2/10 Poor

This is obviously a very old and ill maintained hotel property. And as such, the price is low, but I still expect a certain level of cleanliness. The room was filthy! The bathroom tub hadn’t been cleaned in quite a while, and the towels were filthy! They had visible yellow stains! I drip-dried rather than use them on my skin. The bed was loosely made and while the sheets appeared clean, the comforter was definitely not. As for the property, the office was a shambles, and the pool was green and dirty (it was closed). The staff were nice though, so no complaints there.

Disappointed, definitely not a suite I expected.

The floor of the room was filthy. The tub rusty and in poor condition. The hot water at the tub runs continuously. The pool is broken and the deck around the pool and stairs to the second floor filthy. The furniture in the room wobbly. The Refrigerator, microwave and TV were good. Bed ok, too soft for my taste but ok.

Not even close to $100 / night standards

This place is an old crackhead motel that is under new management. They've slapped a new coat of paint over everything, installed a new window AC, and called it good. This is NOT a $100 / night place!!

Meh

Check in went very well. They let me check in at 11:00am, even though check ln wasn't until 3:00. The manager was very friendly and helpful. The room was as basic as could be. A VERY hard bed in a very small room. The water in the tub couldn't be shut off, so it ran constantly and formed a layer of mold in the tub.

It is a low-cost motel. Good condition quiet at night. Wonderful pool. I had no issues.

Don’t stay here

This stay in st Pete was terrible! Dirty and no one was even at the front office… it was over all terrible… I didn’t feel safe at all and we ended up not even staying there!

Worst place EVER!

The hotel wasn't well lite. Cars were parked all over. The pictures didn't match what we saw. The rooms had window shakers for the A/C. It looked unsafe. We did NOT stay there.It looks like it should be condemned. I would rather lose the money than have to sleep there one night.

Burned bedding, repulsive shower, no toilet paper/unclean room? Dirtiest hotel I've stayed in.
Hunter, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I never checked in. The building and grounds were filthy and the neighborhood unsafe. Boarded up buildings surrounded the property. I left and found another hotel on my own, not through Expedia.

Worst motel ever

This was absolutely the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. I booked 2 days, left after 1. I literally got bedbugs from this disgusting place and there was sticky beer all over the floor. The sink and shower didn’t even work. The manager/ owner was beyond unprofessional and rude and scummy. They didn’t offer any refund or anything and tried to make me feel bad! We could also hear cockroaches in the walls. I’m reporting this place to health and safety. I hope this scum bag owner quits. Terrible service

DON'T STAY HERE!!! The only thing good thing to write about this property is the staff that checked me in. The room was beyond terrible. I don't think it would pass an inspection from code inspectors. The electric stove is a fire hazard. The badly patch walls to bugs in the bathroom. Lets not forget the stains in the furniture, sheets & towels. I know, the entire place needs a total rehab. Get this...the other rooms in the town are being used by FEMA because of the hurricane. Because of this the going rate is $145.11 for one night. Highway Robbery... The owners should be held accountable and prosecuted. I don't care if the tear this MF down and rebuild it..I won't be back!

2/10 Poor

Absolutely terrible

I arrived at waited 30 minutes but noone was around in the office. Ihad to contact hotels.com to get them to call and find the worker. The olace was very sketchy. Kids were looking in cars. A lady was drunk walking around looking for someone. There were obvious(smell) of drugs being done in s room across from the pool. A few lights were out. There was a sex worker by the front entrance. There was someone selling drugs in a car begind the building. It seemed lawless and wild. I could not stay as i was scared. I did not get a refund either. Stay away. Sleep in your car before you go here.

Lipstick on a pig is still a pig

This was the most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It’s obvious that the rooms had been smoked in for years and the “renovations “ consisted of painting over everything in the room with white paint. Newsflash, paint doesn’t cover the smell of cigarettes. And when I say they painted everything, I mean everything. Bathroom tiles, tub, windows, outlets were all painted white. Pretty sure most people staying at the hotel actually live there. It was not an enjoyable stay. Slapping a can of paint over nicotine covered walls and buying the cheapest of furniture they could find to make a room is what we got. We slept on top of the beds with our own pillows and blankets after we found a burned hole in one of the sheets. We will never stay there again and I don’t recon anyone else staying there either.

Horrifying, disgusting. Should not be listed

This was a terrifying place to stay. It looked like a place people get murdered at. Every part of the room was dilapidated. The comforter has burn marks on. We couldn’t get the gas stove light to turn off- making it seem like the gas was always on. You couldn’t pay me to shower in that shower. The whole bathroom was disgusting. The soap rack was broken and pointy. The walls were partially patched but not well. Everything was peeling/falling apart. The entire place smelled horrifically like cigarettes. It was overpowering. The pool (part of what convinced me to book) was closed. My brother checked in around 8pm but I didn’t get in until after we got back from a concert around midnight. I was so horrified I spent a half hour on the phone with various hotel chains trying to see if there was any Availability for a room in the city. There was also lots of yelling from other customers when we get back around midnight. It felt EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I would NEVER stay there again. We considered sleeping in our cars but I’m not familiar with the area and didn’t know where would be safe to do so. This property should NOT be listed on hotels.com I have a video of the stove if you would like- please reach out via email
