Get what you pay for
This was a very inexpensive stay for me but you get what you pay for…. The parking lot is very tiny/narrow making it impossible for two cars to pass each other while coming or going. My full size pick up did not fit when backed against the fence and stuck out so I worried about it being hit. There was a VERY loud thunk-thunk of metal every few hours all night - I think it might have been the dumpster to waffled house getting used? Young men spent hours hanging out drinking beer and chit chatting every night on the upstairs walkway. In other words - it was SUPER LOUD and I didn’t get a good night sleep any of the three nights I was there. But there are some good things - the vinyl floors and bathroom were clean. The mattress was doable though a bit hard. However- the towels were super thin (like dollar store thin) and the sheets were like burlap. Thank goodness I bring my own pillow - those pillows were flat and lumpy! The comforter was probably twenty years old and a queen on a king mattress so did not fit. I will not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel even when you are trying to be cheap and here just for business.

I was told that there was no hot water at the hotel and staff did not know if or when it would be available. Also it is very very loud traffic outside constantly.

The hot water situation was resolved within an hour and a half. I'm sorry you were not happy with our property.

Nice motel with friendly staff
This motel is decent if you're just looking for somewhere to lay your head for a night. It was spacious, we had a double bed room, and it includes a microwave and a small fridge. The Waffle House is next to it, and there's a Walmart down the road. We were heading to Pensacola Beach which is only about an hour away, and this option was way cheaper than staying IN Pensacola. Friendly staff, both at arrival and departure (different staff members). No issue with our service dog as well. Pets are actually accepted at this location, with a deposit, or fee, can't remember which one. Definitely a no-frills motel, and we always travel with our own blankets, since motel blankets tend to be thin. I would recommend this place, especially for those eventually traveling to Pensacola.

The room smelled like lysol, cigarettes, and standing water. The climate control unit was pumping condensation under the linoleum flooring, so we were greeted by a puddle of water getting out of bed the next morning. I can't imagine leaking, standing water is very safe right below the outlet of an electric unit! There was hair on the bathroom floor and in the shower, no screens on the faucet so water sprayed everywhere, and fingerprints (at least I hope that's what they were) on the headboard. The sheets felt damp and smelled like straight cleaning solution. If there had been any other availabilities in the area for our dates, I would've left! Unfortunately, childbirth doesn't wait for terrible hotels, so the choice was miss a birth or deal with lodgings. We opted to prioritize the first one. The only redeeming factor was the staff. If they kept the regular staff and just hired better cleaners and maintenance, this could be a decent budget hotel. Unless that happens, if you value good sleep, DO NOT BOOK HERE.

I'm so sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay. I was not aware of the problem with the climate control unit until your husband informed me as you were checking out. I assure you that all issues that you have brought to my attention will be addressed.

The property was clean and neat for a cheaper hotel in the area. We came mainly for fishing and swimming, so it's a good hotel in a decent area if you aren't wanting to spend an arm and a leg and don't mind diving 45 minutes to thr beach.

Barely any amenities (no shampoo/conditioner, only one small bar of soap), sockets barely kept anything in them, no clock (not a big deal, but most places do have an alarm clock), the walls were peeling away, no do not disturb sign to keep them out of the room. It's good for the price, but it definitely needs revamping.

Partiers directly above room. Dropped a beer bottle by our car while we were at dinner. Had to walk thru glass to get to room. Next morning trash all around our car, as well as other beer bottles under front of car. Party right outside our room. Cigarettes on both sides of our car. So kept up all night and had to clear stuff from around car to leave. Cancelled return reservation
