Decent stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Feb 2023
Good location near the university and also plenty of fast-food restaurants in walking distance. Room was large with fridge, microwave and iron/board. About 56 TV channels, and safe in room. But, no hair dryer. Shower was powerful and hot water. Sleep was good and not much noise from street. Exercise room was a bit disappointing – 3 machines and some free weights and scale. Breakfast was fine with hot foods like eggs, turkey and pork sausages, cinnamon rolls, breads, yogurts, etc. Only issue was front desk service. The man when I checked in was barely polite – it was like I was ruining his day. It took 5 minutes for the front attendant to come when I needed a receipt to check out. Other than that – I would stay again and worth the price - $145 for Monday evening stay.

I visited Tallahassee as a part of a road trip I am making and stayed at the hotel for points. The room I got was on the street. The road was very close. I requested to change a room, but there wasn't another of the same type as mine available. The receptionist said that since this is not a weekend night, it will be quiet, and he was right.
The room was gigantic. you could hold a party in there. I managed to get a good night sleep. The location was convenient enough and close to downtown (though driving is required).

Stayed here while visiting my son at FSU. While nothing fancy, our room was very clean and the bed and pillows super comfortable. I slept better here than at the Hampton Inn for half the price.

My friend took advantage of the free breakfast and enjoyed it very much. Coffee was fresh and hot and the staff is very nice.

If you’re looking for a no- frills stay in Tallahassee within walking distance to just about everything, including the stadium, this is a great place.

Room tip: Remember you’re in a college town/city. It’s noisy outside.

We stayed here on moving day for our daughter at FSU. It was right next to her apartment and across the street from FSU. Great location and a really nice room. We got a king bed and the room was nicely decorated and updated. We will be back again when in town.

Not what I expect

We stayed here as a family prior to an FSU visit in March 2022.

My wife is a Spire Elite member. We have stayed in numerous IHG properties across the country. This place was distinctly different in a bad way. The clerk was rude and the lobby was a mess. When we inquired about a 1 pm late check-out, he replied, “That’s too late for me.”
The breakfast was mostly unattended, the serving utensils were broken, and many things needed restocking. The silverware was not single serve, individually wrapped pieces as I would expect during a COVId pandemic.
The room was clean, although it had an accent wall painted with the ugliest royal blue I’ve seen. I would not stay here again.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at this hotel during the Christmas holidays. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel. The staff was very warm, friendly and inviting. I was booked into a king room which was both spacious and very comfortable. They offer a complementary hot breakfast each morning which was very tasty. The parking lot is very well lit and no charge. I definitely plan to return to this hotel in the future when I visit Tallahassee.

Room tip: Ask for a room away from the main road Request extra soap and shampoo
