I booked this hotel because it was close to Bush Gardens. The pool looked like there was mold growing on the bottom, black in all the cracks and crevices but the water didn’t feel gross so that’s something. The room was clean..ish. When I woke in the middle of the night I observed a (single, only one I can confirm I saw. However, where there is one there are many) roach in the sink which made me wonder; if there is mold in the pool and roaches in the room perhaps that’s why the shower tile was black and the carpet was dark. I would not stay here again and they should lower the rate and at every least fumigate!

The property was what I expected for 2 stars. The sheets were clean and we had housekeeping every day. The water pressure was good and the air was working. For the cons. There were only 2 small towels for 2 of us for 3 nights. The mini fridge was 1/3 full of ice. Like it needed defrosting. The tv screen had crayon markings on it. The WiFi was really slow.

Liked that the staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean and tidy. Microwave and small fridge worked well. There was no coffeemaker. The toilet was not secured properly and no bathtub stopper. Broken fire alarm. Paid $40.00 extra for the two dogs.

Just average

Room was old, but cleaner than expected based on outside appearance. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom fixtures were clean but floor needed a good cleaning. Towels were cery thin and worn. Average rating of '3', good for just an overnight stay but pricey for what we got.

This property is very dated and needs remodeling. It was the lowest priced rooms in the area on Expedia and that is the attraction so it attracts people struggling with life's issues. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were some issues in room cleanliness along with the dated accommodations.

Horrible

BIG Dead roach by toilet. Didn’t feel room or refrigerator was really clean. Bed was of as far as comfortable. But other residents were constantly walking, sitting on sidewalk in front of ALL room doors. Talking & laughing loudly until 2-3am EVERY DAY! And started right back up early the next morning. The only good thing is that the manager was very nice, understanding and helpful. But will NEVER stay there again, hurricane or not!
