Run down beyond belief. Shower was barely able to provide temperature and had to mess with the faucet forever to get it to anything except cold. Bed was broken down on one side. No microwave. The only decent part was the TV.

Decent place to stay the night

The motel was clean and reasonably kept up, but I wouldn’t stay there as a single woman-with no partner with me. A lot of veterans and workers stayed there and the few women residents? stood outside to smoke and yell across at each other. There were a lot of friendly loud people milling around most of the night outside the door. The room had fresh paint & clean sheets, but the shower/tub hot water dial handle was broken and just dangled from the big protruding bolt. I worked for a while trying to get water from the shower. If the proceeds all go to homeless veterans, it was worth the price for the room. I’m all for worthy causes.

I'm a district manager for a restaurant chain in Lake City and visit here twice a month. I always stay at Motel 8 not just because of the price but because for the value you will not find a cleaner room, a better nights sleep and a more caring staff. Yes, its true it doesnt look like much from the outside but as they say "do not judge a book by its cover." You will be pleasantly surprised by how good the rooms are. I dont understand these people who write these ridiculous, nasty reviews because I have never had any issue with this hotel. No bugs, no stains on my sheets, great a/c's, nice flat screens with Roku, and although people who are there long term do converse outside they are nice people and very courteous of others. I know for a fact the hotel buys dozens of brand new sets of sheets and pillow cases every month. Every time I have been there I find a gift basket of drinks, snacks and hygiene products waiting for me in my room and there are always mints on the pillow. I like the staff and the owner because they give an extreme personalized touch. They know everyone there and they treat their guests with respect and friendliness. You are not just a signature. You are a welcomed guest.

Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!. Simply a great place to just relax and enjoy the night. Watch a movie on Netflix, grab a sandwich at Subway which is about 10 feet away, and lay back on a very comfortable bed. For a hotel that had been closed down for two years these guys have done an amazing job of fixing it up. I can honestly say this is one of the few hotels I have been to where it's obvious the sheets were clean and new. Even as I sit here they are putting up new drapes, new towels, new shower curtains. It's not a Hyatt, but it's not $300 a night either. The staff gave the word friendly a whole new meaning. we had a gift basket waiting in our room welcoming us, and throughout our stay they accommodated our every need. I had mentioned that I like sugar free iced tea and five minutes later he brings me a quart bottle of Gold Peak sugarless iced tea that they sell in their marketplace, no charge. It's just minutes away from the main part of town where you can find a hundred restaurants, walmart and other shopping. For the money I would stay there any time and will actually do so. What they lack in the extras they more than make up for it in their customer service and peaceful night sleep.

Well not the property I thought I was renting. This is not the place you want to stay at. AC was mounted near the ceiling we couldn't reach the controls. Hot water was nonexistent because it was leaking all over the floor in the bathroom area. Not enough towels for 2 people to take a shower. Won't be coming back.

Total bait and switch from what was advertised. Hands down the worse hotel I have ever stayed at. Booked two rooms and our friends left due to no hot water and dirty bed sheets. Had I not prepaid for the rooms, I would also have left. The place also had a sign on the office door instructing sexual predators to announce themselves. This was NO 7.8 rated hotel...more like 0.0 rated in my opinion.

Clean room. I requested a refrigerator because of medical issues. I was asked if I need to be checked on each day, and they would do this. I can only eat some foods and if I don't finish it, it has to be thrown away because I can't keep it cold. The room was in need of work done to it, but I would go back because of they wanted to make sure that I was alright. This hotel takes care of homeless Vets and there is a great need for them. God Bless them for this.
