Yes it is dated and it is a motel. But it is in a great location, you can park your car outside your room, check in service was excellent and it is very clean. Easy walk to restaurants and cool cocktail bars. Value for money..save your money for the excellent dining within 8 minute walk!

It’s a little “Schitts Creek-ish”, clean & safe, but dark/dated furnishing/decor. With the new SantaFe facility opening, I imagine the neighborhood will improve. walked to great restaurants , but not alone nor after dark. Soon this place will be updated & twice the room rate.

This place was pretty run down. Other people were putting on great ratings and those were the main reason for booking here. The AC unit was extremely noisy, the toilet seat lid broke, and the shower curtain rod fell off. The bed was ok and there weren't any bugs. It wasn't worth the $120 a night they were charging.

The rooms were fairly clean. The air conditioners in both rooms didn't operate properly. One room had a a/c remote but it was hard to regulate the temperature with it. The other room didn't have a remote. Upon checking out I mentioned it to the front desk and he said that he was aware of the issue 😳

The street it was on was extremely noisy till late, and again early in the morning. If you must stay here, ask for a room towards the back of the property, although I doubt they will fulfill your request. They have no interest in helping people or any show of customer service. One definitely gets the impression that they just want your money- warm bodies in a bed, for lack of a better term. I believe I got a bug bite there as well. I arrived at 2am, as I got delayed in Tampa and unfortunately had pre-booked the room. The night clerk would not give me a late check out, not even 11:30am. (Even Motel 6 will let you stay till 11:30am if you ask nicely). Then when I was not fully rested in the morning, I saw him again as I was leaving, and I told him that I would've appreciate a little kindness in regards to the checkout time. He told me that they were fully booked for the night to come, so no one could check out late. Of course, that was a lie, because when I talked to the maid (who was waiting to clean my room), she said it was her last one. Listen, do yourself a favor, if you can afford it, pay an extra $40-50 and stay in a proper hotel, not a "lodge" which is really just a cheap, fleabag motel. Oh and there's a massive cell tower looming above the place.
