The Smart Stay was a pleasant surprise. We needed a place to stay the night while traveling through Florida and I looked for a good value, breakfast included, low price and good reviews. This one seemed like a good choice although it is an old motel and you never really know untilnyou get there. We arrived and the building and grounds looked very well kept. The lobby was very nice, updated and clean. Lots of seating for breakfast also. (Full breakfast was simple but very good) The man at the front desk was welcoming, friendly and had us checked is very quickly He even gave us a choice of locations for our room. Our room was well updated, clean and quiet. The pool area was nice and inviting but we didn't swim during our stay. Other than some loud people walking by our room, the stay was pretty perfect. Highly recommended. Also, try the Taco's Queen, a little restaurant near the entrance. They had excellent mexican food and were super friendly!

This hotel is honestly one of those places I never would have known about had I not used Expedia. It delivered big time. I have been travwling a lot for work and I stay at pet friendly hotels because I have a dog. This hotel is comparable to an IHG brand or Hilton hotel in my opinion. The bed was so comfortable (I stayed in a king room). Everything was so clean. The pool area and the jungle gym were in prestine condition. Its hard to describe but, trust me, this hotel is even better than the pictures. I have no doubt I will stay here again in the future.
