“Keep on driving!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We arrived late on a Friday and noticed motorcycles everywhere and loud, booming music coming from a bar near the office. We were given our room key, carried our luggage up the stairs and found that the key card didn't work. We were issued new room keys, and opened the door to a room that reeked of cigarette smoke. It was supposedly a non-smoking room. The bathroom smelled of urine and the door did not close completely. There was hair on the bathroom floor along with several cockroaches. The sheets were threadbare and the towels were yellowish. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, but I was so freaked out by the cockroaches, I didn't sleep well. Around 3 am we woke to the sound of about 10 people partying and loud booming music in the parking lot near our vehicle. The worst motel experience of my life.

“You didn't want to sleep anyway.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2011

We drove up and saw all these motorcycles and should have left. The pool was green. Bikers rode around the courtyard the first night. The second night, there was a profanity-filled concert that we could hear at full blast with the doors shut. Finally the police came and shut it down. Our bathroom wasn't cleaned. Isn't there anyone in DeLand who inspects hotels?

“DISGUSTING AND HORRIBLE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2011

dont stay here!!! I dont care how cheap it is! i stayed in this nasty hotel the night before my wedding there was no hot water, mold in the showers, and stains on the sheets, carpet was old and nasty and the room stunk.. the room smelt so bad i had to open the door. . I tell everyone not to stay here. . and the service? what service?? they pay someone to clean those rooms?for what? cause there not clean!!! . Horrible place!!! but i do reccommend to go to a nearby hotel and go to the bar Crossroads they have at the hotel. nice owner, good lil food menu and great beer prices. the owner of this bar is seperate from the hotel and not jointed with them. check it out. but never ever stay at this nasty grubby hotel.

“Disgusting!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

What a dive!!! When we arrived the parking lot was full of bikes and people drinking, this was due to the bar that is attached to the hotel lobby. The lobby was very small and the doors were propped open with fans running to get the smell of the smoke out. This was also where you got your "breakfast". When we went to the room it smelled like urine. It was not very clean. The pool was green and moldy and was unable to be used. We walked in looked around and walked out. The photos make the hotel look decent, it is NOT!!! We returned the key and got our money back immediately. This is not a place for children or family. Don't waste your money!!!!
