The hotel was out of a horror movie, the worst night i have ever spend and it was only one night and was worried about safety and cleanliness but I had to sleep for a road trip. everything was extremely dirty and old. Picture are not from this hotel and is seems the area is extremely dangerous bc the lobby is not even open to the public they only have an small window outside and this is hotel is definitely a shelter for homeless, I was offered 3 rooms and ALL of them smell like cigarettes or really bad BO this whole experience was sooo traumatic I am so pissed with this hotel and expedia

The gentleman checking me in was wonderful. However, the room was not clean when I checked in. One of the beds was missing a pillow. The bathroom had not been cleaned. There was a towel on the door (used), and soap bars on the floor and left in the shower. The box springs were dirty. The blankets smelled. The room was also musty. If you need a room out of desperation, this is it.

I thought lt would at least be decent; last minute trip holiday weekend and everything else was booked. The whole outside needs a power wash; no tissues, everything falling apart; stains and burns on the comforter! But, it’s only for 1 night!

Absolutely nasty roach infested and need s remodeling. The young lady at the desk was nice the only thing good about it was she gave us a chance to see the room before we pay for it and I gracefully declined. Looks like an old abandoned property. I would not recommend anyone to stay there even though online it was cheap. I would suggest that people stay at the studio 6 behind this hotel. It was well kept comfortable and much much more. That is where I'll stay when I come back to Pensacola. It was also inexpensive but very accommodating.
