It’s old style buffet Florida Motel. The family running the property were responsive and helpful. Kitchen was basic and we brought our own pots and pan, cutlery too. We were happy with these very simple accommodations, decent beds and clean sheets and towels. No frills, but that was fine for us.

Very convenient location for what I was doing. It is an older property but well maintained. The room was large and nicely furnished even if some of those furnishings were outdated, they were well maintained. I've stayed at places for twice the price that were not as nice.

A nice inexpensive motel.

Did not see any bugs. Room was clean, though it was dated. Had a king with 2 pillows. Pool area looked nice. I would stay again. It's not bad considering the price. About a 15 minute drive from The Sound amphitheater.

What I thought was odd was you conducted all transactions through a small sliding window. There were a lot of construction workers and people placed by FEMA. But, surprisingly, it was quiet and we didn't have any trouble. The parking lot was well lit. The website stated that there weren't any bedsheets on the beds, but there were, and they were clean. Overall, the stay was better than I expected.

It is a good place to stay! the place is clean and the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is very useful for trips a little long, it is close to Starbucks, Walmart and several more stores, the pool looks very clean The only thing I would like you to add is pots and cutlery for the kitchen, I think it is the only thing that would be missing for the room to be a complete 10/10, I absolutely recommend this place.
