First room wasn't made up. Poor mgr tried hard but pool was closed, telephone in room didn't work, no coffee machine in room, no hot water, tv doesn't work. We're leaving and going to the Holiday Inn Express. I should have read the other reviews first!

You would be better off sleeping in your car. This place seriously sucks! We stayed in a "remolded" room. It was old, filthy and bug infested. We were going to stay for two days but was waiting at the front door to the office at 0800. No one was there. We waited until 10:00 and still no one was there.... More

This hotel suffers from management and staff that DO NOT CARE. We had to replace bulbs to have light, share one towel set and share the rooms with bugs both dead & alive. Watched the cleaning staff neander the property, but never really clean anything! Too bad this ideal location is NOT worth the stay.

This place is horrible, bugs in and outside the hotel. Curtains filled with dead spiders, electrical junction boxes exposed on the floor easily to catch fire (room 220). The day staff was horrible. No towels, no soap, no shampoo. The old man did not care about the service. He said "you can go home and I will not charge you".... More

Over the last 2 years we have stayed here 4 times (x single nights ) as we are fond of historical sanford, and enjoy evenings there, but never again staying at this place. The place was adequate and cheap on our first visit, had coffee makers in room, and a basic breakfast, but has deteriorated rapidly since. First room had... More

There is a lot of lost potential at this location. Rooms marked as "non-smoking" reaked of smoke, unbearable. Mildew and mold in shower/tub. Office did not open til 9AM daily. Ducks were swimming in the motel pool at 7AM. Very unsanitary. No coffee and nowhere to get breakfast.

We made reservations and like you read the reviews. We called ahead because of concerns and was told we would get a renovated room on the 2nd floor. After arriving we asked to see the room and the first room had a rusted out heater with the front grille missing. The second room we looked at wasn't much better. Due... More

The only good thing about this motel..that is exactly what it is..was the view and that was from outside the room as the windows were so filthy. I slept in my clothes due to questionable stains on the bed linens. The bathroom is so small the towels are kept in a basket on the desk. There is no coffee maker... More
