I reported this hotel to the ADA , I had to be put in an ICU/CCU for 2 of my disabilities the whole stay, I ask Chris the manger could I stay to the morn of the 15th I already paid around $300 for the 11-14th. She said, “can’t do it, fully booked,”it would have allowed me with my disabilities and hospital stay and the fact the refrigerator gave way and I fell, to get my things together, I feel as a person with disabilities I was not treated equally as the other permanent residence, this room was booked with Expedia. Expedia explained why would they book over you like that knowing you may need late check out for something like could what happened did…. I sent a friend cause she has patients in that area to please ask Chris to put the DND sign on my door knob, she took it down after my friend left, Chris is very difficult to work with after my friend ldid it after about it and ,I paid Cash for the 11-14, I expedia booked through Expedia for the 11-14 and I just simply ask for an extra day to check out the manager Chris said no we are fully booked, which they do not honor. Their refrigerator unit in the room with a frozen bag of Ice fell on me, I did not even complain, I just ask for 1 extra day since when you I’ll with my disability even with my 20/

Beware! Our room was disgustingly filthy and we couldn't stay there. Bed had hair all over it and the chaise lounger chair had stains on it. Bathroom door had a hole punched in it. After inspecting our room we got a refund and left the property.

The place is a dump, very filthy and noisy. The room above us had a huge knockdown fight with two guys, cussing and yelling throughout the parking lot. Just disgusting.

After checking in, decided not to stay.

The front desk staff was friendly. But the room, including the refrigerator and microwave were in bad shape and were not clean. The floors had not been washed. Everything was in need of a refresh. The amenities were not new and appeared to be used. The staff was nice and apologized and refunded my money. I did not stay. Would not recommend.

C grade hotel in Dunnellon.

It’s the cheapest hotel in the area so don’t stay there with high expectations. On the plus side Chris checked us in quickly and was pleasant but probably overworked as she just came from making up a room. Bed was comfortable but soft, TV, AC and frig worked. On the negative side the furniture is pretty beat, the cheap flooring really creaks and WiFi was very spotty if it worked at all. Everything was superficially clean but in real need of a deep cleaning. It was fine for a one night stay while passing through.

The floors were extremely dirty. When I spilled some water in the bathroom I got a rag to clean it up in the rag was totally brown with dirt so the floors weren't kept the air conditioner was very noisy and had lint and dust all over the coils No bed spread just lightweight sheet and was a cold nite. No blankets stored anywhere but if I found one I would have been afraid to use it for fear that it wasn't washed appropriately. The pillows smelled like men's cologne so not sure they were even washed
