Great price, cable, they do clean the rooms good . We found this when we have to evacuate for hurricane in Sept. They could've done price gouging , but they didn't. I will go here again if need be. The young man who works the front desk , and answers the phone is too notch. What a pleasure to have an accommadatng , competant, and helpful, decent human being TY TY TY. Fast food near by :)
Outdated ( but we expected that from pics), but VERY CLEAN , cold A/C , soft bed & sheets smelled fresh. Our room also had a little fridge & microwave & they had a pool that was clean. If your looking for a place to sleep & shower your good. Just bring your own shampoo as they don't provide any also the staff is very kind & I felt safe here. Is also very close to the stadium- we were in town for the Gator game as were the majority of other people staying there...friends tailgating next to us paid the same for 1 night at another hotel as what we paid for 3 nights here! We have season tickets & this is where we are booked for all the games
Great service there was a guy there named shawn he kept on putting his hair back but he didnt have any. Nevertheless the service was excellent loved the rooms we slept like baby.
I was impressed. It was clean and room remodeled, non-smoking with a King-size bed. Some guests around is just unavoidable but luckily they were not that loud.
This establishment is very low key. You’re really paying for convenience, especially if you’re in town for a football game. The staff are incredibly nice, friendly and accommodating. The room is simple with cable tv and a comfy bed. EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN. It is located by tons of restaurants. And 9 minutes from the stadium.
Does need a few touch ups but nothing that interferes with ur stay they were very polite and it was pretty quite and peaceful the beds were comfortable and they were quick to take garbage and replace towels the next day
I was pleasantly surprised. This is an older motor lodge but the rooms were clean and everything seemed to be updated. Great bed. We would definitely stay here again. Only drawback was the air unit. It was either cold or warm. I couldn't get it quite right.
It was a very decent room for the price but the location of the room wasn't a good spot had drugs being sold in the next room door slamming every few mins... Got no rest at all and that was the reason for even going there
Clean rooms, affordable, polite and nice owner/employees, no bugs!! I looked at the reviews for all the other budget hotels in this area and they were all horrible ! The travelers inn isn't super fancy but it is clean and not sketchy. A great option when you need a cheap place to stay. Highly recommended and also I would def stay again in the future
The room was ready early. It had bad pillows and toilet paper. Had to get more of each. But it's wasn't bad for the price.
This casual, low-rise hotel is 6 miles from Gator National Raceway, 1.3 miles from the University of Florida and 5 miles from the Florida Museum of Natural History.
