We verify reviews to ensure the traveler booked with Expedia Group. Travelers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
The only good feature of the hotel is that it's centrally located. The property and rooms were dirty. People were living there and they were dirty too. Syringes in the grassy area, along with large quantities of animal poop. Ice machine was broken. The cleaning equipment: brooms etc were inadequate for the job. On 3 separate towels there was hair imbedded in the weave and I found a long black kinky hair in the tub. The only excuse I can think of for the state of the hotel is apathy.
After my last experience with an Expedia Motel I was considering not using Expedia again. I decided to try one more time and was pleased with the Motel I selected. There were a few things that could have been better but nothing that would keep me from using this location again. If interested the rooms had absolutely no amenities like face tissue, hair shampoo or bath soap. There were 2 bars of hand soap but nothing else, however those can be fixed by my packing travel size items. The bed was great, very comfortable and I had a great 2 nights of sleep, the TV reception was very good and the office called to checked with you if you needed housekeeping without just bothering you by coming by. Check-in and Check-out were done very good considering that there was always only 1 person in the office and always a line of customers. Anyway this stay will have me continuing to use Expedia as well as Choice as long as I no longer get the kind of location I did in Nov 2021 in FL.
