The only thing that is stopping me from contacting Code Enforcement including ALL STATE AGENCIES, Ocala’s Local Channel 9 News AND the CDC. 
are the genuine employees here who I KNOW need the little bit of money that they work hard for. If not, I would have had this place SHUT DOWN in a heart beat. 

My husband and I are both business owners from the Miami & Wynwood District. Due to unfortunate events on our vacation travels, we had no choice but to book at this specific motel. 
Ken, who’s full name I do not know treated us horribly. I mean, literally beyond anything I can put into words. 
He is the sad case of a “man” who apparently runs the place.

Due to lack of communication regarding my 2yr & 5 month old French Bull dogs, Ken put me & my family through HOLY HELL. 
On top of our own tragic reasons of why we had to check in here, this entire experience was dreadful beyond belief. 

Ken physically BANGED on our room door demanding & shouting for payment on a simple misunderstanding over pet fees. A fee that we would of been more then happy to pay for with no issue from the very beginning. My husband & son where not in the room at the time of this incident. I still had soap on my face from rushing out of the shower wrapped in a towel! When I went to open the door to ask what the heck is going on he DEMANDED that I come out side.
Instead of kindly asking for a moment to discuss the issue at hand once I finished my shower, he choose the most aggressive resolution.

Anyone who knows of our breed of dogs will know primarily first and fore most how expensive they are to own and as Frenchie owners we would do anything for them. 

PET FEES HAVE NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE WITH US EVER.  Our family has Five Star ratings from all hosts of Airb&b’s stays and have never complained about pet fees at any lodging destination. We bring our babies on all travels and fully understand the implications of fees & necessary charges for having them. 

On the follow day, he did the SAME thing again because I didn’t SIGN the receipt/info card AFTER he already charged my card for the additional stay that we needed. 
Two encounters on Kens behalf. 
All in all, Ken is an aggressive, disrespectful & belligerent individual. He has no hospitality or business ethics when it comes to guests. If it wasn’t for me already being a strong willed women I don’t know if any other female would have had the capability to handle such an awful human being let alone dealing with an adult male of his age at that. 
 
Any one reading and looking for a review, 
if your able to spend your dollars else where I hope you can do so. To any women staying alone be mindful of who’s running the show out here. 

As far as the actual rooms, this place is roach infested, towels have stains on them, rooms have awful smell due to mold, crappy pluming, I found a needle cap under a bed looking for my dogs toy, the list goes on. He switch our rooms and both rooms had the same listed issues. 
Do not be fooled by their cute little photos with ‘Van Gogh’ paintings in them. 

People like Ken should be the ones out of business during these trying times. 

We informed him that a review will be left and he said he “did not care”.
He does not care about his guest. He does not care for his employees. He’s only interested in your HARD EARN MONEY.
Our money was spent on the worst of the worst. If I would have known that we would of been put through such turmoil over something so simple we would of all slept in the car!! 

If you must stay here like we did, many blessings.

To Ken: 
If you don’t change your ways, one day your going to piss the wrong person off & they will make it their duty to shut you down. 
When that day comes, I hope you remember my face.

DREADFUL EXPERIENCE

This place is very dirty and dated. Roaches were crawling on the dilapidated broken furniture. The air conditioner was broke and the crooked managers refuse to fix it or give us a fan. He seems to be a shyster very greedy and hard to deal with. 
we pd. $83.25. way too much.

Don't stay here!!!  Stay with reptablefranchise businesses.

Checked in at office didn't even go in room went to eat came back in 1 1\2 hour went in room looked at room found crack pipe in drawer went to office to try to get my money back manager said had a three hour no money back explained to him but he was not having it with that being said I left went to a different hotel and enjoyed my stay at a establishment that wasn't a crack house have a very Merry Christmas

Be careful on this place man is a crook wouldn't give recipe and has big drug problem at hotel

We don't recommend a smoke-free room with a sign on the door but smells like smoke inside, you can hear it all through the walls.

Passing through to Atlanta

I booked this on-line as I was traveling home over spring break.  The reviews were good so I took a chance.  The room was really sub-par.  For $88 / night I feel that the place should have been far better.
The linens were old, the shower/bath area was outdated and really badly remodeled.  I found 2 bugs in the room (nothing scary just beetles but still).
I would never stay here again and definitely not pay that much.
I feel almost bad giving this review as the owners were really nice and you could tell they kept it clean.

Too much for what you got.

This was a clean quiet room with a good bed for a great price.  The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area.  We will stay there again on a weekday.  Weekend rates were almost 3 times the price.
