I would like to give a good review because the check-in desk and other staff were all friendly and nice. The hotel and rooms, however, need repairs and updating. The one elevator had a terrible odor both nights we stayed, like very rotten food. Our room had issues, too: The telephone didn't work, the safe was broken, several of the electrical outlets didn't work properly, and the ice machine on our floor was not working. The floor had a large damaged area, the paint on the walls needed refreshing, and the decor was plain and outdated. The location, however, is very good. We could walk to fast food restaurants, Publix supermarket, and several other stores within a quarter mile.
