    Good location, nice staff

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Nice stay. Quiet and peaceful. Nice staff

  • Engine customer May 2026

    All kinds of bugs on the floor that I took photos of and dirt as well as soon as we open the door.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It’s a horrible motel, you honestly fear for your safety. The rooms were super dirty, filled with dust and a lot of bugs, no amenities whatsoever, if you can avoid it honestly don’t stay here.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Property looks absolutely terrible. The room had bugs and the ac didn’t work properly. The shower was clean. We came for a concert and couldn’t really switch at that point. Won’t stay there again

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Refrigerated did not work, sheets was dirty. Light flickering, unsavory people on the property. Need some of money back, the booking was false advertising.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Very responsive staff. Police presence is VERY heavy at this particular hotel. Beds are stiff. No hair dryer or coffee machine, the room did have a mini-fridge. Plenty of parking, right behind a gas station and easy walking access to DG, food, smoke shop, and Busch Gardens.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The room was clean, but the towels were sparse and thin. There was nowhere to hang a towel, there was no bath rug. There was no coffee maker or anywhere on property to get a coffee. Not likely to stay there again.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    After booking and then getting a closer look at the property, I had concerns! Of course my fears were unjustified.. this property sits on the corner of 26th street and Busch Blvd. Easy access to property. Clean room and comfortable bed and pillows.. it seems management is in the process of remodeling. USB ports available, mini fridge and microwave are included. I was apprehensive but slept well and appreciated that the staff allowed us to have a ground floor room. Not fancy, just practical!

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Got in later than expected and the woman who checked us in was very helpful. Parking was plentiful. Location was a bit less than we expected - largely strip malls and not many places to eat. The place was not high on amenities but the rooms were clean and comfortable enough for a short stay and the price was reasonable. We did appreciate the table and chairs outside our door so we could enjoy the weather each evening.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Honestly, it was better than we expected. It was clean and super convenient. We only stayed for a night as we were going out for a show. Definitely would stay here again.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Yes

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Very quaint hotel. Clean. Staff was attentive even at 5 in the morning. A little off the beaten path, I was just there to sleep. Get what you need before you go because there is just a soda machine.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Dusty room and dirty towels

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    cockroaches, cigarette burns on covers.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Clean, good location. Secure. Updated Friendly staff.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    To be clear - for the price the room was ALMOST fine. The condition of the room and bed was fine. Seemed clean. The sofa was not great - stained and smelled of cigarette smoke. The curtains also smelled of smoke. However overall, and especially for the price it was fine.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Room and service were excellent. Brand new place.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Horrible area. The clerk sits behind a caged window to check you in. The reviews were very misleading otherwise we would never have reserved a room here. We never even went in the room because the area was so bad and the outside of the motel was very dirty and run down. We asked to cancel and Of course we didn’t get a refund of our $134 but we just chalked it up to a bad mistake. I’m guessing the reviews were fake because there is no way that place got the good reviews it had legitimately. What a disaster this experience was. 😡
