• Rooms were clean.
• They charged me 9.99 for some type of fee and waved the fee for an attractive lady that checked in later.

“Motel was very nice the only problem we had was the hallway to our room on the 3rd floor had the worse smell that
I have ever smelled.”

• The pool.
• It smelled like cigarettes and beer.

“The staff was very nice but the hotel smelled of cigarette smoke and stale beer. They had no cribs available for infants. We did not get a chance to enjoy the pool though it did look awesome. The location was great and very convenient!”

• Location.
• Hotel charged separate resort fee/day when hotel was not near resort quality.

“However, I did not expect the hotel to be so low quality for the extra fee charged! The elevators are really slow, the carpet always looks dirty & the rooms were really humid despite the AC. Don't think you could argue against paying the extra fee even if you did not use the resort features that would be basics for other hotels (pool, pool towels, WiFi.). At the restaurant, I had ordered breakfast with eggs, toast, & tater tots. There was a long hair in my eggs and a shorter piece of hair on my tater tots! Put some nets on in the kitchen people! On the plus side, the hotel greeter was really nice and the restaurant's breakfast buffet is good. Overall, I would not recommend this place for anyone.”

• The pool area was quite the party spot.
• There was a $5 resort fee that you had to pay directly to the hotel and was not disclosed until checkout!

“The hotel was convenient to restaurants and shopping and was easy to access from the Turnpike. For an older hotel, the rooms are kept up and clean, but a little dated. Great for a family on a budget, lots of activities like the pool, arcade, and tennis courts! Overall a decent experience, except for the hidden $5 "resort" fee that was not disclosed until I went to check out! I tried to argue about it.”

• Nothing.
• Everything.

“Everything was nasty from the towels to the bed sheets. The tissue looked like it was used and put back in the box. The water from the sink and faucet smelt weird. The air conditioner was old and cut off at random times. almost everything in the room was broke or dirty.”

• Layout was good, pool available, restaurant in house.
• Too far from airport and port where we needed to be resulting in too much additional travel costs.

“Hotel was adequate for our needs, and location was too far from Downtown. Food was good, service was very good.”

• The pool area was nice.
• It is located in a rough neighborhood. I was a homeless person sleeping from my window.

“The game room and the kids room are currently being remodeled. The hotel was ok. I would stay here again.”

• Room very attractive, roomy and comfortable.
• One elevator was broke down the other barely worked you didn't know what floor you were going to end up on.

“Good location close to I=95 and Florida turnpike away from the Downtown congestion. Restaurant had great buffet in evening service very slow however for breakfast had a great waiter, never let the coffee cup get empty.”

• Nothing. There are no redeeming qualities about this hotel for the price.
• The hotel was dirty throughout, the internet didn't work, and the staff was indifferent.

“We stayed here because it was the only hotel with an open room. It was not a 2-star hotel. The staff was lethargic when we checked in. The carpet in the halls was filthy. We got a "suite", but it felt more like a hotel suited for seedy whores. There were bits of trash and crumbs throughout the room and along the edges of the carpet. The carpet was stained and felt so dingy on our feet that we wore sandals as we walked around. The furniture was probably 30 years old and the TV stands were scratched and had large chunks taken out of their bases. The wireless internet did not work. Then, in the morning they wanted to charge us an extra $5 for the amenities, including the internet. The bath water was brown, and the drain was clogged so that you were almost up to your calves in brown water before your shower was done. The beds were okay, but even in the suite, there were 2 double beds instead of two queen beds or one king. At one point during the night, a hotel employee used his access card and entered our room announcing he was "here for the party". We noticed that even though the hotel was booked full, there were several employees who were using access keys to get into rooms. One of the elevators didn't work at all. The working elevator had buttons falling off of the panel and the lights didn't work. The room was also filthy with dirty carpet and smudge marks all over the walls. This hotel was terrible. Do not stay here.”

• The pool, hammock and outdoor scenery.
• Ghetto environment- dirty surroundings. Not feeling safe.

“Upon arrival, my partner and I were drawn to the aromas wafting from the restaurant. Once checked in however, we were discouraged by the smells emanating from the hallways which was something like an ammonia mop used on a wet carpet. We couldn't escape it. The overall appearance of the common areas was worn and in need of repair/replacement. Tile would be much cleaner and easier to keep that way. The carpet was old and smelly and there seemed to be a system in use to freshen the stale air. It just wasn't masking the truth of the matter. The garden where the Tiki bar and pool are located was our oasis and found a hammock that we nestled in for over an hour. This was the best part of the hotel stay as this is where most of the money and energy is spent, obviously. It was beautiful.”

• There was decent activities area inside the hotel.
• The overall quality of the hotel is outdated as far as rooms.

“The hotel staff in my opinion was as professional as I have experienced there was a lot of visible hores play happening amongst the employs during times of customers check-in. Unorganized in that manner as well. The rooms were outdated as far as the TV, dressers, the iron blew every fuse in the room and the were unsafe use of extensions cords. Overloaded cords.”
