Pros:

Staying with 3 children and Bugs were in the room, tried to speak to front desk and no one was around. No soap in the room, only shampoo and was not enough, should’ve given more effort in cleaning the room.

Pros:

Flight got canceled !! Was stuck in Houston and was not going to get to Florida until 2 days later. They refused and cancel my reservation cause I called 40 min past the cut off. So not only is my trip all messed up but no one wants to help either ! They all just want their money ! I will never book there again !

Barely acceptable
Pros:

The motel is ok if it’s the only place you can stay. If you have a choice, stay somewhere else.
Our stay was filled with killing bugs in our rooms, with dirty (stained) sheets, and the a/c units didn’t cool the room very well.

Sketchy Place
Pros:

This place is so outdated. It was horrible. Towels and bedding were not clean or washed properly. Hair and make-up on pillow cases. Room smelled like smoke. Had to be moved to another room. Carpet was old and sticky. Only there for one night. Also people roaming around looked like drug addicts. Very sketchy. Would stay clear of this place.

Pros:

The beds are very uncomfortable, they had 2 SMALL pillows on each bed, blankets looked dirty and had holes. There were no big towels or complimentary soap in the bathroom. Even for the price I paid it was a bad experience.

Pros:

Not sure why the health department hasn't closed this place. Pool was black. Two beds in my room. One had a fitted aheet as the top sheet. Two of the three lamps had no shade. Towels looked tan when they were supposed to be white. Deadbolt had something in the frame to prevent it from working. Ice bucket looked like someone had used it to cook in with food remaining. 82.00???? If it had been refundable, I'd have slept in my truck.

Pros:

WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. im a traveler for work, i’ve been all over country but this Carriage Inn in Cross City florida was the most disgusting place i’ve ever stepped foot into!!!! where to start.. firstly pulling up i was immediately uncomfortable with the types of people that were hanging around. shirtless men, groups of worker men. and just sketch looking people. but bc i hadn’t slept in 5 days because i have been traveling all over state i decided to give it a try and not judge book by cover. boy was i wrong i should’ve trusted my gut and drove right off but i already paid 104$ for room. old woman at the counter was nice but didn’t know how to check people in. after i got my room key i made my way up there excusing myself between all these men standing around the stair case. walked in and the first thing i noticed was a german roach on the wall above tv. decided to do some more looking around to see what other gross things were in here. 15 burn holes in the sheets between both beds. body fluid stains on bathroom mirror. mold and hair in shower. door hasn’t been been wiped down since the place opened a hundred years ago. microwave was caked with old food. room was hot and muggy. toilet seat had tape on it!!!! I wasn’t at this property for more than five minutes between check-in and going to the office to demand a refund which they told me they couldn’t give me and that I had to go through Expedia for it. the list goes on but don’t waste ur money!!! nasty service

Don't Ever Stay Here
Pros:

My brief but memorable stay was originally booked for three nights. I lasted one. The door didn't lock, l had to prop a chair under the door knob. The toilet didn't flush, the room smelled of poop. The bed mattress had bed bugs, l got bitten to pieces. There were no staff to complain to in the morning. I posted key and sent an email to check out. I will be claiming my money back for the two nights l didn't stay. If you really hate yourself book a night at the Carriage Inn Motel.
