The Wi-Fi is slow. Real slow. In fact it keeps shutting down when you're using it or not. The room is very clean and nice. But a little small. It's in excellent shape for a motel as old as it is. I called the day before we went to stay and they quoted me a price of $425. A week. When we went to check in it was $100. A day. A nice quiet motel but not worth $100. A day. Sorry
They give me a Fair price. This is one of those ones, that they will not cheat you.
I live at this motel and I love the environment and the staff. I find the staff to be helpful, and kind. Living here is like living in a studio apartment being that they provide refrigerator and microwave. This place is legit
Seems like a nice place to stay !!!, first time, friendly staff, cheap !!!
Closest thing to the Trump hotel that jacksonville has to offer. Simply put, a 5 star hotel.
Very comfortable rooms... Quiet atmosphere. Nice place to relax.
The owners are very nice. The rooms are clean and the environment is quiet. Laundry facility is nice as well.
Expansive area with cool bars in Riverside, the Cummer Museum of Art & hiking in Cary State Forest.
