I do not like leaving bad rooms but this place deserves it. There was NOTHING good about my experience here. The person at the front desk was not friendly, the room had a funny smell to it. The hot water was minimally like warm, the TV didn't work, the towels were not only dirty but we're rough enough to use as sand paper, the water had such a bad taste to it that I couldn't brush my teeth, and even though this is Florida, it was 44 degrees in the morning and the heater didn't work!

We checked in at 9:50. We waited an hour before we turned on the AC. The AC was so loud that we couldn't hear the TV. The white parts of the comforter were a dingy tan color. The motel was mostly empty. When we asked to switch rooms I was told we couldn't because we had already been there an hour and there were no other rooms available even though the parking lot was empty. The front desk staff were unhelpful. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Room 124 is not a good room. Plus the mini fridge didn't work.

For an older hotel with efficiencies absolute best you're going to get around Winter Haven rooms are extra clean I had full kitchen huge 50-inch TV Smart TV functions and Spectrum cable box with an older hotel like this you would assume bugs I have not seen not one everything is well-maintained and the owner is the nicest lady everything you need is walking distance with the bus stop in front I have been here three weeks and I will not try my luck anywhere else good place good people"** Best In Haven**

Stayed at this place for TWO weeks! 😩 Rooms are very uncomfortable and nasty. The sink stopped up after day two! The toilet would loosen everytime somebody sat on it. Holes in the beds ect... I left my room one night and came back BEFORE midnight and came back to my stuff locked up in the room because the owner locked it up and demanded I pay $100 to get my stuff or stay. Police were called and all. His wife even verbally attacked my fiance. Wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to sleep in this filth.

The room is clean is the only positive thing I can say. There is no ice or ice machine. The kitchenette has a full size stove but a mini frig. What sense does that make. They tell you in my case 210.00 then charge you 248.00. They don't even provide an invoice!!! Just your credit card showing the charge. This has got to be illegal. They hound you about not smoking in the rooms and to keep it clean but don't even have a PHONE IN THE ROOM. I will never stay here again! Thank goodness it is just for the one week. After speaking with the manager I have changed my rating. He was very accomodating and explained how and why the charges were what they were. He also explained in an attempt to keep the overhead down they don't have a lot of the amenities larger chains may have. Like I
