My fiance and I stopped here on our way from NY/PA down to Florida. We checked in at an odd time (6 AM) and the woman at the front desk seemed unsettled by this. (I don't know why because the hotel is right off of I-95... I'm sure we can't be the first who have arrived at an unusual hour).... More

I have worked in the hotel industry and I vacation alot . I have never seen a hotel like this. THEY NEED... More

I have stayed here before and even gave it a good review in the past. Not this time. The room was decent, although the mirrors hadn't been cleaned. But the big problem was that twice I had to ask groups hanging out in the parking lot to keep the noise down. Each time, they left after I spoke with them,... More

All billboards and even the advertisement at the entrance to the hotel say $42.99 per night. But the front desk will tell you that is only if you stay a three night minimum and then charge you over $70 per night. The bed was horrible. Pillows, even worse. Bathroom tile floor all cracked up. Breakfast is included... coffee is absolute... More

We stayed at this hotel only because every other hotel witin 75 miles was booked. The lobby was a dump and so were the rooms. I was afraid to take off my shoes in the room. The shower did not drain well and I had water up past my ankles. The free breakfast was served in what appeared to be... More

No sooner had we walked into our room in the PET BUILDING , the phone rang. The desk clerk tried to tell me I owed the pet fee. I told him that I had paid it when I booked online and i wasn't going to pay it twice. Then we noticed an obnoxious chirping sound coming from an adjacent room.... More

The room was FILTHY, dusty, WALLS NEEDED WASHING, LIGHT SWITCHES WERE GREASY, GRIMY, old coffee filter left in the coffee pot. The rooms smell, We switched rooms because the first one was so filthy, but the second room was not much better, very smelly. I do not recommend this place.
