Horrible experience
Horrible service. Will never stay at this motel. Manager refused to issue a refund after the hotel lost electricity. People were congregating outside our room smoking and talking very loud. It was about 5 am. The manager never asked them to quiet it down. We were unable to sleep after that.

horrible and filthy
Awful. This was a terrible experience this is a filthy room. This was a stay during hurricane Milton. There was absolutely nothing else available. I was upstairs which is okay except I had a cat and a dog. The power went out and there are no emergency lights. I can tell you it was quite precarious this morning trying to get my 14-year-old dog down a flight upstairs in the dark in the rain in the wind. The room itself I can't say anything about except yuck. Nothing was cleaned absolutely nothing. If I had not been in the middle of a hurricane I would have left. Not having safety lighting is not a good thing and when I did complain to the maintenance person he said oh yeah that's about the one hundreds complaint I've had about that. It's dangerous and it's illegal stay here at your own risk.

Needs to be demolished
The place is just very old and dingy. No amount of scrubbing could clean this place up. It really needs to be demolished. The staff was very friendly and helpful though. I I would not recommend staying there to anyone.
