This is a motel that is cheap and okay to stay at for 1 or 2 nights. The bed was okay, the sheets were clean and I didn't see any crawling bugs. The mini fridge was a good size and kept my water cold. The motel is in a great location, not too far from Busch Gardens, and near a lot of restaurants and the Premium Outlets. There's a lot that was bad. The carpet was very dirty and stained. The two small pillows on the bed were flat. The AC unit was good at cooling the room but it was very loud. It made whining and squealing noises. The shower was the worst part. It was too dirty to use, but at least the shower curtain was clean. One washcloth that I was given had a red stain. There's a dead roach under the sink. The pool was closed, and management said that it gets too cold at night to have the pool open. There are many people that sit on the balcony and look like they live there. The motel is next to a train track. At night I heard at least 3 trains go by. I live next to an airport, and the noise of the train sounded like 5 planes continuously going by. Sometimes the noise of the AC drowned out the noise of the train.
