Suburban Studios Tallahassee near University

The cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. The floors were disgusting as shown in the attached photo of my white socks after walking in the room without shoes for about 3 hours. The bathtub was disgusting (see photo). The toilet had a very weak flush and required intervention. Hot water was intermittent. There were wires hanging from the ceiling, presumably where a smoke alarm was missing. The front desk staff were friendly, however, when I called them in the afternoon to request somebody to address the toilet, they said they would send somebody but nobody ever came until I called again the following morning. I wouldn't stay there again. This time I didn't have a lot of choice because I was evacuating my home due to an hurricane and other places were booked.

When we arrive to check in and the clerk is behind a plate window with a small hole to help you, we did not feel good about the place. Our room was very basic but old and smelly. I checked the sheets and mattress for blood stains (always do at hotels) and there was no mattress pad on bed. Just the sheet. The mattress was stained and extremely old and extremely uncomfortable. The refrigerator did not work, the shower had terrible pressure, the air conditioner had sticky stuff on knobs and the filters were filthy. I never write many reviews but I felt other people need to know how awful this place is. AND… the worst part was I booked the hotel online seeing the beautiful pictures of it for $129 and I wouldn’t pay $29 a night. NEVER again would we stay here. Shame on you Hotels.com for even advertising this kind of hotel!! If we weren’t desperate for a room, we would have left immediately 😡

Stay was ok. But television wouldn't pick up any channels. Good thing i had my laptop.

This property is rough. Ended up here during emergency response for a hurricane due to other hotels being 100% booked. If not for a 24-hour stint at the emergency operations center, I would have slept in my car rather than stay in this room. In addition, Hotels.com has become very difficult to work with since combining with VRBO, etc., and gave me zero flexibility in a disaster situation which was very fluid. Last time I will use the Hotels.com app also.

The building looked fine from the outside, but upon closer inspection, there was trash all around the building, used condoms on the stairway, rats seen on the balcony area and the advertised pool was closed and green. The room seemed clean enough, but everything was in need up some updating. There was no remote for the TV, so we couldn't turn it on. The smoke detector started chirping in the middle of the night. If the batteries were changed every 6 months as recomended, this would never be a problem. Because this hotel has a kitchen in each room, it seems to have become basically, long term housing for its residents.

Floor sticky and roaches everywhere.

I believe there should be an effort to put people with dogs in one building to keep the noise level agreeable for others who have no pets or quiet pets like cats. Between the dogs and the loud music next to the room I had it was VERY difficult to get rest or hear tv unless I chose to act inconsiderate like the neighbors and put volume of tv up as loud as it would go. I did do that several times till they finally go the mesage. The walk ways and stairs are unsafe once they become wet. Adhesive strips that allow track should be placed at least on stairs before someone falls.

The property was outdated in general. Check in and check out is only done through an outside window on the side of a building as one enters the property. This seemed very impersonal. However, the person that helped with the check in was friendly. Check in was quick. Worst part came when my wife and I arrived at the room we were assigned. The first thing we noticed was a strong musty odor inside the non-smoking room. From that moment it was impossible not to think about the musty odor that could be noticed in the entire room and bathroom. There was even a damp rid bag hanging from a shelf and it was completely full of water/moisture. It looked like the bag had not been changed in some time. The furniture and beds were outdated but we did not mind that. Our main issue was the terrible musty odor. It was difficult to sleep with the sensation of breathing musty air. We had a two-night reservation but the first morning we checked out as there was no way we were going to spend another night there. The (different) person that helped us with the check out was also quite friendly when we explained the room was not what we expected. My wife and I do not mind older or outdated furniture but the musty odor was too much. Our sleeping clothes even got that musty odor on them. Luckily we packed all our other clothes inside our travel bag overnight so they would not pick the musty odor. So, no, I would not recommend this property and we would never go back. Stay away!!!
