The breakfast was boring. Always biscuits/gravy, sausage and eggs. Pancakes or hash browns would have been a welcome change.
I did not check in because of the following :
Room was in terrible condition . Sort of looked like a dungeon in a bad movie. Not safe and not clean. In short unusable in my view so we did not stay. Also parking lot in poor condition ( some flooding)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I stayed with my friend for three nights no body came to clean our room.
To be honest this hotel exceeded my expectations, I thought it was more like those poor motels but when I enter to the room it was different. Beds very clean and very white sheets, the bathroom also super clean, all white and modern, towels were super clean and white. But what I LOVED the most is "NO PETS ALLOWED". Can't think of the idea that I have to sleep where a PET sleeps. I recommend this hotel 100%.
I did not use the internet or visit the pool side. My grandson visited the pool side and commented that it was nice.

Older hotel it shows on the outside. Remolded rooms somewhat . Old broken lamp left in room. Need new furniture to complete the room renovations.
Very very thin walls
Finding not my own hair on the pillow I was to be sleeping on, a quick look around found a snickers wrapper a flower pedal and heavy dust under the bed plus a broken table in the bedroom. Won’t ever be staying at this place again!
Entire property needs a significant over hall, cleaning and upgrade. Rooms were dirty, furniture needs replacement and deep cleaning

The Staff very nice upon check in and accommodating. The property is old/outdated. The bed was somewhat comfortable, everything in room worked like it should. Linens on bed clean, had a long hair on bath towel. A/C worked fine, on outside unit the cover was broken. Property needs a good power wash and painting and grounds need some attention, the photos are a bit misleading. Room drywall needs repair. Very close to downtown and foutain of youth is right behind property. Peacocks quack pretty loud in AM. On a budget this motel is worth a stay, but it was a bit much for what we paid. Upon check out I had asked front desk if we could stay parked on property to take trolley for an hr or so, lady said no. Not a big deal, trolley is right around corner and had parking. Now that we know the lay of the land. Would we stay here again? Yes, but it would need to be about $75 a night, not $200 plus. Breakfast was satisfactory; liquid eggs and boiled looking sausage links. About same as a budget motel. Not the Embassy Suits breakfast. Location is great! Staff accommodating upon check in. Trolly runs through the property, so you get the guy on megaphone talking about historical information.

There were no drawers to put our clothes.
The shower needed scrubbing and the drain needs Drano. The metal barrier on the sides of the bed frequently made noise.
The front staff were very polite and friendly.
The Trolley stop at the motel is very convenient.
The breakfast had variety of items.
