Pleasant Surprise

I actually went in very low expectations bc of the hotel name and I’d never stayed at a “budget” hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with how clean it was and how friendly ALL the staff was. Robert at the front desk was awesome. I would stay there again bc of the staff and cleanliness.

Very nice place for the cost

Hotel has nice amenities for its guests, including coffee and popcorn and cookies, and they ran a shuttle to and from the stadium. Inside of rooms is nice enough, with plenty of pillows and towels and it was relatively clean. The staff was really pleasant and went out of their way to be helpful.

8/10 Very good

The room had a mildew smell when I walked in and it lingered. I do understand it is Florida and sometimes hard to get the humidity out but it was strong. The guy at the front desk was great and super friendly. The hotel was quiet and is very cozy.
