Tallahassee Homestays

When I pulled up there was (I assume) a homeless person sitting out front to the left of the door and several other people (I am not sure if they were guests or not) hanging out around the front of the building. However, the front desk staff was amicable and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The room was clean, except for the curtains (something brown had been spilled on them). I would stay here again.

We arrived in the evening as a stop on our Big 2022 Road Trip. We were greeted by a friendly desk attendant in a non-air-conditioned lobby. We received our room cards and were instructed to ”park behind the partying contractors in the parking lot”. We let the ranchera music serenade us as we parked in a very busy lot for that late at night and proceeded past the picturesque courtyard and through the debris-strewn hallways to our room. We opened the ”experienced” door and saw a large room with a newer hardwood floor - but couldn't see much, as several light bulbs were broken or unplugged in the room and bath. Also, the AC was set at 61 degrees, but wasn't cooling at all - we removed the cover and saw that much of the AC mechanism was covered in crud and also iced up. We put a fan on the AC ice to melt it and see if it would work better and began to move in. Once Jose (a really nice maintenance man) brought bulbs and re-plugged some lights, we could see the walls were rather stained and the floor not exactly clean. The large flat-screen TV was good, but there was no remote. We went back to the front desk and asked for hand towels (none in the room) and a remote. We received a remote, but were told no towels at all were available in the evening. We settled in the warm and humid room and tried to relax, thankful that the walls did shut out all the festivities outside. But that's when we saw a small army of cockroaches swarm our bags on the table under the TV looking to share our snacks. We went to bed, but the AC never worked properly and we think the cockroaches stole some of our good cookies. We replenished our ice at the machine and went on our way. We wanted to speak with a manager, but after a somewhat long wait (behind other disgruntled customers) we were told one was not onsite and ”they'd take our comments”. Likes: friendly staff, nice courtyard, convenient location, good ice machine, reasonable price Dislikes: AC never worked (sweaty sleep isn't fun), very grubby room, light issues, insufficient towels, pool out of service, and those darn cockroaches

This hotel has an excellent location, but it seemed like a lot of the guests were a bit sketchy. There were people loitering around every exit door, lots of people sitting in their cars for hours until late at night, pacing around the grounds, driving in and out of the parking lot really fast while blasting their supercharged stereo systems, etc. There were almost no families or female travelers at this hotel. It was mostly males, either alone or in pairs. I didn't feel safe using any door of the hotel except for the front door because of all the guys just hanging around the grounds. The hotel itself is dark and musty, with extremely long hallways. It felt really creepy.
