Ponce De Leon Motel

Ponce De Leon Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We went to evacuate from the hurricane coming, thankfully this lovely Motel headspace and was even open for people that needed it… I was good when we first came in and then everywhere ran out of power. We felt safe to stay a couple of nights and during the day everybody checked in with each other, including the owners multiple times to make sure we were OK… The bed was incredibly comfortable for a Motel and the chairs were wonderful as well all a good experience, except for having to worry about what the weather was happening.. also on the other side of the freeway is a Pilot truckstop that was hoping we got to have WIFI. They had plenty of gas and food as well. Thanks for these two people to take good care of us and very clear how much they cared about their business .👏"
