Grove City Motel

Please do not stay here. This location is not as described. The man who answered the phone when I checked in seemed fine. Nothing wrong there. The room was a total disgrace. It was advertised as having a pull out couch. This is not true. There is a broken futon. It is also advertised as sleeps 4. Two people cannot sleep on an average sized futon. The tow twin beds were very broken down and one of the mattress covers had blood or maybe coffee splashed on it (I didn’t get close enough to make the call on what the substance was). There was a bandaid holding the outlet plate cover to the wall and it had been painted over. The property was also a mess. The pool gate was broken and on the ground (this is really unsafe overall). The furniture by the pool was all broken. There were multiple air conditioners just hanging out behind the rooms in the areas where you would walk to the pool or use the advertised grill (there were a few grills, none I would recommend using). There was a tampon just on the ground. Weird wiring and things from the rooms. Overall, I would really just like my money back but whatever. We ended up leaving less than 24 hours after check in.

Joe was very nice and helpful. Cottage was average. Bed was comfortable. No bugs ;) Everything works,TVs & appliances. Accommodating for our 2 dogs. The pool was within walking steps from the cottage door. Coffee/breakfast shop right next door. Mexican restaurant within walking distance. Lunch Box across the road. 10-15 min drive to Manasota Key, Beach & the state park and other nice restaurants. Property was being cleaned up from the storms, def making progress.

The hotel needs updates but is well located , have a nice pool with heater, the bed was confortable, the bathroom needs some updates , the room have kitchen , refrigerator and microwave which was very nice and usefull , the person in front desk was attentive when we arrived that is why I gave that grade

Didn' t like the parking spaces... ruined my bumper on a big rock to the side of parking space. The rooms themselves were excellent for the price!

Futon in living space has had its day. Mold in coffee maker. Dirty dishes. No electrical plug in bathroom. Terrible internet. Outside needs major attention.

The fleas outside made it unbearable to enjoy the pool, check in took 30 minutes because we couldn’t get ahold of anyone and the office was closed. The bathroom shower didn’t drain at all hardly , there was mold in the bathroom. Overall it was extremely disappointing. The only compliment I can give them is the fact that we did wake up late and didn’t have everything packed at check out time and they were very understanding about that.

Joe the manager was a great host, he seems to be doing the best he can with the mess he has to deal with. The exterior is filthy with stuff all over the grounds which basically just needs to be cleaned up a ladder against a pole I guess to deal with some issues wires down out our back door overgrown foliage etc Dirty door going in room needs. Inside worst part plastic mattress cover on bed, Plugs don’t work here and there an extension cord coming from behind refrig to plug in stuff I guess. Toilet leaking or something rug around toilet always wet We should have not stayed we were tired and didn’t have energy to find something and it was a quick 2 nights in Englewood and had a big lab with us, hard to find place on moments notice Disappointed in Hotels.com that they list such a poor property because now I have read almost all the reviews and realize it was a big mistake to rent this place It has possibilities for sure and we kept saying Omg why don’t they just clean this place up 😜 Really nice pool out back but wires down on ground to get to it Enough said please read all reviews and probably not stay here

Staff was very helpful. Property could use some outside clean up and maintenance

Slightly disappointing. We made the reservation for a 1 night stay. Did not want to spend a lot of money for 1 night due to the fact we would not be there most of the stay. Just spending the night. The property was overgrown with vegetation which wasn't inviting to start with. The units are set up with full kitchens. The room was spacious but very dated. The air conditioner did not work but luckily was not needed due to a cool evening and ceiling fan in the bedroom. The shower head was leaking and half effective distributing water. Overall I guess you get what you pay for. Probably would spend the extra money to stay elsewhere.

Very quite and the kids loved the pool very good location

Checked in but did not go to room until couple hours later. Key did not fit. Fortunately they left door unlocked. They left another key. It fit door knob but not deadbolt. Outside lights not on. Saw roaches. Mold in shower. Never staying there again.

The bed was fairly comfortable and seemed to be clean. The A/C cooled well. Pretty much everything else needs some help. The entire unit smelled strongly of urine and needs a serious deep cleaning. No one there to talk to, when we left the next morning. Sign said they open at 10am

Zero towels, no rags. Someones belongings dispersed here and there, dirty dish in sink when I walked in. Surfaces clean enough, picture in bathroom had a quarter inch of dust on top tho. And a random snail trail across the couch. Cheap though, a/c worked well, but sounded like a 7.3 diesel

The blinds didn’t fit the windows, the walls were disgustingly filthy, it stunk, we reserved it that morning. Got there around 9pm girl went in first to make sure it was cleaned????? A joke. There was a wad of purple gum stuck to the side of the table that was so old it was hard as rock! The toilet felt like it was going to fall off. Bed was very uncomfortable and pillows were flat. Fridge was very rusty looking. There was a hole in the wall with exposed wires that were capped. I wouldn’t have given even 1 star it was that bad! Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

The pictures must be outdated because while they show a very simple motel, the reality of it is, I’m not sure this should be a functional establishment until some work is done. Amenities included a full sized fridge and stove which was nice. We were given three tiny hand soaps and a half used travel bottle of shampoo. The floors turned your socks black so we wore our shoes the full stay. I believe there was black mold throughout the shower in the large cracks that were poorly recaulked. There’s no vents in the bathroom so the expectation is that you open the tiny window, unfortunately there’s no screen and you’re within view if anyone is out back. The blinds didn’t fully cover the windows so picture frames were set in them to try and provide privacy. There was no check in or out instructions. A text was sent to me on the day of check in that said my key was sitting in the unlocked room. I have no idea what check out instructions were so I left the keys where they were when we got there. I don’t typically write bad reviews but we were stuck staying at this motel because there was no other places to go once we got there. I spent close to $500 on a place I felt uncomfortable in and I don’t want anyone else to get stuck doing the same. We even went out and bought towels and pillows because the ones provided smelled so bad. It could be a super great place if time and money were put in, but right now, I’m very surprised they are allowed to rent rooms especially at the price.

Stayed in the cabin. Cute place, comfy and clean. The shower was hot and the air conditioning was cold. No frills, but exactly what we were looking for.

We loved this little place! Quiet and clean. Can’t wait to go back and stay again!!

The room was filthy and the toilet didn't flush. When we complained about it, the owner denied that it was not clean and said the toilet was working. We showed her the proof and asked for a different room, which she said she did not have. We cleaned up the mess ourselves. She then said we could just check out because we were complaining too much and that she already rented OUR room to someone else! This motel was great under the prior owner, but this new owner is HORRIBLE! I also called during the hurricane to see if they had water or power and she said no water but she was still renting rooms, which I'm pretty sure you are NOT supposed to be doing!! Sketchy, sketchy!! We will never stay here again!

Our stay was great. Office staff was prompt. Room was clean and close to beach. Quiet area close to Walmart. Well definitely stay again.

The room is nasty and unuseable and there's noone on site at night. There is no curtains in a street level street facing room, used dirty sheets on the bed, the sleeper bed can barely be pulled out and used in the small space, there are no blankets for the sleeper sofa, no towels, odd odors and stains... we will be leaving tonight and not staying...

The hotel needs updates but is well located , have a nice pool with heater, the bed was confortable, the bathroom needs some updates , the room have kitchen , refrigerator and microwave which was very nice and usefull , the person in front desk was attentive when we arrived that is why I gave that grade

Couldn’t hear any noise with road being close. Slept great

clean and spacious.

Futon in living space has had its day. Mold in coffee maker. Dirty dishes. No electrical plug in bathroom. Terrible internet. Outside needs major attention.

The room was clean enough. The walls are so thin you could hear the neighbors talking. Had a coffee pot but no coffee cups. Overall it was okay for one night.

bathroom stall needs renovating. The worst part is the bed. the matress is still wrapped in plastic, not only did it make a wrinkling sound every time I turn, the plastic makes my back sweat and very difficult to get a good night's rest.

needs renovating. The sofa is worse than those in the thrift store. The towels are substandard. The bed is wrapped in thick plastic so that every time you turn, you make noise. The plastic makes my back sweat and very difficult to get a good night's rest.

No working tv.

Awesome experience! The manager was so very nice, accommodating, understanding and professional.

Went to Englewood to visit family for Charlotte County fair the stay was great check in and out was very simple and easy

I had a reservation and they didn’t give me a room, and they charged money from me, I don’t know if I will get refund.

The property texted at 5:30pm on Sunday, the night before 2:00 pm check in on Monday to tell us we had no room!! This is a small beach community and there were no other options. Our trip was ruined.

The old saying you get what you pay for definitely pertains here. I rented a King Bed with sofa sleeper room. The day I was checking in, I got a call saying they changed my room to 2 TWIN beds. Asked if I was going to get a discount? I was told No, same price! The room was in desperate need of a repair. There are no outlets in the bathroom to blowdry your hair. The refrigerator door was so dirty I didn’t like touching it. There’s a few dishes, but no dish soap. A coffee maker but no coffee or filters. The shower curtain was all ripped up. The whole place looked unkept. It was a place to sleep at best.

The fleas outside made it unbearable to enjoy the pool, check in took 30 minutes because we couldn’t get ahold of anyone and the office was closed. The bathroom shower didn’t drain at all hardly , there was mold in the bathroom. Overall it was extremely disappointing.

here was simply no one to check-in, there was a contact number that the attendant did not find my reservation. bad experience.

Got there to check in and they had book our room to someone else. So we didnt get a room. They have done this twice. We will never stay there again.

Joe was super friendly and very helpful.

Walking distance to a excellent margarita bar close to the beaches laid-back cool place

Not much to look at but, WOW! You can tell that things are being redone and improved. GREAT location and great accommodations. Had a wonderful stay! Very central to everything also.

It was very convenient we had a Long Beach day and the service was great he called and left key for check in . There was grocery stores right down the street and a bar restaurant if we wanted to go and right next door was a breakfast cafe. They could clean up the landscaping weeds etc.around buildings to look more attractive to the eye but overall I would stay here again.

Easy, breezy experience at a old school beach motel. Everyone was freindly. Quick access to Manasota Key. My family and I enjoyed the stay.

Really close to everything we wanted to do

Came to town for a wedding and stayed in the cottage for a weekend. Great location, great room, Joe was a very responsible manager, and the breakfast place next door was a Major plus!! Super close to drive to the grocery store, bars, and Venice beach.

Very quite and the kids loved the pool very good location
