Good deal for the price and location.
Nicely remodeled room with a nice, new comfortable bed and remodeled bathroom. Big room with standard amenities (microwave, TV, small frigerator, and wifi). Motel is off the beaten path but located right off I-95 with some convenience stores and fast food restaurants and gas stations close by.

Hotel as advertised is nothing like the real thing. Property is undergoing renovations and is not a place to stay. Perhaps in 6 months it might be habitable.

Not a good experience
Checked in and went to the room. Opened the door to a strong Clorox smell. Beds had 4 very small pillows and the beds and sheets were not very clean. Closed the door and behind the door was what looked like a shotgun shot against the wall and door. There was another hole beside the bed that looked like a shot. We turned around and left the hotel, did not stay.

We chose this property because it is listed as pet friendly. There is no information about the $15 PER PET FEE! There was a sign at the door and the desk about the fee, but no mention of it in the on-line description of the property. The desk person charged us $20 for two cats when I balked. People need to know about the extra fee when searching on-line. I would not have chosen the property had I known about the pet surcharge.

We stayed here on race weekend as it was the only reasonably priced hotel (it’s actually a shabby vintage motel). It’s difficult to believe they pass any inspections if all rooms look like 207 did. 1. Stale smoke odor upon entering. 2. Mini-fridge full of previous guest’s BBQ 3. Bathroom & vanity looked like an entomology lab; various dead bugs & insects on every surface. 4. Bathroom door would not close, broken toilet seat, tub stained w. an array of “earth colors.” 5. Used soap w wrapper in shower; wet towel on floor 6. Missing hairdryer in wall holder; no pot in coffeemaker 7. Walls were streaked with various shades of peach/coral/ salmon paint—like a hastily cleaned up murder scene. 8. Phone book from May, 2013; phone had no dial tone. 9. Carpet was soaking wet 3-4 feet into the room (gap under door; rained day before) The mattress was comfortable, the TV worked, light fixtures had operable bulbs. Skip the “breakfast”; enter pool @ your own risk (doubt it meets health standards if all rooms are as decrepit as 207).

The rooms are super gross.The couch was visibly stained - looked like something they picked up alongside the road. The room smelled like a 40 yr old ash tray. Burn holes in the cover on the bed and shower curtain. Paint on the shower walls is all peeling off. I slept on top of the sheets because I cant even imagine that place under a black light. I really considered going elsewhere even though we'd already paid. The AC was cold. You should spend the extra $50 and stay an exit to the north.

For the price this was disappointing. Close to the highway was our main selection criterion on our way down to Florida. One room wreaked of smoke (and probably weed). The other room also didn’t smell clean and we found a live bug under the pillow and there were burn marks on the cover blankets. We would not stay here again.

Clean? No. Friendly? Yes.
Smelled of cigarettes, towels weren’t clean, stains on the bedding, errant evidence of drugs (a pill even), and a very clear makeup stain on the blanket where someone’s face must have been pressed into. Otherwise, the staff were friendly, helpful, and ready to help with what they could. Left immediately after the first night.

Never stay here again. The room was filthy and smelled awful. The shower had no nozzle and it too was filthy. They charged 15 for my small dog while your site said it was 10. No idea why they charged anything since they obviously didn’t use it to clean the room

I understand this is a motel, but I shouldn’t experience anything like this when paying $80 for a room. When we walked into the room (which is non smoking) we got a huge whiff of smoke. There were cigarette burns all over the bed and blankets. There were spots and mold all over the curtains and all over the bathroom. It looked like there was mold on the wall, and there were certainly other questionable dried liquids on the wall too. The toilet looked like someone had just thrown up in it. The towels were dirty and also had cigarette burns on them. When we called the front desk about no toilet paper, she told us to go get our own. What? That’s not right. The shower hose for the sprayer was just hanging down. I’m sorry, but this was terrible. I’ve never had an experience like this at any other motel.
