Clean room with clean floors! The bathroom was spotless. It’s a 60’s era motel updated with a modern shower, sink and toilet. The room has a varnished wood lath ceiling — very safe place to stay, close to universities and FL Memorial Hospital. Courteous and friendly management.

Very helpful and kind at check-in . Clean room with very clean, rugless floor , comfie bed , refrigerator , microwave , hairdryer. We went in a very cold spell and the room heater worked very well and our room was toasty. Coffee maker in room , but I preferred the brewed coffee at 7 am in lobby with powdered creamer . Easy parking motel- style by your hotel room door . Clean towels . Restaurants close by including a delicious Indian restaurant and Italian and Mexican that we did not try. Plus a food Co-op ( non-members welcome to shop for prepared foods ). Only note: take a short shower , the hot water runs out , and bring Kleenex if u like them . Excellent value if u get a good price .
