Thus is an older motel that has been gone through top to bottom and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Sneads florida does not seem to be a vacation get away spot unless you are a fishermen. We were there for dragboat races and for that the hotel was perfect and if I wanted to fish lake seminole I would use no other. The only downside to the motel is no pool for the kids if you are seeking to entertain them while at the motel.

The hotel owner was very polite and kind. He allowed us to check in earlier than the check-in time just because we had arrived early. He gave us brochures that we used to find shopping and restaurants. The room was clean and included a modern microwave, large mini-fridge, coffeemaker, flat screen tv, digital wall air conditioning and blow dryer. The toilet had a sanitizing sticker and the floors were clean and mopped. The towels and sheets were clean and the mood lighting was fantastic! The pool...

Clean and really appreciate the fridge with a separate freezer as we travel with medicine that needs refrigeration. Bed was comfortable but could use a blanket. Door has gap that lets bugs in and lamp outlets need tightening so plugs stay in. I mention these things so the owners are aware and can fix them. We love staying here every year.

Beautifully quaint 50s-style highway motel. Olivia is a delight to speak with and offered help. We stayed in Pinky La Rue and it was absolutely wonderful. The bed was very comfortable, TV HUMONGOUS and it looked like it was live action!!!
