Don't do it. Seriously. Don't do it.
Pros:

This was the absolute worst place I have ever stayed. I never leave reviews, and I don't do negative reviews, but this was a literal trap house. It was not bad, it was not habitable. It should literally be quarantined. I don't even know where to start. The sheets were not clean and had stains all over them. The floors, walls, doors, looked like they had been completely destroyed. There was mold everywhere. The bathtub had a hole in it. I couldn't even set foot into the bathroom because of how bad it was. Don't do it. Seriously don't do it. We did not stay there. It would have been a health risk. When we asked for a refund they refused even though we were not staying. (We went to a different hotel). They said, "it's a budget hotel". No it is a literal trap house. No idea how this place is still open.

Stay away
Pros:

Pet friendly

Cons:

In need of repairs. Light fixtures rusty,dirty,exposed wiring, crumbs and debris under beds, sliding door with dirty- torn curtain that didn't cover entirely, furniture worn , bath tub rusted and the old yellowish color from the 70' s, holes in sheets, door jams with paint gone and black. Bathroom sink counter worn- peeling- discolored. Door to bathroom doesn't close all the way. Smoke alarm missing batteries. Non operational cars on site. Poorly patched bathroom ceiling, peeling paint on ceiling. Only 2 electric outlets which had old lamps and tv- refrigerator plugged in. So had to unplug to charge phone. Paid over $200 per night. This place would not pass section 8 - HUD . Looks like people live in some rooms.

If you’re desperate
Pros:

This stay was a stay of desperation due to lack of finances. The conditions were horrible. Mold, roaches, tattered furniture, bathroom looked horrible but was functional. The actual company attempted to charge my card several times after payment had already been made. It was a bad stay all the way around.

Total disgrace of a hotel.
Pros:

The worst hotel I could have booked. The health department of Florida should go and close that this Hotel. I wouldn’t even called it a hotel. The room is in a terrible condition. There is mold and filthy stuff everywhere in the room. Asking for a $50 deposit for pets and then not to return it because the front office calls it “non refundable “ is called hidden fees. To have cardboard cover windows and stained drapes is an absolute disgrace. I would suggest Hotels.com not to allow properties like this charge over $100 for a night stay when is not even worth $10. Totally upset with this place. There are stains in the hallway carpet from who knows how long.

Worst Rat-trap, Roach Motel in America!
Pros:

This is the most disgusting hotel I have seen in over 50 years. It should be condemned. Hotel.com should vette their affiliated hotels better. This is a rat-trap roach motel in the most ddefinitive way. Please send someone to site visit this disgusting place and have them shut down.

Pros:

I didn't like it. I was double charged. Expedia wouldn't help clear the charges up. OYO manually enter the additional charge. I'm assuming fraud. Very disappointed. Don't plan on using expedia again.

0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!
Pros:

I reserved the room a week in advance, gave my card information online even tho I don’t normally do that, just to arrive and be told they were Overbooked and couldn’t help me, during a Hurricane, and sorry good luck! Terrible. I even called on the way there to confirm reservation. They could have contacted me, or told me before I drove 4 hrs for no reason. Also had a lot of drug users standing around outside, looked like a few lives there I’m not sure. It looked run down, just terrible all around.

Pros:

It is what you would expect if you were renting nightly for $30 / day. Bring your own toilet paper and towel. Those were not provided during my stay. Although, there was one towel but it was noticeably dirty.

There was a $50 cash deposit which I was hesitant to leave but I took a picture of the hand written contract and it was returned upon my exit.

Pros:

This will be a long review because I want to be detailed...First of all every person i interacted with that worked at the hotel was nice. There was a tall caucasian maintenance guy that was nice and the two people at the front desk were as well. As for the property itself...it's almost hard to believe that this place is even allowed to be open with it being so filthy. First of all the section i was in had a hallway and the carpet was Filthy. There was trash all over it including a used Qtip that was in the hallway the whole time we were there. They need some cleanup ladies. I don't think it's that hard to (at the very least) just go to walmart and get a couple of vaccuums and just vaccuum the floors. You have to CARE how your business looks. Second...the rooms are old and they look BAD. The sink was cracked and rusty. The balcony was dirty and had an old dirty chair on it. The walks had all kinds of spots. I mean...this place was FILTHY. These rooms look older than the first room built on Noahs Ark. I feel like that's the fault of whoever owns the place. Upgrades are needed, because the pictures that are available online are definitely misleading. The room didn't look as clean as the pictures i saw. I saw a nice picture of the lobby, but then i get there and try to walk in and wasn't even allowed in the lobby lol. No big deal. The bed was VERY comfy. We never saw any bugs. They need to catch up with society because there was no phone in the room and no iron. GREAT LOCATION.

Pros:

There was mold everywhere. The room was filthy. Blood on the shower curtain. Floors sticky. The beds had a foul odor. I paid through Expedia but still got charged a deposit. And extra money for 30 min early check in.
Drugs and prostitution in the back of the property.
