The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The young lady who checked us in was kind and helpful. The location was ideal for visiting a family member in the local hospital.
Unfortunately, the room was not clean, bugs plentiful and did not feel really safe after dark. Other than convenience and price, I could not recommend it.

This place is not in the best part of town. It doesn’t resemble what is shown in the photos. Fencing around parking area and the check in is done with the clerk behind plexiglass. Check in was fairly easy. The room is old. The bed was quite comfortable with fresh linens. The bathroom was clean. Old, thin towels but adequate. It was very loud with traffic right near our room. All in all, it met our needs for a place to sleep and shower
This is one of the need a room kinda places, very old, but was very clean.

The lady at the front desk was very friendly! The room smelled like mold but was pretty clean. I also really like that they have security at night, that definitely made us feel safer!

Staff were great. Very pleasant and helpful. The room was in disrepair, the toilet barely worked, the paint was stained. the tile in the bathroom was damaged. Beds (full sized, not queens) were OK at best. Outside noise was terrible.

Property is in poor condition. Does not feel safe.
Filthy, Smells like Pot. Toilet came off the floor. Only good thing i can say is the Employee in the front was a very nice lady and did her best to help us, and the breakfast was good and clean.

Paid more for less
Furniture in the room was falling apart and location of hotel was not the safest in town. The bed however was comfortable. I paid more for the room than I thought it was worth but that may have been due to the timing. It was Fl/GA football Saturday.

Get what you pay for
Front desk service was very friendly and professional. But the facility is in very poor condition. People asking for spare change in the parking lot. Unlighted halls and stairwells. As for cleanliness- there was a dirty wash cloth hanging in the shower. We left and went to a Hampton. That being said, it was half the cost of the Hampton. So if you’re feeling frugal and adventurous, go for it.
Was not allowed to check in.
Scottish inn was happy to have another black
Earlier this month
Magnusson did not allow the same exact black man access
They are literally next door to each other.
They are literally owned and managed
by the same group
...Similar to black and white water fountains.
I am truly hurt
