Will go back.

Won't lie, from outside it doesn't look the best. But the rooms were updated and clean, with a fridge and microwave. And its literally across the Fairgrounds, so you can just cross the street and you're there for your live show. Would definitely go back at this rate!!! Better than driving hours back home after the show. Winghouse in the parking lot and 5 guys a few spots down the road. Great location.

Not fancy but definitely good enough

This hotel is directly across the street from the MidFlorida Arena - so an excellent choice if you are going to a concert. The beds were more comfortable than I expected. The room had a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee machine. Not fancy but definitely good enough.

This place gets a lot of bad reviews but we found it clean, the staff was friendly, and it's a hop across the street to the fair grounds. There's a place to eat right in the parking lot and a connected gas station. We will stay there again for the next show at the amphitheater

For the money it was ok. I read a lot of reviews about this place and it lived up to the reviews. There was one roach. But the place was clean. It was very very conveniently close to the amphitheater. I walked back and forth to the amphitheater with no trouble at all. It was very close. I could hear the bands warming up earlier in the day from outside my room.

Worst hotel I have ever experienced

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The carpet was wet and smelled like urine. The sheets were stained and other peoples hair was in between the sheets. The bathrooms were tiny and the renovations were sloppy. If you have any other options do not book here.

the room was disgusting. there was chicken on the floor? hair on the bed and towels. A black stain on the hand towels. The fridge was dirty. There was also a creep that kept parking next to me and shouting at me to “ask a question” but then stating i don’t wanna shout the question, so i would get closer. never have felt this unsafe. I moved to the back of the hotel. and minutes later he drives around sees my car and parks across.

Gross and gross

Booked this room for one night, did not have super high expectations. Good thing because even the smallest one was too much. Check in was fine, however there are no elevators to get to the second floor. Only stairs. Also was not given the WiFi password to be able to use the complimentary WiFi as listed in amenities. Parking spaces are small, and short. Room: Upon entering room, it was stuffy and warm because the ac unit was OFF. Promptly shut the curtains to the window and turned on filthy ac unit. Carpet/rug wasn’t the cleanest, and the vinly flooring had some kind of gross slick film on it. DID NOT walk barefoot. Hair on bathroom floor, bath mat was dirty and stained, and the tub had dirt and grime in it. The bed had fake eyelashes in it from a previous guest staying. The pillows were the most flat and uncomfortable pillows. Took the room FOREVER to cool down. All in all, never book here. Spend the extra money and stay down the road at the La Quinta. But you do get a complimentary cup of coffee the next morning.

When we arrived, we heard about other guests having a roach infestation at their room, but we decided to hi ahead and give it a try, as we were doing a late check-in after midnight. When we opened the door, the smell of cigarettes was potent and hard to ignore. We did not complaint, as other guests complaining about roaches were deemed as "problematic". Room was dirty, sheets had stains, bathtub full of human hairs. Disgusting. Do not stay here. Although I only paid $109 with tax per night, I'm sure a $100 extra a night are worth it in another hotel nearby.
