Guest Reviews

• Kimberly (4/5): - Furniture falling apart
• Amber (2/5): Won’t Stay Again - Well….the room was clean. That’s about all I can say. I asked for a king bed, received two double beds. Had to sleep apart from my fiancé because we did not fit comfortably on a double bed. The AC GRINDED all night. Could not sleep it was so loud. There is no internal room lock. Only a latch. We arrived at 11pm and the check in was through a window with barely an inch gap and I could barely hear the gentleman checking me in. Will not be back. I read the reviews previously and I don’t know who or what was leaving these reviews.
• Joshua (2/5): - Quiet area and friendly staff. Halfway through the night we discovered roaches everywhere in the bathroom and sink area. We left immediately
• Phillip (8/5): - We needed just a simple place to sleep for one night. The motel has been updated on the outside and the room was nice as well. Nothing fancy. Just a clean bed bug free (we double checked) bed with a tv, refrigerator, microwave and bathroom. Staff was very friendly and the price was great. In all, it was just what we needed for the night.
• Debra (10/5): - Even though the motel is older, it was clean, the water pressure was good, the ac worked well. It had a microwave and small fridge which was perfect. The owners were very nice! We were there just over night because family members were at the RV park and we visited them. The RV park was just up the road, so this motel was convenient. Also we walked to Big Boss subs and deli for our breakfast sandwiches and they were delicious. Also had their cheese steak and meatball subs for dinner and they were delicious as well.
• Rebekah (10/5): - We ended up coming in a day early. We called and the owners were very accommodating to that.
• Lorie (10/5): - Older property but very clean. Even cleaner that a new building
• shane (10/5): 10/10 - 10/10 will stay again. Great place for divers to stay for local spots. The people are wonderful.
• Jackie (10/5): - Spotless room, great AC, very comfortable bed and kind, courteous owner.
• Aaron (10/5): - Very clean rooms
• Brittany (8/5): - You can really tell they manage it well and care about service and quality
• Patricia (10/5): - Room was very clean. Owners are very nice and helpful.
• Jose (8/5): - Fron
• RODNEY (10/5): - A wonderful motel and clean room. Run by the nicest people you'll ever meet! It was the best Motel experience I've had ever!
• Rob (8/5): - Nice and quiet, very close to Morrison Springs. We'll plan on staying again.
• Misty (10/5): Good place to stay. - We stayed in the king room. Very clean, comfortable bed, good AC, and very friendly staff!
• Alicia (10/5): - Very clean awesome stay
• Angela (10/5): - Basic motel, but everything clean and comfortable. Definitely would stay there again if in the area.
• Sara (10/5): - Good place
• Robert (6/5): - Hard mattress. Cheapest TP, few electrical outlets.
• Kevin (10/5): - Great place to stop for an overnight on a two-day road trip.
• Nicholas (10/5): Good stay - The roo
• James (6/5): - The property was misrepresented on the Expedia website. It looks like a 1950s 2-story motel, with all room doors opening to the parking lot. 20 min drive to decent food in DeFuniak Springs. The “rating” online had to be from paid shills. The only thing we liked was that the rooms were clean and didn’t have any odor. And, it was very quiet, probably because there were few guests. I paid $90 with tax?!! I could have/would have stayed in DeFuniak for $20 more were it not for the high guest rating posted on this property.
• Eileen (6/5): - I think I just expected a little more given the reviews. The room itself was fine; the area around felt a little sketchy to me.
• Biya (10/5): - Thanks
• Denise (10/5): Great stay! - Motel was very clean and owners were super friendly.
• Michelle (8/5): - The owners were extremely nice, the room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. Two things to note, however: (1) The couple of local places to eat closed earlier than when we arrived at 5:15 on Sunday. We had to drive about 10 minutes to another exit to get food. So if you need to eat, you may want to stop before you arrive at the motel. (2) There were no grips on the floor of the tub/shower and no grab bars. We feared slipping getting in and out of the shower. Other than that we had a nice experience.
• Edie (10/5): - Beds and pillows are so comfortable and we always have a great night sleep and get well rested.
• Josh (10/5): - Nice staff, clean and nice rooming. Great facilities.
• Cassie (8/5): - I loved my stay, jusr the bed was a little hard to sleep on.
• Barbara (10/5): - Clean rooms Beds comfortable and wonderful staff . Not fancy but very clean !!
• Wenche Niemeyer (10/5): Great value! - Just love this cozy motel. Stayed here before and will stay again!
• Audrey (10/5): - We have stayed a few times at this motel when traveling to Florida. Its quiet and a family run place. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and well worth it if you have food with you (we had leftovers that we could heat up in the microwave and milk for our morning coffee). My only concern was being charged for using a credit card. The amount was nominal and they have a big sign, but nothing on the Hotels.com site, since you have to pay on property.
• Demetrius (4/5): - cheap hotel for the money..no ironing boards...or irons in room ..an old hotel
• Richard (8/5): - No restaurant nearby. Clean room but eat before you get there
• Marlene (8/5): Excellent - Very clean tile floors no smell quite
• Tina (10/5): Excellent - This is an old motel but has been very well taken care of. Super clean. Even the baseboards were clean. There isn’t much to do here or restaurants but 15 min up the road has plenty. Owners were very nice and accommodating.
• Robert (8/5): - Close to I-10, shares the exit with a nice rest area that allowed a safe walk around the perimeter. Hotel room was clean, adequate. Staff was friendly and welcoming.
• Charles (10/5): - bed was comfortable and the room was clean. AC worked well too.
• Mark (10/5): - Old style motel 2 story all facing the parking. I could keep an eye on my van. I liked it, it was clean, tidy and the owner was friendly. He told me if I needed anything at all he was there 24-7. Super quiet!!
• Steve (10/5): - A very clean room. Everything in the room functioned properly. Nice and quiet. Great staff. I've stayed at 3-4 star motels where the rooms were not as nice as they were at this motel. I talked to another guest and he said his room was as nice.
• Jim (10/5): - Very clean
• Edie (10/5): - Good night sleep and Beds are Comfortable!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was one of the best motels I have ever been to. Everything was wonderful. I will always stay there when I take my trips. I recommend it highly. Carmon
• Anthony (10/5): - The owners and staff work their tails off to keep this place clean and inviting. We had no issues, beds were comfy and room has exactly what you need. Very friendly and informative about the area when I had questions. Keep up the great work and hope to see you again soon!!!
• Veronica (10/5): - Very convenient for our purpise.
• Christen (10/5): - I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Motel, and I can confidently say it was a delightful experience! The location is fantastic, with easy access to the beautiful springs and just a short drive to town where I found plenty of shopping options. The motel itself was impressively clean, making my stay very comfortable. I truly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, largely thanks to the friendly staff who were always ready to assist with a smile. Their hospitality made a great impression and added to the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a convenient and pleasant place to stay, I highly recommend this place!
• Michael (8/5): - Our host was really gracious in allowing us to check in early and they granted us to check out late as well... everything that I asked for he humbly provided... Would definitely stay there again!... Also it was very quiet
• Patrick (10/5): - Easy in and easy out of the parking lot staff live there 24 hr. not far from the cold springs park. or if you are a biker the hideout is only 5 miles down the road.
• Michael (8/5): - This is my second time staying at the property. It is a nice and quiet place to stay with only a short drive to the beaches around Panama City. It is also a short drive from the Falling Waters and Florida Caverns State Parks.
• Debra (8/5): - The staff was great
• shannon (10/5): - Prices are great
• Morgan (10/5): Amazing Stay! - Me and my bf only stayed for one night but it was a great stay. I would definitely stay here again. Had a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room. Bed was clean and the room smelled fresh and clean. Looks like brand new floors and painted walls. Check-in and check-out was easy. The two people working at the front were very welcoming. Had me sign a paper and gave us our keys. Bathroom was clean and shower was big. Water could have been warmer it was chilly but still really nice. The only issue with staying here is that the town does not have a store or fast food but it is like a fifteen minute drive.
• Schuyler (4/5): - The man at the front was very nice and polite. He was the better part of the stay. I noted the room as being dirty and saw several roaches. The price for the room was a bit high for what was offered and the age of the amenities. The extra star is only for the nice man at the front. I enjoyed our conversations, but will not be returning to this motel.
• Anissa (10/5): - This is a very agreeable property. It’s simple, clean and convenient for visits to the springs nearby. The shower head was wiggly and there was a small hole in the shower wall, but other than that it was very well kept. I would recommend to friends
• guadalupe (8/5): Plain and simple! - Clean place to stay and get rest, would stay again if needed.
• Wilmarie (10/5): - Very clean place
• Frank (10/5): - Very clean, just a wonderful place to stay, but they need WiFi and USB charging spots
• Dylan (6/5): - They accidentally gave my room away! We did check in at 10 something, yet there was my name with a line through it when we showed up. We ended up getting one king bed, which isnt optimal but better than nothing. Clean room, nice people.
• WILLIAM (10/5): - Shower was very strong, door frame had a few spots where you can see outside, and the curtain let a lot of light in from outside around the curtain. Room was ery clean, and one bed was hard and the other very soft. Staff was wonderful, helpful, and friendly.. There is a gas station within wslking distance with friendly people. There were a couple businesses with bars on windows and doors. I would stay there again. Very clea .
• Gina (6/5): - Bed uncomfortable; A/C seem to get only work til 10pm then warmed up. We had to have the fan on.
• Tammy (10/5): Pesky cat but nice place to stay! - It’s a nice place to stay. We were able to check in late. But we’re short on towels and when we went to get more no one could be found. There was also a stray cat that kept trying to get in our room and was under your feet the entire time you were trying to pack your car. The room itself is nice and with your regular things fridge, microwave, coffee pot, and hair dryer! This was our 2nd time staying here and I think I’d stay again. Overall 8/10
• Alan (8/5): - Old style Motel. The room look like it was newly painted and the carpets looked also new. The bed was firm but comfortable. The air conditioner worked well and more importantly was quiet. The shower was simple but effective plenty of hot water. We stayed there on the way to Florida Orlando area. It was reasonably priced clean. If we’re ever in need of a hotel while traveling and this is convenient we would stay there again.
• Jacqueline (10/5): - A quiet, relaxing spot, very comfortable and very clean. Owners were on site and very accommodating. We will return and recommend when in the area.
• Bruce (8/5): - Nice owners
• Deborah (10/5): - Nothing fancy, but based on other travelers’ reviews, this seemed to be the best option anywhere in the area. The only negative was that there were no restaurants in the immediate vicinity; we would’ve had to get back in the car and drive to another exit to find restaurants. But the room was clean and comfortable, had a microwave in a mini fridge and coffee maker, And everything seem to be in working condition. It’s just far enough off the highway that we really didn’t hear any highway noise.
• stephen (10/5): Great at the Price Point - Clean and well maintained.
• Cori (10/5): Simple and Clean - This is a nice little old style motel just off I-10. It was clean and comfortable, no frills but it did have a nice mini fridge and microwave. We were there for a house hunting trip and werent in the room much but it had all we needed. It appears to be run by an older husband and wife team who were very friendly.
• Connie (8/5): - Carpet felt great and bed was excellent. People were very friendly. Remote control fit tv was awful!
• Stacey (8/5): Great unexpected find! - Owners are very nice and accommodating. Our reservation didn't show up in their system but they still honored everything. My daughter really wanted a 2nd floor room and they happily gave us one. The room was clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the refrigerator. My only complaint is the shower head. It sprayed every which way unless it was in the center high-pressure setting.
• Jennifer (8/5): - For a budget hotel, it was vey clean and comfortable The staff were very friendly and helpful
• Elaine (8/5): - Nice simple motel. Liked the friendly helpful staff.
• Brian (10/5): - Great place to stay if diving at the springs. Only 4 miles away.
• Kenneth (10/5): - This property is easy to get to while traveling. It was older, but clean, updated, and cute. We walked to the second gas station down and got delicious food from a Deli. We would stop here again if we are passing through the area.
• David (10/5): - The curtain didn’t hold out the light from the well lit walkway.
• Larry E. (10/5): - The property is old but, the room I stayed in looked exactly like the photo on the web site. It was really clean and well maintained. I was very impressed.
• Christina (8/5): PDL motel - The folks that own this motel are very kind and friendly. It’s not the newest or fanciest place but it’s comfortable and very clean. I had friends in 2 other rooms and they felt the same way as well! Next time I’m going to the springs, I’d stay here again.
• Allen (6/5): - Very convenient to Vortex and Morrison Springs. Short drive to Destin, FL. Approximately 10 miles to lots of restaurants and shopping. Rooms had been remodeled and were clean.
• Natacha (10/5): - The room was very clean. That is important
• Shawn (10/5): - The staff was very nice and helpful, they helped when I had a nose bleed and kept an item I left in my room when I left safe until I came back to get it. Rooms are clean and secure as well.
• HOPE (10/5): - Very nice staff and quiet place
• Gina (10/5): - Very friendly close to springs
• Keith (8/5): - Good place to stay passing thru town. Convenient and comfortable.
• Kimberly (10/5): - We had a wonderful 3 night stay. I highly recommend this place. The owners put a lot of time and effort in cleaning and maintaining this older motel and it shows. The room was super clean and quiet. We were unfortunately in the area for a celebration of life but were still able to check out the state park springs, it was beautiful and refreshing.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean facility, owners seem motivated to make sure you have a good stay
• Mac (4/5): - Needs better maintenance in rooms, dirty sheets a/c not very efficient. For price. Staff were friendly ice machine broke. Room door didn’t not lock securely.
• Marivel (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean rooms
• Curtis (10/5): - Very nice!
• Karen (10/5): - Very friendly staff, comfortable & quiet room.
• Joel (10/5): Great little spot to stay for Vortex Springs! - My wife and I were going to Vortex Springs and needed a place to stay last minute. This came up, was nice an inexpensive, and was well-reviewed, so we booked. When we arrived the lady working the desk was very pleasant and got us checked in quickly. The next morning I spoke with the gentleman who also runs the motel and he was more than accommodating when I made a special request. I would definitely stay here again, very nice people.
• E. (10/5): - Convenient and easy to check in and check out. Perfect for a quick overnight on the drive through Florida.
• Evelyn (8/5): - Very nice, clean motel
• Lynn (8/5): - The property was clean, staff was very nice. Tv didn’t work, internet was spotty. The property is located by 3 gas stations, and a wayside rest. The only place to eat is at a Big Boss Deli, gas station food. As a solo traveler with my dog, I didn’t feel unsafe but will probably not stay here again. Again the rooms were clean and the staff was very nice.
• Cameron (8/5): - Nothing fancy but clean and great location. 30 miles from beach for $100 a night. Near the beach 250 a night. Easy drive to Santa Rosa.
• Peyton (2/5): - Awful
• Maria Consuelo (10/5): - The Managers were very friendly and very honest. I forgot a ring on the bathroom counter and they stopped me before leaving to give me the ring I had left in the room. This ring used to be my Mother’s. Thank you very much!
• Devon (2/5): - The whole room smelt like cigarettes. Sheets too
• Charles (10/5): - Hosts very nice
• Ken (8/5): SCUBA Certified - It's perfect for what I need. Close to where I'm working at that time. It's basic, but clean. Only negative was that the TV remote didn't work.
• Geoffrey (10/5): - Fair price. Clean room.
