It’s not fancy, but the overall price-value was surprisingly good! Clean and newly remodeled bathrooms, proximity to FSU, and midsize fridge were the most impressive for such a reasonable price.

Don't be fooled by the detective movie exterior, this is actually fairly excellent for the price. Quiet (despite being near a big road), big, comfortable bed, friendly enough, AC works well, hot, powerful shower, decently clean. This will please you if you're looking for a budget night (or even two) visiting briefly or traveling through town and you don't mind things being a little bit scuffed and run down here and there. Probably not so great if you're looking to wow your other half with a romantic getaway or are expecting luxury or chain hotel levels of polish. Rooms aren't that big and are fairly dark but then you're not going to be spending all day in there are you? Also, there is a large and beautiful park just behind the hotel with a completely gorgeous outdoor public pool which opens at 7am. Seriously - walk 10 mins, pay $4 and your doing lengths in a heated pool with park views. A few restaurants nearby and more beyond the park which are walkable (seems unusual in a v. unwalkable city). I didn't try to cross the road to the north though and there don't seem to be any crossings so if you don't have a car or nerves of steel you, like me will probably never sample the delights of the Miller's Ale House across the road.

I stayed on the first floor (or ground floor). The view from the hotel window was a small hill with dirty water flooding on the bottom of the hill. The room was dark.. very dark.. it did not have coffee maker, and when I asked, the man in the charge said that some room has and some room doesn.. ha!? But they gave me one, anyway. Do not stay on the first floor. Second floor is better. The one signle bed room has a small sink in the bathroom which does not have enough room to put your toiletrery and tooth brush and etc. The coffee at breakfast was awful. They did not simply put enough groudner coffee but a lot of water. I am not recommneding to stay here if you want to enjoy beautiful town.

I liked: the lady who checked us in and the gentleman who checked us out were both very cordial and helpful. These were the only staff we met. The bathroom in our unit was quite nice. I didn't like: the choice for the complimentary breakfast was poor and there was no place to sit and eat it. No decaf coffee available.

Good for an overnight stay. Advertised continental breakfast, I don’t call coffee and bagel as acceptable for breakfast no other beverage. It is good for a close visit to capital you could walk there.

The breakfast area consisted of a coffee pot and a couple kinds of pastries. I took a picture of their laundry area . Yes it was outside. My price was supposed to be $69 plus tax for 2 nights. It cost me $284

Older hotel in a convenient location. Room was spacious and very clean. The bed was firmer than my liking, but in excellent condition. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out of. It was a FSU game weekend, we paid a premium on the rooms, so the value wasn’t there, but that’s capitalism.

Looks can be deceiving
The hotel looks pretty sad from the outside. Exterior lights blinking, no windows on the entry side of the units. The units however are very nice the bathrooms are updated and the beds are comfortable albiet small.

I am still recovering from being totally ravaged by bedbugs! I have never been so miserable in my life! In one night I was bitten all over my torso and arms! Have never experience anything like that it was completely awful Do not sleep in room 135 bed by the window or you will be eaten alive

The front desk associate was very helpful and courteous. We had some paint peeling in our room which we notified the front desk to make sure we weren’t charged for damages and no problems there. Unfortunately, the sheets on one bed had a small stain, but overall pretty clean and served it’s purpose.

Dimly lit, musty smell,dirty, old toiletries, only the one mirror in the bathroom made it challenging to have both of us get ready. The gentleman at the counter was helpful when the toilet overflowed. Plus, it is close to downtown. Needs updating.

Ok as last resort for FSU game, but no one would stay if better choice available. Pricing about 5x what it should be. Good location but owner does not want to invest above that. Property has seen better days. AC did not work. External property lights blinking. Clean enough but not outstanding.

It's an old property, but has been updated. It had a rain shower head which you usually don't see. It had a microwave and a frig which sometimes you don't have in Marriott or Hilton properties in Tallahassee. Price was excellent. Location is central.

The gentleman that checked us in was the owner. He was very nice and supplied whatever we needed. It was very dirty on the outside some what nasty looking. The recliner and desk chair was in very bad shape. So bad that we did not even sit in the chairs neither one of them! Wood furniture was fine but the walls were a mess big places and not painted. Just looked bad. The bathroom was great. It had been newly remodeled. The bed was OK but the linens on the bed were absolutely nasty discolored, dirty looking. I’m just thankful I had something with me that checked for bedbugs. I’m sorry but would not recommend this motel.

was a good room for what i needed. nothing fancy, but look to be somewhat newly renovated. they were quiet, couldn't hear the other rooms. I checked in on Friday and the attendant didn't know how to handle prepaid expedia reservations. other than that it was again fine for what i needed.
