Never again.
On my check out day I wanted to leave at 6 am so I could be back home in fort Myers to prepare for an 11am interview. When I asked for my $50 cash deposit back I was told only the manager has access to safe and to wait until 10am. Since I couldn't wait I was told to call later and they'd put it on my card. Well it's been 2 days and numerous calls and I still get the manager isn't in, try later. Also when I checked in there was no toilet paper and the holder was broken, I had to ask for paper the next morning. There was long hair on the floor next to the shower like it's not been cleaned.

OK for a short stay.
Cleanliness was fine, and was a fair value for the price.

Not so good. Very surprised by a 50 dollar, cash only room deposit. Room also needed some repair and basic plumbing and electrical problems taken care of.

House repairs.
It wasn't a planned event. House repairs forced us to relocate for a short time.

Stay away
Apparently there’s a hidden cash only deposit fee at checkin that isn’t disclosed on third party sites. They told me I should’ve gone to their website to know, or to read the little printed sign on the side of the office. I just drove almost 2 hours and am told to have cash on me when I never do… I get to the room and it smells so strongly of mold and cigarettes. There were cigarette burn marks on the cover of the bed. Paint peeling off in chunks all over the walls. Obvious flood damage on the bottom 1-2 feet of the room. I didn’t feel safe nor secure. I gave my key back before midnight just a few hours after I checked in. I didn’t even use the room. No refund or care of how my stay went. The creepy guy in the van that stared at me and then put his windows down as I got close (had to walk by to get to my friend who came to save me…). Told the front desk about him and she shrugged it off saying he’s a resident and it was his smoke break… he wasn’t smoking and I know a bad situation when I see one. Just so terrible. Don’t go to this place.

Not worth staying, regardless of how cheap
The room that I was provided did not have a secondary lock for safety, the smoke detector was missing and when I went to lay down on the bed, the sheets were soiled and had burn holes on them.
