Honestly, it was better than we expected. It was clean and super convenient. We only stayed for a night as we were going out for a show. Definitely would stay here again.

Very quaint hotel. Clean. Staff was attentive even at 5 in the morning. A little off the beaten path, I was just there to sleep. Get what you need before you go because there is just a soda machine.

Very responsive staff. Police presence is VERY heavy at this particular hotel. Beds are stiff. No hair dryer or coffee machine, the room did have a mini-fridge. Plenty of parking, right behind a gas station and easy walking access to DG, food, smoke shop, and Busch Gardens.

Got in later than expected and the woman who checked us in was very helpful. Parking was plentiful. Location was a bit less than we expected - largely strip malls and not many places to eat. The place was not high on amenities but the rooms were clean and comfortable enough for a short stay and the price was reasonable. We did appreciate the table and chairs outside our door so we could enjoy the weather each evening.

Nice family run Motel. Clean room, huge nice new shower! The bed and sheets were SO SOFT and COMFY. The motel looks to have a nice, new roof and clean parking lot. The owner offered to put a patio table and chairs outside our door if we needed it. Very nice. We appreciate seeing families taking on the burden of purchasing older motels and renovating them into nice, clean places to stay. Very enjoyable.

To be clear - for the price the room was ALMOST fine. The condition of the room and bed was fine. Seemed clean. The sofa was not great - stained and smelled of cigarette smoke. The curtains also smelled of smoke. However overall, and especially for the price it was fine.

After booking and then getting a closer look at the property, I had concerns! Of course my fears were unjustified.. this property sits on the corner of 26th street and Busch Blvd. Easy access to property. Clean room and comfortable bed and pillows.. it seems management is in the process of remodeling. USB ports available, mini fridge and microwave are included. I was apprehensive but slept well and appreciated that the staff allowed us to have a ground floor room. Not fancy, just practical!

Horrible area. The clerk sits behind a caged window to check you in. The reviews were very misleading otherwise we would never have reserved a room here. We never even went in the room because the area was so bad and the outside of the motel was very dirty and run down. We asked to cancel and Of course we didn’t get a refund of our $134 but we just chalked it up to a bad mistake. I’m guessing the reviews were fake because there is no way that place got the good reviews it had legitimately. What a disaster this experience was. 😡

Die zimmer sind ausreichend groß aber es wurde schon lange nichts mehr dort gemacht. Von außen wirkt die unterkunft recht unscheinbar, aber die zimmer sind ziemlich alt und leider auch nicht richtig sauber. Ablageflächen beispielsweise sind voll mit staub. Das bad war grundsätzlich in ordnung. Das personal (ich glaube es ist mutter und tochter) ist sehr freundlich.
