nasty
this hotel needs to be cleaned deeply on the sidewalks and the balconies. The level of filth was overwhelmng. then you had your clients smoking all sorts of drugs there too. the motel reeked of dope. there was no phone to call the desk with when our neighbors had a knock down drag out fight at 3 a.m. No chairs in the room, no clock, only a sick television and a garbage can . the ceiling was peeling and the baseboard in the bath was falling off. The towels all looked very stained and nasty, the bedspreads were gross and the floor had not been mopped in months. the mirror was filthy too. someone used a solvent on the tv screen and it had a thick haze . I would not recommend this place to a rabid dog.

We are booking hotel rooms through Expedia from long time. Never had such a bad experience. All night we had roaches running in room. Room looks disgusting. Towel was used and not cleaned. Saw cigarette pieces where we specifically booked non smoking rooms with kids.we had to go to Walmart yesterday and buy sanitizer and sheets for the bed

Room 140
This place is horrible the ceiling was falling down. The room smelled like mold. The shower curtain was falling off the wall because the shower was leaking in the wall and poorly repaired, if you could call that a repair. The only sink didn’t work and I could barely brush my teeth. Just an overall bad room and I felt like I got eaten by bugs for sleeping in the bed

Our first night here we opened a towel and there was a dead cockroach bigger than my thumb inside. I asked staff for new towels and told them and they did nothing, acted like it was normal. We thought that was the end of it and then the next night we found a live one crawling in the bathroom floor, and crawled everywhere in the floor until we trapped it under a cup for house keeping to find. The other people who stayed were extremely loud. It was 30 minutes from the pensacola beach, which isn’t awful but getting on the interstate and off was. Yes it is cheap, and if you are okay with cockroaches bigger than a grown adults thumb then go here. But if not, I would highly recommend a different hotel. This place is disgusting and our non smoking room smelt like someone had been smoking for years. Housekeeping also goes in when you’re not there. Have fun, and choose a different hotel for your own bug hating good.

The hotel itself was disgusting. The room was very filthy, had food crumbs everywhere, room smelled like mildew and cigarettes. Constant traffic in and out of rooms like it was a trap hotel or women prostituting. The only good thing about it is the guy in the office was understanding and refunded my money.

I didn’t like anything about the room. There were old towels still in the bathroom with bugs on the walls, the bathroom door was hard to open (because it was breaking), pain was falling the the bathroom, roaches on the ac and spiders on the entrance door.. staff had horrible hospitality. The staff member didn’t want to refund me and refused to let me speak to the manager. Jerks

The room was old, which was alright, but the bedspreads on the beds were sandy and filthy dirty. At night we killed two roaches in the bathroom. Loud music at night and no staff at night. When we checked in the lady said we had 15 minutes to check out the room and see if we wanted it, but that it didnt really matter coz she didnt have another room anyway?! And the pool has not been used in years! It is a disgusting mosquito breeding hole.
