Hands down the most disgusting hotel ever!
This was absolutely the worst hotel i've ever stayed at in my life.
There was no heat, no hot water, there were dorito crumbs all over the bed, and the room stunk like cigarette smoke.

It was a satisfactory stay for the price, my only complaint is that there wasn't a single mirror in the room or bathroom.

Traffic noise non-stop
The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. It is a very old motel but was clean and had NO old motel smell. We checked out at midnight and forfeited our payment because the street was so noisy and a lot of sketchy people hanging around the perimeter. We did not feel safe.

When I had to provide a $50 cash deposit , I know it wasn’t going to be a nice play to stay , once I seen the room I asked for the deposit back and they refused as it was deposited in their safe ! Will try to get in next day . Place was absolutely horrible .

Never again.
On my check out day I wanted to leave at 6 am so I could be back home in fort Myers to prepare for an 11am interview. When I asked for my $50 cash deposit back I was told only the manager has access to safe and to wait until 10am. Since I couldn't wait I was told to call later and they'd put it on my card. Well it's been 2 days and numerous calls and I still get the manager isn't in, try later. Also when I checked in there was no toilet paper and the holder was broken, I had to ask for paper the next morning. There was long hair on the floor next to the shower like it's not been cleaned.

Not so good. Very surprised by a 50 dollar, cash only room deposit. Room also needed some repair and basic plumbing and electrical problems taken care of.
