This is a place to crash one night. The bedroom wasn’t dirty but it had a subtle smell in the carpet. The hallway is a different story with the smell being strong and musky. We picked it just because it was close to downtown. But for the price you can get a better one a bit outside the downtown area. Also, make sure you have earplugs handy. The road next to the hotel is very loud.

The place its so outdated the carpets are so dirty that smells old and it looks like a homeless shelter than a inn. The. Building is breaking apart. The location its ok across the street from publix and right next to a taco bell. And for that price its so expensive .

On the plus side: The hotel in centrally located. It is very close to downtown as well as many shops and restaurants. There is a free breakfast that was good. On the negative side: The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade. The rooms were clean . But the furniture is very dated. Also, there was a fishy sort of odor in the room. I went across to Publix and bought a room deodorizer to help offset the smell. It is fine for a short stay. But, it could be improved.
