Close to airport but lobby full of loud talking guests. One was a European man who was upset that the outdoor pool wasn’t open during the cold snap when it was only 50 degrees outside.

It was after 3:00 before we could check in. The staff was kind of cranky. The computer didn't work. All the carpet in the hallways was ripped out. I was looking for an ice machine: they were sposed to be on 2nd and 3rd floors. I tried 2nd floor first(I wasn't allowed on that floor because of major renovation going on), 3rd floor - I found one that didn't work, so I checked 4th floor and there it was :) Beds were good. I don't remember for sure if I was informed when booking that it was in a state of disrepair, but I sure should have been! Anyway, it still worked for us since we only needed it for 12 hours. It was a good location for us so we could be at the Sanford airport by 4:00 AM. I was sad to have to miss breakfast but they had some things out that I was allowed to take with me.

It was the worst hotel experience we have ever had. Lost our reservation. Smelly and duty. Carpets were worn down and filthy. We had a late flight in. Outbreaks we would have liked for a different hotel Slept about 2 hours in our clothes and left early. We do not recommend this hotel. We refer to it as the hotel hell.

They were in the process of remodeling/redecorating so of course there was Some areas that were not up to standard. I’m sure it will be nice when it’s complete. Also we asked for a wake up. Call at 3 AM but did not come through. Fortunately, our cell phones were a back up or we could have missed a flight.

The only positives about this hotel were Naili and Gary, and the ease to the airport. Naili and Gary went above and beyond. From getting us a room early and Gary getting there early so we weren't late for our flight. The room we stayed in (414) had black mold actively growing on the bathroom walls. You could see the mold under the paint and caulk. There was some orange stuff stuck to the wall by the toilet. Wish I could post pictures.

We stayed hear for one night, as it is very close to the Sanford Airport. The hotel is a little tired and could use some attention. What the hotel does have is the nicest staff. A special shout out to Gary who does wonders with the breakfast buffet. His extra special treats are so nice. The people at the front desk are very welcoming.
