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 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!

Property is in poor condition. Does not feel safe.
🌺i really love staying here! Theres no roaches which you see at alot other places, its comfy hers, its quiet, i have never had any issues the front desk staff are very nice. I had to have my remote fixed they brought me a new one immediately i enjoy the stay here every time!
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.
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.
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

You get what you pay for, if you can set your expectations you'll find a decent spot to rest.
The hotel was not maintained well. Breakfast was very basic just waffles cereal and after I fixed my waffles they said it wasn't anymore better to be used. Which made a another customer upset with me I only made one waffle per guest in my room. Staff was mostly friendly. But I would not recommend staying there to anyone unless they just needed a place to rest and they didn't have enough money. The beds were hard and left my back hurting.
I ended up leaving before the end of the night. there were holes in the wall. it reaked of smoke and bodily fluids. there were prostitutes walking up and down the parking lot offering services to me (and my wife). our uber driver told us we should leave it is unsafe. the worker would only talk to me from outside. i cancelled my entire evening plans and went home.... to unsafe and it made us miserable.
