Disgusting, do not stay here

This hotel is absolutely disgusting. The moment we walked in the hallway reeked of weed. When we opened the door, it instantly smelled like mold and mildew. There was black mold in the bathroom. And it looked like one of the beds had already been slept in. The deadbolt on the door was completely broken off and we felt unsafe all night. We reached out to both the hotel and Hotels.com for a refund, but we’re unsuccessful. The hotel was fully booked and we cannot get another room.

Did not feel safe

Neighbors were yelling until 6-7am, couldn’t sleep. The swing lock on the door was broken and the hotel was in a bad neighborhood, giving us concerns all night about someone breaking into the room. Bathroom needed a more thorough cleaning. Halls smelled like animal pee.

Perfect room, if you like cat pee

Just could not stay in the room, it smelled so bad, like pet urine. Hotel employee agreed it was a problem but said no other rooms were available; he would have refunded the visit but it was not booked through Best Western. I ended up finding another place to stay.

This was no way worth $410 for one night. The ratings on expedia were false. The place was filthy, run down and furniture in the room was dirty. Cobwebs hanging in the curtains. I feel like I was robbed by this false advertisement and rating. Shame on this place. I have pictures to provide.

Although they are working on upgrading the carpet throughout the building, my room was filthy. It appears they dropped the ball on room cleanliness to focus on the carpet project. Dirty carpet iny room glass table was not cleaned with child smear marks across it. I had an insect crawl across the bathroom floor while I was trying to relax in the tub. DISGUSTING!! I stayed at less expensive hotels throughout Florida that outshined this property! Do not stay if you can avoid it.

The location is good, the beds are comfortable… finding hospitable, competent staff may be the challenge here. Having stayed here previously, our expectations were set and upon arrival we were informed the elevator was out of service and we’d have a room on the third floor. That was only the beginning of the series of unfortunate events…

Booked they hotels.com and hotel would not honor reservation. Took an hour between multiple staff and a manager and two hotels.com reps before they finally gave me the room I paid for back in August. Hotels.com and the hotel itself didn't offer an apology or any kind of credit for the hastle they put me through.
