    The first room assigned had a toilet that was not sealed to the floor. The room was then changed to a different one. This place is more like a motel with weekly/monthly tenants. Would not recommend or stay at again.

    Great A/C. This is clearly an escort motel...not a hotel. Room was dirty. The microwave was locked. Thank God i was only there 1 night. Never ever again. I forget to mention I feel on the stair and landed on ground and my head slammed in the vending machine. No, i wasn't drunk.

    Unfortunately we had our first very bad experience in a hotel, we left 15 min after we checked in, yes, we didn’t even stay the night. When we arrived there was an employee smoking a cigarette coming out of the lobby, the room had a very strong smell like cleaning spray and perfume, I found a big hair in one of the towels, floor was not clean my 5 year old son took off his shoes and his socks were immediately black, also the lock had a big piece of black tape right above were you scan your keycard you couldn’t see the whole lock piece and sorry it felt very unsafe. We found this hotel last min we needed to be in town just that night and I understand the price was cheap, that’s why I wasn’t expecting luxury but basic cleaning yes! We are very much expecting a refund!!!

    5/5

    The room was clean. Although the hotel has done some basic renovations, it seems that many guests do not take good care of the rooms, which causes them to wear down quickly and require more maintenance than usual. The beds were acceptable and clean, and the towels were clean as well. What I didn’t like is that you may come across some unpleasant people in the parking lot or in the hallways.

    Other than the first night clerk, the other employees were nice. At least they had coffee in the room. The first room I checked into had huge yellow stains on the mattress pad. There were three layers of sheets and mattress covers on top of it, as if they were intentionally trying to cover it. It was disgusting. After my flight was delayed on the runway for 2 1/2 hours, and got me in at 2:30 AM, I was in no mood. Went down to request a replacement room or a refund; the employee was truly unsurprised by my complaint. He gave me a different room. Still had stains all over the mattress pad, but at least the sheets appeared clean, the stains appeared to have been run through the wash. Still gross. Also, the water was barely drinkable, stank of chlorine.

    I found this place at the last minute, and boy was I in for a surprise. if you’re looking for a place to stay with your standards looking at the pictures on the website or higher you’re in for a treat this place is despicable inside it’s no better looking then the parking lot when you pull up.The whole entire stay was terrible, the safety lock was broken on the doors. The chair in the room look like you could catch a staff infection looking at it. The bathroom fixtures had mold around it. We fear for our safety. We had to use that same staff infection chair to put against the door so we can feel safe and the top it off my neighbor cried the whole night like she was having withdrawals. The police was called shine their lights seems like forever I checked out at 4 AM. Could not take it any longer if your looking for a place to stay please let this spot not be a choice for you.

    Parking was easy and enough but the room was disgusting. The bathroom shower curtain had black spots on it like moldy looking. And the blow dryer was not cleaned off from the use of the last people who visited. The curtains in the bedroom also had dirt spots on them and they didn’t close properly so there was a little crack in the curtains for anyone who wanted to peek into the room at any time. Overall this place needs better cleaning and renovation.

    am extremely disappointed with my recent stay. One of my biggest concerns was the type of guests loitering around the grounds. It created an uncomfortable and unsafe atmosphere, I could not relax.also unacceptable. The drapes were in need of washing, and the window sill had dust that should have been cleaned prior to any guest arrival. The mattress was worn out and clearly needs replacing, as does the flooring, which appeared aged and poorly maintained.The bathroom was especially concerning. It is in serious need of a professional deep cleaning. The caulking around the shower/tub area needs to be redone, and the tub itself should be refinished. Overall upkeep fell far below basic hospitality standards.

    Bugs on the ceiling while we were asleep we woke up and saw them above our head. The tub does not drain we had to take 1min showers because while we showered the water begin to cover our feet because tub was not draining. The drain had old hair etc tangled up it's not telling what type of residue we stood in while showering. I'm still praying me or my baby do not break out on our feet in the future. Hotel was not sympathetic at all they only offered me a 20% refund back even with the photos and videos of the bug on ceiling and videos of the water growing while we showered.

    Our room was filthy. The bed sheets had stains that looked like urine. The bathtub looked like it had not been scrubbed in over a month. The sink was unattached to the countertop and has a water leak on the floor. The floor was sticky and the counters were dusty. The desk had a drawer noticeably broken. The room smelled moldy. This was the worst hotel experience we have ever had to date. We literally walked in and then had to lug our things back down two flight of stairs to our vehicle all while trying to find another hotel to stay in. I turned in the key to the gentleman at the front desk and he didn’t even bother to ask why we were checking out. Horrible customer service and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I am going to dispute the charges with our credit card company since we weren’t even offered a different room.

    Our room smelled like mildew when we walked, in, and the bathroom smelled strongly of urine. We avoided the bathroom as much as possible and got out quickly in the morning. The walls were dirty, and the floors weren't clean. The sink wasn't installed properly, and there was a general feeling that all of the repairs made to the room were done by an amateur. Thankfully we were only staying one night and the beds were made with clean linens. The pillows were also tiny and pretty uncomfortable. They were more the size of throw pillows than standard queen-sized pillows. Overall, wouldn't stay here again unless there was a major hike in the housekeeping standards. It's crazy to pay over $150/night for such a subpar experience.

    Hardly a breakfast with cereal or Belgium waffle option. Road noise was very load. Morning staff was frustrated to be at work. He couldn’t believe people were ready for breakfast at 7:10 when breakfast hours were from 6-10. Waffle batter was not ready until 7:15.

    I went to enter my room and someone was already occupying it! Never had that happen anywhere. Also the phone didnt work so I could not call front desk. Then someone banged on the door. Maybe they rented my room to someone else!

    This place was terrible! From the moment I walked into the lobby I knew it was bad! Nothing looked like the pictures on the website. The room was filthy, the tub clogged, the pillows were small and flat, the curtains were dirty, ripped, and provided no privacy! The place is completely outdated and unkept. Definitely not what we expected!

    The place was not clean. The hair dryer did not work. The ac was not good. The shower did not get warm at all. I travel to area to see my daughter at FAU often and I would not return or recommend this hotel. Dogs roaming the lobby not on a leash and in the room that they had the breakfast!

    So we switched rooms, and the bathroom light in the new room didn’t work, at all… In the neighborhood behind the hotel, they had dogs barking by 7:30am. They allowed a semi truck to park in their already small parking lot and blocked in cars. I book all my travel plans with Expedia and never ran into a problem like that during check in. For the price I feel like the rest was expected but I’ve stayed in other Quality Inn’s that were waaaay more impressive than this.

    It’s not a bad property. Slightly older but it was on par with many other quality inns I’ve stayed at. We did have a room on the front so we were able to hear the louder vehicles that went by. But the room was clean and the beds were clean with no stains so that’s that a big criteria for me.

    The hotel room was extremely dirty and out dated. The bed dress has a white mold and the mattress protector and covers showed signs of a previous issue with bed bugs. Blood speckles on the bedding and pillows. The pillows were also folded and looked like throw pillows that you would put on a couch. There was a desk and rolling chair that did not fit the room. If you wanted to pass them you had to put the chair in a corner to make space. The only caveat to this place was that when we brought all this to their attention they moved us to an identical room above with all the same issues as the previous unit. In this unit we saw a torn shower curtain and hole in the door, it looked like their was some domestic violence dispute that took place upstairs, with bedding issues which were even worst then the first unit!!!

    This was not a hotel, it was a motel. It is very much unlike any other Quality Inn I've ever stayed in. Breakfast was waffles that you make yourself and the pool area was neglected w/ ripped lounge cushions, stuff floating in water, and light posts that swayed in the wind. However, on a posive note, the beds were super comfy.

    The (door) to the bathroom did not close, it was a sliding door that just came to the end of the opening, did not provide any privacy. The thermostat was really difficult to adjust, if the temp was too cold then if you raised it, the heat would come on. Constantly working to get it to cool, then after heat.

    This property is old and run down. From dirt on the walls to mold in the bathroom. This place has a continental breakfast with very little choices. Bran flakes, old brown bananas, and a waffle maker. Total waste of money. There is a Holiday inn close by that would be a better choice.

    For $169 for one night, the room was OK. The toilet moved when we sat on it, the ac was not blowing on high as set, breakfast was nothing, no bread. The outlets in the room were very loose and we had a difficult time plugging items in. The cabinet door that covered the refrigerator did not close properly, it would not close at all.

    The room was very disappointing. The chair was stained and dirty. The lamp had not been dusted or cleaned for a long time. Outlet covers were missing. Bathroom door did not shut. Shower head only had about 1/4 of holes working. Blow dryer was dirty and not cleaned off. Mattress was old and saggy. Nothing was clean or kept up. So disappointing. We selected this hotel because it displayed as 3 stars. We paid way more than it was worth. We did not go to breakfast since we felt like nothing was clean or sanitary and we wanted to leave as soon as we were ready.

    This was surprisingly one of the cheapest places near Boca Raton and it was probably worth about half of that. Rooms were dated and had a slight odor and weren't super clean. Issues with the TV (Winston however was very nice and came to help us fix it). There are a few shops along the road and some places to eat, but other than that I don't think we'd pay that much to stay here again.
