Great place to stay overnight along I-75

Unlike other reviews, we thought this was great! Clean bathroom, and beds were very comfy. Breakfast was amazing- omelets made to order. Didn’t use the pool but it looked clean. Good place for overnight travel for the money!

La propiedad no está mal para resolver si no hay más opciones, pero la habitación no está bien diseñada. El baño es bien incomodo. Las camas son cómodas y te ofrecen servicio de limpieza de la habitación a diario. Las toallas y sábanas deben ser cambiadas por unas nuevas.

Great older hotel. Staff were wonderful. There is an onsite bar and restaurant and the bartender was amazingly wonderful. Free breakfast in the morning had all the things (waffle & omelet stations) juice, coffee, fruit, pastries, etc. it’s an older building and it has some age but the beds were comfortable and the a/c worked well.

Hotel need to upgrade their coffee machine. Bathroom was not so clean. Also, the front desk messed up my credit card charges. Nothing serious but just a hassle. I still like this hotel a lot and i will always stay there.

What is the deal with Expedia not accepting this review?!? Do NOT believe the site that lists this place as the nicest hotel in G’ville. This hotel appears to be 35 years old and does not appear to have ever gotten an upgrade. The rooms are run down, ants in the sink, cobwebs in the ceiling corners, pull out bed broken in multiple places, fan on A/C unit was super dirty. And very poor service. Never again!!
