“STINKY room !!! Poor service.”

Reviewed April 1, 2013

Warning!! If mold / mildew smell is a problem DO NOT stay here. We tried putting the a/c on high and the odor got much worse. Also, the shuttle service to the casino is NOT reliable. They tell you they run every hour but it's only if it's convenient for them. We waited a half hour for our shuttle only... More

This hotel was ok. Had great location next to the Florida State Fairgrounds and had a shuttle to the casino. Felt the hotel wasn't kept very clean. Everytime you got on the elevator there was dirt on the floor. If you looked at the corners on the floors they were dirty. Room was average-needs a little updating. Room was clean... More

“Clean hotel and great staff!”

Reviewed January 3, 2013

We stayed at this hotel after our reservations was lost at the casino, and never regretted it. Wonderful staff with clean rooms, great continental breakfast. I would have given it a 5 dots, had it not been for the noisy kids above us.
