Had family coming into town and told them to check this motel because it was convenient and always looked pretty good. NOT! I am so sad to say that the room is covered in dog or cat hair, even on the sheets when covers pulled back. Family staying the one night and then moving to another motel. They had to... More

Not sure where to start would much rather stay in my car than in this run down piece of c**p. Disgusting, filthy, smelly, they should be out of business. For the price I paid I could stayed at the Hampton if they were not booked. Staff is rude, dresses unprofessional, breakfast was disgusting . Please DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY... More

Went to Ellenton overnight. Stayed here with my daughter and friend. The desk attendant, "T" was so kind and helpful. The room was freshly cleaned AND it's quiet. Sits next to the most wonderful Oyster Bar! I wish I could have stayed longer

Very clean, peaceful, and over all wonderful place to stay. Outstanding staff. Was visiting from St . Croix and wasn't familiar with the area. However, the wonderful ladies went above and beyond in providing excellent front desk service. The continental breakfast was a plus. No, it's not the Hilton. However, I will return and stay again when in the area.... More

Crap Trap II is next to it for fine dining. Waffle House and a Oyster Bar are withing walking distance. Reasonable in prices, staff is very friendly. Rooms are... More

We stayed here while in town for a dog show. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They had fresh fruit and doggie biscuits at the front desk. The rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. Not bad for the price. Very dog friendly, they even have poop bags available at the front desk if needed. Will definitely stay here... More

First of all I do believe that who wrote anything positive about this place is blind and can't smell. We pulled up and I thought that I would give it a chance. Front desk clerk wasn't too pleasant. It was raining and apparently the roof was leaking because there was buckets and water dropping from the ceiling; we get our... More

I've stayed at the Guesthouse once a year for the past 4 years. It is not a Holiday Inn, but we don't spend much time in the room anyways. This year the rooms where actually cleaner than the past years! Pool area needs some sweeping and wiping of chairs though. Staff is extremly helpful and went out of their way... More
