

Lavatory clogged, had to run to office for toilet paper, had to scrub the toilet seat, looked like someone stood on it with dirty shoes. Only one shower towel. We were too tired to run to the office again after 12 hour drive. The heating unit sounded like a Mack truck.

There was nothing unique about the Suburban. I have stayed at a Suburban before but never like this. Roaches, soiled linen, smoke smell, nasty curtains, rusty water. Thankfully I always bring my own cleaning products & water. I HIGHLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND 👎👎👎

I got an instant refund. People hanging around making it seem unsafe. I walked in the room and walked right back out to the service desk. This is the nastiest hotel I’ve ever seen. The room smelled just like urine and the outside was like a trash can, trash everywhere…disgusting is the best way to describe it.

This was hands down the worst place I\'ve ever stayed. It looked and felt like a trap house. The entire rooms floor was soaked, the particle board on the "kitchenette" was sticking out, not that you\'d ever want food in this place. Everything was grimy. Tops of stands had things on them. I\'m pretty sure there was blood in the sheets and pillow case. This was so disgusting. There was fighting outside at all hours. Stomping in the room above us until about 430am. Then the man that comes around to ask if you\'re checking out at 10 am when you don\'t need to leave until 12 was extremely rude to my husband. If i could give zero stars i would. The only positive was the chick at check in. I was very surprised by how bad this was because we like the owner\'s other hotel.

After we booked, we arrived at the hotel and were told they had no rooms available. They wouldn't refund our money because they said they didn't have internet either. Everything was terrible. The woman at reception treated us terribly. I don't think they deserve even one star.

Disgusting roach motel, I was given a dirty room upon arrival and had to ask from another room. The other room was hardly any better, housekeeping didn’t give new towels or change the bedding. It’s also in a bad area where sketchy people just hang around freely.

Room was horrible and and area was very unsafe. There were people sleeping in their vehicles all over the parking lot and we were very nervous. I should have known when we tried to check in and they had to unlock the lobby door for us. We checked out within about 20 minutes and found a nicer hotel down the road.
