Great place to stop on our trip to Florida. It was clean and staff was friendly. The room wasn't the best. TV didn't work and you could see daylight all around the door. The elevator is very slow and got stuck a few times. It was fine for what we needed but if I was staying longer I would find someplace else

It was fine. The usual occasional ladybug that's pretty common in that area. I was in late and out early. At check- in the guy was pretty nice but honestly, if a guy is checking in after 9 pm he's probably not looking for a long conversation. I just wanted to go to get some sleep. Not complaining, it's just a "read the room" opportunity. If you're pulling a trailer or in a big truck like I was, know that the place is at the top of a substantial hill. It wasn't a problem for me but if you're barely getting around or it's slick out, you might not make it.

Worked for a place to sleep. Bathrooms are clean, very thin walls, mattresses and pillows super uncomfortable, and smells musty.
