This place was pretty run down. Other people were putting on great ratings and those were the main reason for booking here. The AC unit was extremely noisy, the toilet seat lid broke, and the shower curtain rod fell off. The bed was ok and there weren't any bugs. It wasn't worth the $120 a night they were charging.

The rooms were fairly clean. The air conditioners in both rooms didn't operate properly. One room had a a/c remote but it was hard to regulate the temperature with it. The other room didn't have a remote. Upon checking out I mentioned it to the front desk and he said that he was aware of the issue 😳

The street it was on was extremely noisy till late, and again early in the morning. If you must stay here, ask for a room towards the back of the property, although I doubt they will fulfill your request. They have no interest in helping people or any show of customer service. One definitely gets the impression that they just want your money- warm bodies in a bed, for lack of a better term. I believe I got a bug bite there as well. I arrived at 2am, as I got delayed in Tampa and unfortunately had pre-booked the room. The night clerk would not give me a late check out, not even 11:30am. (Even Motel 6 will let you stay till 11:30am if you ask nicely). Then when I was not fully rested in the morning, I saw him again as I was leaving, and I told him that I would've appreciate a little kindness in regards to the checkout time. He told me that they were fully booked for the night to come, so no one could check out late. Of course, that was a lie, because when I talked to the maid (who was waiting to clean my room), she said it was her last one. Listen, do yourself a favor, if you can afford it, pay an extra $40-50 and stay in a proper hotel, not a "lodge" which is really just a cheap, fleabag motel. Oh and there's a massive cell tower looming above the place.

What was that in the Rm 202 mirror???
This was a late last minute check in. I just needed a "nice clean bed to rest" and get a good nights sleep, then leave early the next morn. Mission accomplished. But the room otherwise, was old and dingy imo. The AC unit was loud, but didn't bother me as much. The tiny shower had hot water and was serviceable. I did NOT like that bathroom mirror, which I could swear I saw a light flash through its reflection! Wth!? So I covered it with a bath towel.. For the price, I got my rested sleep at least. One and done here!
