Many old motels are given new life by new owners and become nice boutique accommodations. This is not one of them. This is a dive. The Hotel is really a Motel that is well past its prime and in need of a full renovation. The room pictures they present are of a very few select rooms that have been renovated, and yet are still very worn and falling apart. The stench of cleaning fluid in all 3 rooms I saw is overwhelming. The first room they gave me was dirty and beaten and so I switched to what was only slightly better. My co-worker was in a renovated room, which appeared nicer, but still was nowhere near alternative locations, such as Elita down the street. Even his room had bubbling lament on the furniture, an old shower and bath, and smelled of the cleaning fluid. The staff were very accommodating as they tried to switch my room to one of the renovated ones the following day, although by then I decided to leave and write off the entire expense. One made the comment that this was not a 5-star hotel, which was an understatement. It is clear the owners bought several old hotels and are extracting as much money from the Spring Break crowd as possible without putting much of anything back into the property. The one bright spot was the restaurant. While the food was basic, the staff were incredibly attentive. I just wish the staff could find a better place to work as this hotel is not it.
