This place is disgusting and a total scam. Smelled like cigarette smoke, furniture and bedding were stained, and the walls and doors were literally dirty with grime. We were there for 15 min before leaving to find another place, and the property is refusing a refund (and hasn’t given back the $50 deposit that wasn’t mentioned anywhere until check in). AVOID - Expedia needs to delist this disgusting place.

Super friendly people that work here. Convenient location and with Cracker Barrel right in front, that was awesome. Breakfast is top notch. Nothing cheap, lots of options and hot. Everything tasted great. Room 202, needs the toilet behind it cleaned badly.

The shower's water pressure was practically non-existant. Two lights over the sink/vanity were burned out. Otherwise all was well.

We had a great experience in this place!!! We were in a soccer tournament at IMG Academy, which by the way it’s only 7 min of this place, and it was the BEST THING we could have done!! The rooms were extremely clean, LOVED the smell readiness of housekeeping! The breakfast was a GREAT hot breakfast with everything we would like to eat in the morning, well served! The staff?!? AMAZING STAFF, all of them very caring, attentive and ready to help. We’ve never stayed in a simple hotel like this and had such an amazing experience!
