I thought I found a great deal, but even at the very low price I paid, it was not worth it. Our room was Bldg 3-Rm 120. The main door lock didn't work properly, so you had to close the door multiple times before it would latch. We killed at least a dozen baby roaches. The room smelled musty. The carpet was stained. The curtains were filthy. The bathroom door was rotten and did not close. There was a hole in the bathroom ceiling that was poorly patched. There was ketchup stains (or at least I hope it was ketchup) on the wall. The electrical outlet by the sink would work intermittently. Only the top portion of the outlet by the table worked. I could go on and on. I took pictures but there is no option to post them here. I'm not sure how they have an occupancy license. The place is not safe. It's in a great location and was very cheap, but like I said, not worth it. I can not recommend. The ladies who checked me in and out were very nice. I felt sorry for them. I know they must hear complaints from people all the time. They knew better than to ask "How was your stay?"

Where the authorities are in Orlando, Florida (The health department), this is unacceptable.
We will never return to this place. It's the worst and it's disgusting, it smells like garbage, wet dog, cigarettes and more. See my photos on google review. Because I can't upload them here. Thank goodness it was only one night because otherwise we were going to get sick from all the mold in the room. I can't believe how these people are rated three stars!

If you expect to be checked into a clean room, change that. We were given keys to not one, but TWO unclean rooms - beds obviously slept in, trash everywhere and smelling horribly of leftovers that had been sitting out rotting for hours if not days.
The office staff moved with no haste to fix this, and offered no compensation other than a late check out (like we’d want to stay there later then necessary).
Other than being checked into dirty rooms the rooms themselves aren’t kept in good condition, mold in the bathrooms, holes in the walls and general damage that shouldve been repaired a long time ago.
I don’t care how cheap it is - spend a little more money and stay somewhere much nicer.

Upon arrival I was met with a very cold and distant person working the front desk. I was not told I would be paying $164 (paid on booking site) plus an additional $140 for the room. Once I turned to leave a gentleman approached the desk to complain about the smell of his room. They call themselves a resort but this would put all resorts to shame. I get it they're cheap but that's all. They're not clean, they reek of bleach, mold, and mildew. There was black mold painted over you could see it in patches on the ceiling and there was more easily visible in the door frame of the bathroom. The carpets look like they've never been cleaned nor were they properly installed in the first place! There are weird stains everywhere most of them are an orange brown color which gave off the feeling of old blood stains. The beds are probably older than me, the outside appeared run down, and the door to our room didn't feel secure. We booked for multiple nights but left after attempting to stay for one night after not being able to sleep due to not feeling safe or comfortable. I was also starting to feel ill due to the horrid smells that we tried to cover up with air freshener. Don't listen to the positive reviews they're most likely people the owners/workers know who are leaving good reviews to make people feel like it's not as bad as it is but it is!! Many businesses do this to stay afloat and the only people who can dispute the reviews are the businesses owners so why would they dispute a good one?? Spend an extra $40 a night for a better, cleaner, safer place!

Well if you have the opportunity to stay anywhere else I would! Maintenance is not a priority here! Waiting for someone to let us in our room because the door is stuck and they aren’t in a hurry to let us in. The room is very musty, doesn’t feel clean. Beds are very small and not very comfortable. It might have a good price but I promise it’s worth spending a little more to stay literally anywhere else. Light in our bathroom just hanging out of the ceiling, the room fridge doesn’t close all the way so the carpet is soaked in front of it. There’s trash on the walkways to get into your room.
