Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff was great - the room not so much. Floor, walls , shower was extremely dirty. People were coming in and out of the rooms down from me. I wouldn’t stay here again.
The most important part of this room is it was economical and clean. Cleanliness is important to me. Breakfast wasn't fancy but had refrigerated sandwiches to heat up in microwave. Yogurt fruit and bagels also. Thank you

Gavd us ehat we needed, a bed to slerp in.
Cheap room with adequate sleep conditions.
It is not a high end or fancy place, but for those looking for a place to lay your head, it suffices.
I am guessing some rooms are better than others, I booked with Hotels dot com and it looked like the room I booked.

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was pretty easy and fast. Room wasn’t far from check in. Room was pretty clean. Toilet worked but also didn’t. Shower was good. For the price the room is good. The only problem was getting my deposit back the first night. I had to literally question the guy to get it back. He gave me a receipt that explained nothing and told me money is back on the card but wasn’t. So I walked back in and said hey man I need something better that explains I am getting my deposit back like you said. Gave me another receipt then I said. This receipt doesn’t show or state the deposit I gave you. He then manually released it and I instantly got my $50 deposit back. It’s almost as he was trying to see if I was a fool and just left. After, that night. He has been more simple with me. I would still stay here if there is no other options

2 star hotel
This def is a 2 stars hotel. My reservation was non-smoking 1-bed room, when arrived the room smelled horrible to cigarettes'. The host even offered me to cancel the reservation but then offered another room that was in a side they were already renovating which was better. Bed was good, the AC did not cool that much, room was clean at least. My stay was only 1 night so it was ok. I would not stay for longer tho.
I had to asked to a room with safety lock after 3 rooms found one. Toilet stopped flushing. Fixed promptly then broke again. Key card had to be reset 3times in just a 2 day stay. Staff very friendly and professional and very prompt to resolve my complaints. Pool was nice. Unfortunately the were installing a new roof during my brief stay which was loud for a Saturday. No work on Sunday but that was probably because of thunderstorms all day til 3pm. Room was relatively clean but did find some dead fruit flies in room. Did have good AC and working fridge and microwave a plus. If you are not staying in room except to sleep it will pass but not for confort.

We went to Busch Gardens. Needed a place to sleep. Pics looked nice. Pool looked super nice several pics. My kids picked this property. I walk in with my kids all in bathing suits. Front desk starts to check us ask for card to hold and says, Our pool does not work”. I said I have 3 kids that’s why we picked this place for the pool. I had to find another place, never checked in. It’s been 4 days cheap tickets refuses to help.. They charged my card. The hotel will not refund the my money. I have 2 Airbnbs on their sites and I know I am not allowed to advertise an amenity If it is down or no longer available I must notify all sites I advertise on to protect our integrity and keep guests happy and not demanding a refund for FALSE ADVERTISMENTS. These “Inn Keepers” should be ashamed of themselves keeping families money. When they are given 0% govt loans to buy these hotels, gas and liquor stores. They steal our hard working money. Liars and thieves. Cheap tickets acts
Like they can’t get the owner to answer the phone. lol what a joke. All liars and thieves.
