Spanish River Inn

When we are looking for a hotel we look at price and cleanliness. This hotel fit both of these.

It was a place to lay our heads. Beds were old, soft and very uncomfortable. Bathroom floor was dirty with dust and dirt piled in the corner behind the door.

It was very different from the pictures, the room was old and dirty. There were mattresses left at the reception.The place made us feel unsafe, there was just an old key to lock the room's door. Do not stay there! Definitely a place to avoid!

The room was clean and as we were situated at the back of the Inn it was quiet. Staff were friendly. This Inn is undergoing some much needed upgrades but the price was right and we were satisfied with our stay.

no coffee maker and microwave not connected to power

The property was fine, everything we expected it to be - a convenient stop for my partner and our dog to stop on our long trip, right on the highway. What we didn’t expect was to be treated the way we were by staff. I called the number provided by the listing at 1pm and at 5pm the day before to let them know that we’d be arriving late (around midnight). They didn’t pick up at 1pm, but I spoke to someone at 5pm. We were told it wouldn't be a problem and we were instructed to call upon arrival and were met with hostility by the staff on site who didn’t want to check us in despite having just spoken with someone on the phone at midnight. He was argumentative and checked us in. The person on site came by to apologize about his behaviour last night but didn’t fail to tell me how they don’t check in after 11pm and actually no one was site when I called so the message didn’t reach him. There’s only one number provided and the sign outside has it listed with “open 24/7” below. I’ve travelled all across the world and I’ve never had an issue like this.

Photos online extremely deceiving as this motel is no place you'd want to stay. The restaurant is long closed with carboard in all the windows, there are poor persons going through cigarette butt cans in front of the room doorways and the place looks like it hasnt been maintained or cleaned in decades. Some online reviews warn of bedbugs and itching after staying there. It was so awful looking I didnt even stay there although I had a reservation I'd made online after being rudely deceived by very old photos

The office door was locked upon arrival with a note with number to call that went right to voicemail. Another guest came by and knocked on a room window to get the attendants attention. When he opened the door there was no greeting, just had me fill out a form and handed me one key. The room was beyond filthy, toilet looked like it had never been cleaned, used soap and hair in the tub, dirt on the floors and a blood stain on one of the beds sheet. Contemplated sleeping in my car and actually did leave around 6am. So much more wrong. ******* should be embarrassed to list this property. The least the owners could do is clean the room. I expected old but not this disgusting. Just needed a place to sleep on route of a long drive.
