“Oy Vey”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I was here for a reception/party, did not stay in an actual room. Immediately upon entering the lobby, though clean, I was assaulted by a strong smell I couldn't quite place...very overpowering and off-putting. The facility was old and in need of an update. The carpet was FILTHY; they actually started to vaccuum after the guests had started arriving!!!

The bathrooms had no soap or paper to dry your hands. We had to pass around our own hand sanitizer. There was a "medical" issue with an apparent regular (and shady) guest in the front hallway as the guests were arriving - if that wasn't a sign to turn around and leave, I don't know what was.

On the plus side, the staff was friendly, accomodating and helpful. The location is right on the corner of a main road, so I'm sure it's a great location for tourists passing through or wanting to move around Kissimmee. I just couldn't believe how much they paid for this salon compared to the awful quality. I couldn't imagine what the rooms are like. Ick.

“A Dump w/Good Personnel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

This is a motel that is in desparate need of a complete rehab. Everything, and I mean everything, needs replacement and upgrading. I experienced filthy carpets, lumpy mattresses, broken outdated furnishings, as well as a lack of a proper computer work area. There was no dead bolt lock on the door which, to me, should be mandated by law. The worst offense was cockroaches, which I found in two places. During the night was when they chose to have workmen hammering, sawing, and ripping molding off walls in the hallway, something which should have been done during the day when customers are not trying to sleep. Also, the morning I was leaving I was subjected to a shower that had no hot water (caused, I was told, by a valve malfunction in the building). On the good side, the staff was most helpful. I had made it clear when I checked in that a good internet connection was an absolute necessity. When I could not get a good connection in the room I was given, I was moved to a more expensive room (at no additional cost) that was next to the motels wireless router which assured me an excellent connection. They also gave me personalized assistance in establishing a connection to the motels wireless network. Personally, I would never stay here again unless it is totally rebuilt. My desperate needs at the time was the only reason I stayed this time.

Room Tip: Let your specific needs be know at check-in. Internet access, refrigerator, bed size, noise (not nea...

“Yep, America's WORST”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My room was fine. Everything worked ok. They charge you an extra $5 for a microwave and another $5 for a small refrigerator. Everything looks ok during the day.....until the sun goes down. Then it's party time for all the bugs INCLUDING cockroaches!

As soon as I saw one, I packed up and I LEFT at 1 a.m.! I shook all my clothes out in my garage when I got home to make sure none of them were in my luggage.

The building attached which is 10 stories high, has been shut down. So dont think you can get a floor above the 4th floor in the main building. I'm attaching photos I took.

Room Tip: Go somewhere else!

“You get what you paid for.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011 via mobile

Stayed there one night got two rooms, there were two empty sockets and a blow bulb, wall was starting to peel a little, people were screaming outside at 6 am, small space, electricity died in both rooms, and the tv wouldn't shut off had to unplug it. You get what you paid for the rate was pretty good. Good location as well.

“AMERICAS BEST? MORE LIKE THE WORST OF THE WORST!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011

This place was the hotel from hell! It was disgusting. The walls were rotting at the floor boards, the were holes in the wash cloths looked like 1000 moths took over them. There were holes in the curtains, the carpets were wet from the A/C which is what rotted the walls, and it had mold in the walls. The furniture was broke. The rooms SMELLED! we couldnt even get a key for the room because their machine broke. The box springs were so old and nasty they were rusting through. When you held up the comforters all the guts fell to the bottom of them. I cannot express how nasty this place was. The neighborhood is like GHETTO CENTRAL, someone got into a fight in the parking lot at like 3 in the morning. There is a lounge that all the surrounding hotel guest wander into and get hammered to leave and make as much noise as possible on their way out. The workers cussed up a storm as we were going in at one point, and when i said something they got rude with us. The General Manager is an utter jerk off. He still will not refund us for the night from hell!
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DO NOT TAKE YOUR FAMILY HERE! I WOULDNT LET MY DOG SLEEP IN THIS CRAP HOLE!
