This is our opinion of this hotel after staying there 2 nights. First it is not really a hotel. It is more, again in our opinion a homeless or as someone else has suggested a squatter's shelter. While it is posted ”NO SMOKING WITHIN 15 FEET OF ANYWHERE” , you must walk through cigarette smoke and smokers sitting on the walkways in old discarded chairs from the rooms. It also is posted ”NO HANGING OUT IN LOBBY”, to which was full of teens every evening and nights and also where the internet service is located. The lobby is so filthy it was not worth the try to even start to use the internet and who would trust it? In so far as the room, well a total demolition would be the best course of action to correct this abominable situation. Battery died within hours of checking in on the electronic door lock. Guest clerk had to unlock our room for us with a master key and a very nice and efficient your lady came to check it out and determine the battery needed to be replaced however had to obtain permission to go ahead and replace it then or wait until the next day. She was allowed to fix it then thankfully. Sleeping is kind of sparce as there is constant in and out by residents going our for a smoke and laughing, loud voices and yelling and screaming and children screaming and crying throughout the night. Was worried about our vehicle the entire time as it was covered in cigarette ash every morning and who knows who was in the parking at all hours. In walking our pups around the scratchy, un-watered grass we observed piles of trash littered through the property and of course mounds of poop scattered throughout. Numerous old discarded bicycles, grills, suitcases and furniture. This definitely not a place for normal people in our opinion. Actually I do not understand how the health department of Brevard County has allows this business to retain a license for occupancy. Would I stay here again, NO. Have I informed America's Best of this black spot on their reputation, yes. My advice, based on my opinion. Sleep in your car in a rest area or even a Wal-Mart parking lot, You will be much safer and better off. We would have never stayed here if we did not have our pups with us. We were visiting our daughter and her family who were staying a week in a condo oceanside and this was our only close option to them. Our experience validates most of the other reviews for us that I have read of this place in the last few years. Again these are our/ my opinion based on our experience at this ?????, whatever it is.
