The one bed cover had cigarette burns from a previous person. The bedskirt was stained. The other bed had black long hair in between sheets. When you uncovered the sheep bed the microwave had food crumbs underneath the microwave plate inside of it. The shower door seal was letting a lot of water out onto the floor.

I like the fact that they can either accept credit cards or cash. The price is always the same whether it's a weekday or a weekend unless of course you use Expedia then you can save money

Upon check-in, the hotel claimed they had no reservation through Hotels.com. I showed them the reservation on my app, but still nothing. They had rooms available and because it was very late we decided just to stay and pay more.

I paid for a non-smoking room and my room reeked of cigarette smoke. It was in the curtains, rug and bed spreads. Yuck. The vent over the shower was very dirty. Caked on cigarette residue. Otherwise the room was comfortable. There were no other rooms available. For the price, it wasn’t worth it.

Dirty & smoky "non-smoking" room
Room was in good repair, but listed as non-smoking & smelled strongly of smoke. Other than the very nice (hot water/rainfall showerhead) & clean shower the room was filthy. Moldy fridge, urine on toilet seat, crumbs & dead ants under counter/nightstand and dirty sheets. Both beds had hair & makeup on the sheets and one bed even had loose change between the fitted & flat sheet. When the beds were made the next day the other bed still had change in it. For transparency, I did not alert management to the issues during my short stay for work (in late & gone before dawn) and chose to mitigate with disinfectant wipes and slept on top of the sheets with the blanket. It's a shame though, this could be a cute motel if the cleanliness and sanitary standards were improved.

An older motel that has had some renovations. The outside needs some attention, the bedspreads were older, and the pool was a little cloudy, but our room was clean and the bed was comfy. Bathroom had been updated. No outside noise or highway noise in our room. Also, it was the cheapest place on short notice that also had lots of good reviews online.

I liked the solidarity of my room location; nice pool & amenities. Floor needed a better vacuum job, but over all it was nice. The painted sidewalks are very slick when wet! It wouldn't hurt to put slippery when wet signs everywhere! Most of the A/Cs drain on the sidewalk just outside the front window, by the door. Also, I didn't know the sink stopper was fake; not sure how they're going to get it out of there...

Comfortable bed, nice bathroom/shower. Very nice staff. Relatively quiet, but other people staying were not, and showed no respect. They were loud in the middle of the night. What I DIDN'T like, it was supposed to be a non-smoking room, but reeked of tobacco smoke. No carpet on floor, just tiles. Overpriced for what it is.

Brandon Motor Lodge: "The way it is"!
1. Advertising: Photograph used is not representative of the true condition of the grounds and buildings. 2. Check In / Key Cards: 1st time ever where room numbers are written with "Sharpie" on each key. 1st set did not work and Gm Sadie Ali Chaudhry moved my son and I to another room. 3. Renovation advertised was very "Slip Shod". Bathroom door top hinge was loose to the point of falling; Entry door had 1/4" gap on all three sides. AC constant running and pulling in air from the outside. 4. General appearance: "Seedy" but clean.

The wifi signal did not reach my room, but I could get it fine in the office area. That was the only “negative” - whole place was recently painted, nice flooring, beds OK, pillows were great. The location was perfect - convenient to everything.
