Clean room - Spencer’s coffee across the road. I’d take a clean motel room at a lower price and pay for a better quality breakfast any day over a “continental” at a higher priced chain. Perfect for a comfortable sleep stop on the road between Florida and home

Needed somewhere that felt quick, clean, and safe. Parking lot is well lit. Overnight, the office is locked so you have to speak to attendant through a little window, and it was a little hard to hear him, but check in was quick. The room we stayed in seemed updated fairly recently. The whole building seemed that way actually. Single queen bed room, only 2 pillows. Soaps weren’t fancy or anything, but it’s enough if you’re just stopping through. If you’re bougie, bring your own comfort items lol.

Parking convenient. Room very clean. Bathroom looks like it was recently renovated. Bed comfortable. Credit card machine not working, so had to pay in cash, but he gave us a small discount for the trouble. No lamps bedside—only light was a very bright light above the bed, which caused a glare on the TV. No Kleenex.
