Good value, close to the airport, lots of restaurants nearby. The lobby was decent, the hallways looked tired, but the room was surprisingly nice. Free breakfast. The pool is an absolute joke, though: it could probably fit 10 people total.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The hotel is old and should be rated as a one star (Super 8). They are currently remodeling but keeping too much of the original. The hallways were dirty and smelled musty. The room stinks like mold, bathroom floor was disgusting, toilet tank leaking so water keeps turning on all night, window doesn't lock, the main lock on the door doesn't work. It feels like they are putting make-up on a pig. Not sure who thought putting the pool in the front parking lot near the main road was a good idea. On the positive, the beds are nice and new and the furniture is updated. The staff were really positive and helpful. Elevators are broken so they offered to carry out items. If it was a one star motel, I wouldn't have expected much. But the smell, how dirty its kept and obvious signs of how old the hotel is, should lower this rating.

Looked like a bad college dorm room. One lamp. Likely not vacuumed, as the corners of the bathroom had accumulation of dirt and paint chips. In fairness, bedsheets were clean. Thick smell of too much carpet cleaner/deodorant that sticks in your nose for a while. Hallway carpets are dirty at points of more traffic. Is close to Sanford airport. Next time I’ll stay further out and leave a little earlier to get at least a decent hotel. Was happy to leave. Won’t stay again.

Okay if you have to catch an early flight

We were just here overnight to catch an early morning flight out of Sanford. It was very convenient for this purpose. The front desk staff was very nice, friendly, and helpful. They were all wonderful. The room was nice and clean. It had obviously been renovated recently. The remainder of the hotel made me question our decision to stay there. Carpets were disgusting. The elevator made odd noises that were concerning. The tub/shower needs some repairs, and the toilet ran off and on all night.

The roaches checked in, so we checked out.

Gary was a wonderful host and the hotel was clean in the lobby. The room was in of repair. At 2:00 a.m. I got up to go to the bathroom and turned on the light to see several cockroaches climbing on the tub and floor. Needless to say, I screamed and it woke up my daughter. We ended up staying up the rest of the night. Not good.

Air conditioning was a little rough. It was either freezing in room or hot and very loud! My next comment is regarding the allowance of dogs at hotel. I had to listen to the room right next to mine,who had obviously left their dog in room by itself for 8 consecutive hours,bark pretty much the whole time. I was finally allowed to get a new room by 10pm and having to leave for airport by 4. There should be some rule where you can’t leave pet for more than a couple hours at a time.

I think the motel was remodeling. At least, I hope they were. The room was sorta clean, considering what the maids had to work with. There were no bedside lamps. Heck, there was one lamp in the whole room and it was on the desk. The fixtures in the bathroom were broken. The slide curtain was filthy, as was the window. The air-condition sounded like an airplane taking off every time it came on. All. Night. Long. Terrible experience! Don't go there!!
